Okay, spare me the reminders of how much fun I’ve made of this annoying new medium. When everybody is having fun in the pool, it makes no sense to sit on the tarmac sweltering in the heat because you look funny in a bathing suit.
As of yesterday, the Bing Blog is on Twitter. I’ll be honest with you. I have no idea how you follow me, because I don’t yet follow anybody. I did for a little while. Like, I signed up to follow a few journalists I know, and a couple of friends, and Ashton Kutcher. And every ten seconds, it seemed, my BlackBerry would buzz with an interesting tidbit about something that one of those people was doing. There was only one problem with that. I’m not really interested in what anybody else is doing. I’m barely interested in what I’m doing. And if I was interested in what somebody else was doing, I’d give them a call or send them a text message. So I stopped following anybody and my life has been 12% less crowded with effluvia ever since.
Please don’t let that dissuade you, however. I think thebingblog is the name of the twitter feed. If there’s any further information required, I will update you. It’s just another way to make sure you are plugged in to what’s really going on in this fast-moving media space, and that you under no circumstances ever have more than two minutes of uninterrupted thought. I’m happy to do my part. So follow me at twitter.com/thebingblog!
