“Twittering” – Social Networking or Mass Distraction? : Trial Presentation Blog
Posts · October 22, 2009
O.K. – so I’ve officially become a “Twit”.
I’ve had my “Twitter” account for about 9 months now and didn’t have a clue as to what to do with it.
Two weeks ago I jumped into the fray and gave the world tacit approval to stalk my every move, read my fleeting thoughts and, more or less, participate in “my daily experience”. (Wasn’t this what my Blog was supposed to do? And the “LinkedIn”?)
Twitter is the “now experience” on the internetspreading like an uncontrolled virus throughout the world – easy to get but a nasty little number to get rid of.
I had the good people at LexBlog set up my little “Tweet Box” (off to the left there) so that anyone who wished to live vicariously through my experiences could get a glimpse of my inner thoughts and observations – such as they are..raw and unvarnished.
Amazingly, to date, about 50 or so people have chosen to “follow me” in my daily escapades and glean what (little) wisdom I can offer throughout the day. Talk about pressure to perform!
For those of you who don’t understand the “Twitter Phenomena” let me just say “You either get it or you don’t”. I won’t even attempt to explain the attraction or fascination the world has with this new form of viral communication; it reminds me things like the “Pet Rock” or CB Radios of yesteryear – a unique experience for many but a puzzle for the rest (the sane world).
My challenge is trying to get a complete thought out in 140 characters (or less) and have it make a modicum of sense. Originally I thought it was 140 WORDS or less.
You have NO IDEA what a challenge this has been for me! I’m not known for brevity… not by a long shot! Especially when I’m trying to be profound. (Note: Twitter is not a vehicle for (my) profound thoughts).

The expert consulting services provided by VR Legal Resources assisted the Orange County District Attorney’s Prosecution Team in obtaining a conviction in the criminal case of People v. Haidl, Nachreiner, and Spann.
VR Legal Resources remained available throughout the whole legal process. The equipment provided to authenticate the videotape in question was top-of-the-line and used successfully to educate the jury during trial. Mr. Hagen’s expert testimony was superb as well, demonstrating his outstanding knowledge of the subject matter. I would not hesitate in consulting with VR Legal Resources and Mr. Hagen in any case where an expert is needed in the area of audio/video technology. (edited for spacing)
