"What are you doing?" 說真格的, 這是大家關心, 想知道, 也想問的簡單問題, 但礙於隱私權, 或許也讓許多人怯步吧! 但如今還得謝謝"twitter"的服務, 讓人與人之間的距離拉近了, 也就是隱私大公開啊! 每次只需寫下不超過140個字母的近況(這頗適合忙碌的人), 就可使關心你的人follow你的近況.<br /><br />其實甭提別人了, 就連我這個作妻子的最佳拍擋, 也每天去twitter上看看我的老公有何事可報告的, 特別是當他出國之時, 打電話太貴, 寫 email 時間可能不允許, twitter倒是好招術 (怎麼有點打廣告之嫌?) 那麼那些是關心你的人呢? 屬世一點的説法就是"粉絲"啦, 屬靈一點的說法就是代求者囉! 每次看twitter時當然也會注意一下有多少的 follower? 哇!每天都有增加, 不禁想到:若得救的人數也天天增加該有多好. 我也順便詢查了一下, 發現有影響力的牧師如 Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, John Maxwell等都有 twitter, 而且他們的 follower 都是上萬的, 若 follower 都成為代求者, 那仇敵豈不就無隙可乘了嗎?<br /><br />有人鼓勵我也弄個twitter, 我還在考慮之中, 這也得看是否會有 follower? 或許這也是一種信心. 這年頭若要跟上時代, 追上潮流,還真不容易呢!<br />很多人問我:怎麼只有一張照片在 face book, 一篇文章在部落格? 不瞞你說, 要學會如何使用這些溝通新招, 還是一大學問, 正在努力之中, 不過這兩天有進步了, 在部落格上多爬了些格子呢!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
