Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

I have always considered myself a communicator. Fascinated by our rich language with all it’s nuances, I have always loved using it whenever I can.  Writing, speaking, talking with others- I simply cannot ever get enough.
My job at the court requires constant communication.  Hearing a Small Claims case-listening to both sides, hearing what they have to say, making a decision, and then communicating that decision.  Talk, talk. talk- on the phone helping someone solve a landlord tenant problem, listening to someone complain about not getting a service they paid for, or helping someone understand why even though they won their case that we couldn’t turn someone upside down and shake the money out of their pockets. Talk, Talk, Talk- to co workers- people at other courts-this is my job -constant communication.
Come home have a bite to eat head to the gym.  Hows your work out? how many miles did you do in the treadmill? Hey you look great- how many pounds did you lose? Asking questions getting answers having two way conversations-communicating.
Then I pick up my I pod Touch, click on Twittelator. What’s up I tweet.......nothing- no response.  I see other people conversing they are there-somehow I am just invisible. I see one of the people I follow tweet- my group won the battle of the Bands!  I tweet “hey great what did you win?”  Nothing no response whatsoever.  I check back twenty minutes later- still no response although the person is still there tweeting away-just not tweeting at me. Ok time for bed anyway.  I check the next day still no response. How odd-and yet this is considered cutting edge communications this twitter thing.
So I guess as we progress as a society and obtain all of these communication tools-we actually communicate less despite have the ability to do more.
I will end with the absolute best though.  So fed up with this complete lack of communication and ignorance, I start crabbing about it in my tweeting, and this is the response I got as an explanation.  “Generally when I am on here I consider that I am talking to myself....” My question is why bother tweeting?  If you can just sit and talk to yourself-why not just do that/  Why bother sitting in front of a computer or hand held device and tweeting so others can just ignore you.  It just makes no sense, and.....
it also make those seemingly inane conversations you have during the day. “hey is it hot enough for ya?”  “Looks like rain!” and “Have a good one.....”  seem oh so important when you consider that as silly and overused as those comments might be at least there is some actual conversational give and take between to humans- and not just tweeting to yourself.
Perhaps I just need some new ‘Tweeties.” someone with a desire and an ability to actually communicate.   Ah that’s the ticket!
