I'm a novice but like Facebook you "follow" people's updates albeit shorter (think facebook's status updates on steroids).
I think the beauty is getting texts on your phone from those you want quick info from. Like I follow the NY Times and every time they post a new headline I get a tweet. So I find out news quickly. You can put that to your phone or just follow on the computer. So while I follow like 150 people, I only have 3 of them sent to my phone.
Your humble blogger is Mike Hayes, a well-known expert in the world of young adult ministry (20s and 30s) in the Catholic Church. Mike is the author of Googling God (Paulist, 2007) where he explores both the chaotic world that young people live in and their religious reactions to that world. He also explores the age of instant gratification and how churches can respond to the needs of the young adult age by using technology alongside more traditional ministry methods.
Mike founded the award winning BustedHalo.com® in 2001 and continues to contribute to it as the editor of their catechetical section appropriately named Googling God.
Recently, he left BustedHalo® to focus on more direct ministry with young people at St Joseph University Parish as a Campus Minister for the South Campus at the University at Buffalo.
He has only two loves: his adorable wife, Marion and a nine pound chihuahua named Haze, who still find him amusing enough to let them live in their home.

That was great! I have yet to master twitter, I am still lost. And I am pretty big into the whole "social media thang." What is it with twitter?
There is a particular postmodern conundrum to it though, isn't there?
I still want to figure it out though.
