I began to feel like the people who wrote the following objections:

Read the answers of Michael Hyatt, the CEO of Thomas Nelson publishers. Here is Hyatt’s post with his answers to these objections.

1. “Twitter sounds silly.”
2. “I don’t understand how to do it.”
3. “It think it would take too much time.”
4. “It is too narcissistic or self-centered.”
5. “I prefer Facebook or some other social media service.”
6. “It is a poor substitute for real relationships.”
7. “I don’t have anything interesting to say.”
8. “I am concerned about my privacy.”
9. “I don’t see how it could help my business.”
10. “I don’t know how to get started.”

And here I am in the 21st century, feeling like Alice who has just fallen down a rabbit hole. What a strange new world this is.
