People who aren’t on Twitter don’t often get the appeal of Twitter.
This is a fact of life that many of us who are fierce advocates must resign ourselves to.
The past 12 hours have really driven home why and how much I love the forum that is Twitter.
In one thread I was having a conversation with people I’ve barely met about depression and society’s take on it. In another I was discussing the wonderful awfulness that is Hillary Duff. In the background I was exchanging messages with a woman that I’ve never met about things that I haven’t ever really told anyone.
The community that has built up around the Twitterverse has proven time and time again how supportive and caring they are.
I wouldn’t trade these guys for the world.
As my friend @462Studio says: “We don’t all agree, but you guys are awesome just the same.”
the hilary duff bonding made my world a better place for the last 24 hours. i’ve lived in this town for 12 years. i used to think that i knew everyone worth knowing- and then i found twitter and realized how wrong i was. i’ve met some of the best people i’ve ever met in the last year. it has been an incredible revelation!

Yay indeed :)
Three years ago I never would have imagined being so close to people I’ve never met in real life :P
