Overall the experience was a positive one; despite a lot of the negative feedback of what we participated in.
I learned the how powerful social media is; how 4 people can start an idea and have hundreds of folk propagate and discuss it.
I learned that I still have a backbone. I’m still willing to stand up for something I believe in, despite name-calling and ridicule :).
I learned that it’s human nature to assume first and get details later, if at all — hence the misconceptions of what Twit-Out actually was.
I learned that folks whine and complain against those who they accuse of whining and complaining and defend their need to whine and complain.
My greatest lesson learned is that I don’t need Twitter. I have a million different ways to spend my time and 999,000 of them can be off the computer, involving a loving wife and other real people.
Overall, this was great and don’t regret a thing! That being said, I’m happy to put Twit-Out behind me and look forward to seeing how Twitter works out (or not) in the future.
