Since we started this website and started planning our kayak trip we have been kicking around the idea of joining twitter. It seems like such an easy way to keep people updated when you are adventuring and come in contact with a fair amount of new people. But every time we got close to registering we shot down the idea for any number of reasons; we didn’t like the idea of people having THAT much access, we didn’t know if we would update enough, we didn’t think our lives were interesting enough to bore people with more frequent updates, and on and on. We saw other people use it to great success and occasionally regretted our decision not to use it in conjunction with daily journals.
When we got back we launched a new site containing this blog and just dropped the idea of Twitter. It didn’t seem pertinent anymore. Our blog would inform people enough about the adventures in our lives and we could just post the interesting stuff. Maybe we would consider it again when we started gearing up for the PCT.
Then Matt went out west last week with his brother. Chris used twitter and twitpic the entire time to make updates on his blog, Inside the Outside. Matt came back excited about the possibilities and finally talked me into it.
So we joined twitter. But now what. Well first off we need some friends so if you are on Twitter check us out. Matt’s twitter can be found at twitter.com/mattabbotts and mine can be found at twitter.com/hannahabbotts. Please follow us. We also need to follow others so if you have an account let us know and we will follow along. We have no idea how this is going to go. We know we will use it when we are out and about as an easy way to make micro posts and keep people more up to date and informed about our adventures, whether we will use it in our daily lives and daily adventures is yet to be seen.
