Dateline: March 21, 2007: Tim from Winecast starts using Twitter and I profess not to “get it” in our podcast Unfiltered # 3
Dateline: Late summer of 2007: Wine bloggers descend en masse on Facebook.com
Dateline: Mid-February 2008: Wine bloggers flee Facebook.com for the Open Wine Consortium
Dateline: February 29, 2008: Hugh from Gapingvoid.com says:
Yesterday, I joked on Twitter, “Note to World: If you’re not on Twitter, I don’t want to make friends with you.” Like all humor, there is some truth to it. I find people who use Twitter much easier to communicate with, than with people who don’t. As a result, Twitter has become the main engine I use these days for cultivating my social network.
Dateline: April 1, 2008: Tim from Winecast and I do a podcast, Unfiltered 8, and I still don’t get Twitter
Dateline: April 8, 2008: Tom from Fermentation jumps in the Twitter pool
Dateline: April 10, 2008: Hugh from Gapingvoid.com closes his Twitter account
Dateline: April 13, 2007: Tyler from Dr. Vino announces his social networking handles, including Twitter
Dateline: April 16, 2007: Out of defiant iconoclasm, I now refuse to even begin using Twitter, stopping just short of mocking that which I do not understand; electing not to participate in an activity that has been called “the crack cocaine of social media.”

I feel your pain.
I reluctantly joined up and have had to abstain for a few days as just catching up with the tweets of all those you follow and those who follow you can take overn an hour….
“That hurts my brain…”
