1 Week on Twitter

For the past week, I've been active on Twitter. Even though I've had the account for quite a while, I never used the system. Since becoming active, at the time of this writing, I have 110 followers, and I'm following 113 others. Pretty incredible to make over 100 new friends online in less than a week.

I've known a few of the people I'm following, but for 95% of it, it's new people with similar interests in technology, culture, music, etc. And get this, the list keeps growing. Every day.

I have had a very positive experience to date. People are polite, no flame wars that I have seen or been part of, and have learned a lot from many different people. How great is it to meet that many new people in less than a week, and have instant access?

Heading to Keeneland Racetrack tomorrow. Our division won a sales contest so everyone (including support personnel, we couldn't sell without their help) are taking a charter bus trip for the opening day of racing. Should be exciting.
