Don't be shy! blog@ohtwitter.com - @dacort - @MarinaMartin
ReadWriteWeb is hosting an informal poll asking us how far our Twitter following reaches beyond the geek community (if at all).
Hop on over and vote in the poll.
The comments are a treasure trove of experiences, ranging from PyramidView:
Twitter?!? I can’t even get my father to use email.
to Curt:
Well, my parents, as of a couple days now, ARE Twittering. They’re on a 3 month trip across the US and I helped them set up an account at @regularnavy to update us on their progress.
to Nick Nichols:
My Mom is 83. (I’m 56) She uses the computer a lot - email, Google, and keeping up with my Twitter. She lives in Dallas, TX. I live in the Philippines. She keeps telling me over and over how much she appreciates being able to keep up with me through my Twitters.
Are your parents on Twitter?
My sister (who is not so tech) approached me late last year asking me about Twitter. I set up her account and she doesn’t use it. That said, I can realistically see her picking it up.
I have been trying to jumpstart my non-geek family and friends on Twitter. The problem isn’t the complexity but the fact that it’s a disruptive service: one that will ultimately change the way they do other things.
