I was born to Twitter.  Back in the old days when I posted more regularly on the Dawg Vent (my handle was/is Chase Street Package),  I’d make a point to fit whatever I had to say into the subject line only.  At least 95% of the time anyway, figuring that if a point couldn’t be made in the 50-or-so character limit contained in the subject line, it probably wasn’t worth making.  So I feel almost lazy with Twitter and its 140-character limit; it’s truly a fish-meet-water situation for me.

Those of you familiar with Twitter are probably familiar with the concept of “hashtags.”  If a group of people have a particular area of interest, e.g., Georgia football, they all put the same word in every post and precede it with the hash (#) symbol, e.g., #dawgs.  So if a twitterer goes to the twitter search engine and searches for “#dawgs” all twitters with that tag will pop up in chronological order, like a Twitter Dawgvent.  Eventually someone more popular than me will popularize #dawgs and there will be twitters aplenty in the dawgtwittersphere, but until then you’ll be stuck with just little ol’ me.
