Is it time to join Twitter?

It is not as if I need more distractions in my life. It is taking me hours to finish even a page of BS on my paper... I mean a page of meaningful fluff. I recently received a request from my mother to follow me a Twitter. No, I am not currently a member of Twitter though I've heard good things. Typically, I'm on the forefront of innovation and I suppose in my business school box, I've turned into a laggard. Even Dean Bruner is on Twitter!

That's likely what spurred this thought of mine, as did this lovely lady's blog post. I'm not sure if I am ready to make the plunge yet. Between Facebook, GTalk, email, text and surfing the web, I surely have enough to keep me busy. Though seeing my old boss on Twitter, makes me revisit this idea.

Keep up with Darden on Twitter... check out this list.

When I first signed up for Twitter, I thought it was silly. But since I connected with all the Dardenites and incoming Dardenites (if that's what we call ourselves!), it's been a great source of information. I've learned such things as: Kindle DX pilot project is coming to Darden and that Ivy Gardens is indeed air conditioned.

Connecting on Twitter huh? We used Facebook... guess the world is evolving. ;)

One note, if you're not planning on arriving until the day before school starts, reconsider. (Assuming you have the flexibility) Some of my best days are Darden were the 1-2 weeks prior to school, including PCAP week. It was like summer camp - except that everyone is at least 21!

Well, Facebook has been great, too... the Darden Class of 2011 group has a sufficient amount of action, but it's not as easy to connect with all the existing and recently graduated students. I don't think the Kindle news has hit the Facebook group yet, for example.

I will be there a week before "first week" starts and am looking forward to connecting with everyone!
