The Comics Reporter Twitter Update

The funny thing is that I knew going in this was going to be the Twitter Comic-Con, but I had no intention of adding my voice to the chorus of what was a weekend reported in mostly real-time.

I'm going to have a problem with using Twitter generally in that I'm not on-line a lot of the time. I don't even take a computer to conventions. I no longer own a mobile communications device. At the office, I try to turn the computer off for four to six hours of my workday. This disqualifies me from maximizing the obvious opportunity represented by the popularity of this platform: constant attention to all things comics, reported in something akin to real time. I can only hope there will remain a place for not real-time commentary and analysis, and that you'll continue to read this site for that kind of material.

Further, I'm not inclined to build whatever brand I'm supposed to be building -- I guess CR -- through personal confession. I'm boring, and I can't imagine anyone on earth not in my immediate circle cares when I get on a plane or what I ate for breakfast or that my football team is winning or that I'm re-reading Jernigan. A lot of people can pull that off, and I enjoy reading about them, but I'm not one of those people.

All that babbling is to say I'm working with three accounts right now, one or more of which you might find useful.

@comicsreporter, where I sift through comics people's stuff, post breaking news if I happen to be on-line (don't count on this) and draw attention to new things on the site.
@tomspurgeon, my personal feed, where I moan and gripe about movies and books and the rest of my work and life as it occurs to me to do so. Because I'm a hypocrite. I can't imagine anyone being interested in this but I'm sure a few of my friends out there might want to know about it.
@crreviewfeed, where I'll soon be providing short reviews of material that doesn't lend itself to long reviews.

I'm sure splitting stuff up is a completely stupid and backwards way to do this, in part because it fails to build followers through the most posts possible in one place. This is what feels good to me, though. Besides, I can't imagine adding two or three feeds in which you might be interested when you're following a 100 or whatever is really that much more of a hassle over adding one. At least I hope not. I'd love .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) who would like to suggest anything at all regarding how my use of this stuff might be more useful to you, and I thank you for the charity of reading this entire TL/DNR and self-indulgent post.
