To Tweet or Not to Tweet? – That is the Question

I’m really not sure about the Twitter thing. Facebook – I’m sold on – its value and pervasive presence in every aspect of the world we live in is unquestionable. But Twitter – what’s really happening out there in Twitterland?

I’m sure that by now, all of you Twitter convertees are going to tell me about the Obama campaign and the Iranian revolution  – both of which Tweeters claim was one by shear tweets alone. But for us mere mortals who are not involved in revolutions or presidential campaigns – is Twitter really making a difference? Is it a fad or is it here to say?

And importantly (or at least importantly as this blog is concerned) is Twitter one of those things that Jews and Jewish organizations are rushing to join because everyone warns them that they cant fall further behind in the realm of technology – only to discover that they have no idea why they have joined and what to do once they have got there?

So I’m really getting into this delicious website. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you can look up my delicious page – or just check out my latest additions on the blog.

In today’s day and age when so much information is being thrown at us it’s virtually impossible to read it all – so along comes delicious with a really clever way of storing and tagging. The problem as you can imagine is like those of us who manage to accumulate many books – just because you have them doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve read them.

What else could go wrong?

This article started off as the usual run-of-the-mill article about the Middle East. Nothing particularly unusual or noteworthy.

But then comes the last paragraph:

In Sderot on Thursday, about 200 children holding Israeli flags attached letters
of peace to white balloons and sent them aloft on a hillside toward Gaza. But
the wind was unfavorable and the balloons flew in the opposite direction.

Can you believe it? What else could possibly go wrong?

Any reactions?
