Social Media

Ok, I know there threads about Twitter, Facebook, blah blah blah on the Ledge, but I had an interesting experience this past week which was very enlightening and one I hadnt had before. I had met someone at work and he decided to invite me out with his friends. Now first of all, this guy was 27, so quite a bit younger than I am, and he neglected to inform me that he and his friends were members of Twitter, Foursquare, and whatever else. SO the time came to go out and I didnt get a call from the guy as to where to meet. I had given him my # at work and I just assumed that's how he would contact me. Well, I assumed wrong. after thinking I'd been ditched he came into my store a couple days later and asked me why I hadnt shown up. It was then that he explained that he and his other friends had decided to coordinate everything through their Iphones on Twitter and foursquare. HE gave me this look like "Wait, you mean your not a part of those networks? Oh I'm sorry." I instantly knew I was either clueless or old or just some dinosaur that might as well head straight for the nursing home.....
