Is Twitter the new Butterfly wings flapping? And why is it so hard to download stuff- oh thats right work computer limitations

The use of Twitter for me had been one of a -OMG who cares if you are drinking coffee, but after I read this transcript I have begun to be converted.The potential twitter has and how quickly and powerfully it can affect outcomes is something that needs to be greatly admired.

I have to sat that I long ago converted to the text messaging crazy. It possible costs more cause often there is texting back and forth conversation that would have been quicker, but it is also a great way to catch people up without having a conversation- especially when in a hurry or too busy to talk. And definitely the last year and half , my means of any form of conversation on weekends when I am tugged in the library all day Sat and Sun doing uni work.
So is my next step twitter, going to have a look at that as an option.
Check out the transcript from  the Drum ABC radio program link below-

The price that I pay for having a work lap top is the lack of free down in picking and choosing what to download, though I had sorted my download issue of a DVD I developed on my last graffiti art project, and that I could easily download the podcasting software. But access was denied - so will see, well beg and plead with IT next week if there is any possible ways around this issue. It is certainly a level of frustration that makes the contemplation of the advantages of having work equipment available and use.

But it can come at a price- not one that I necessarily disagree with. But is does add extra time to my job, like now when I am discovering all these ways to use the new technology and want to try it out through uni in my assignment, and then expand how this can then be transported in to my work with young people. Channels can take time- and I am impatient at times.
