That den of insecurity known as Twitter has always seemed slightly ridiculous to me even though I know quite a few people who like it a lot. There are in fact lots of bondage models and photographers on it and some of them I’d like to follow. So after much hesitation – heck, I’ve held out for a couple years now! – I finally signed up a few days ago and made a profile. I have no idea if I’ll stick with it or simply give up in bewilderment and frustration in a few weeks.

I certainly don’t “get it” at this point and can’t imagine how anyone could possibly follow more than maybe twenty-five people without being overwhelmed. I see users who are following hundreds, even thousands, of people and I just think, how? Obviously there’s no way to read that many “tweets” (I can’t believe I just used that word for real). I’ve also seen some users who tweet something like forty or more times a day, which almost seems rude to the poor folks who are following you. I think the most I’ve tweeted was four in one day, and I felt like I was really over-doing it at that point.

I also briefly followed an anonymous non-bondage person who asked me to, but he was so active that my timeline was suddenly filled with this guy’s tweets and re-tweets. I felt bad to do it, but I quietly hit the “unfollow” button. Anyway, if you are on Twitter, I don’t even know if I would recommend following me or not, for I am far from sold. Believe me, I will not be offended if you choose not to (and of course, I won’t know anyway!). So with that glowing endorsement – hey, yeah, follow my exciting tweets on Twitter!
