I caved in...

So, I did it, I joined twitter. As most of you know I'm not a big fan of social media. There's some things I really enjoy about it, but there's other things that just frustrate the hell outta me with them. So my choice to start a twitter account has 2 reasons.

1. People often say to me "Dude, let me know when you're going to brew again". Well, here's the problem. I often brew somewhat last minute. I don't feel like flooding people on my blog and I just don't really ever know who to email. Don't have or want twitter? No problem. Just let me know if you want me to email you if I'm going to brew.

2. I've been noticed with the news that you get quicker responses from companies when you blast them on social sites such as twitter. Now as ridiculous as that is, it's just the way the world is. For example (about to go in a rant) we bought a new couch. The day we got it, the way that the sectional is connects the two pieces of the couch broke. I contacted the company who we bought the couch from who they put in an order to replace the part from the manufacturer, Lay-z-boy. Lay-z-boy then informed me that it will take 2 to 3 weeks. Ok, I'm sorry but you gotta be shitting me. 2 to 3 weeks for a small piece of plastic? So it's been over 3 weeks. I call back asking about it. Oh, yeah, now they tell me it's actually 3 to 4 weeks. My thoughts, post this question to twitter, get instant part.

I'll try to keep the blog to more in-depth thoughts and writings, twitter for the more A-D-D style quick stuff. I'm also on facebook as most of you know, but I don't post on there a lot. So yes, I'm a product of the crap I normally don't care for... blog, facebook, and twitter.

So, feel free to follow me on twitter @ryansbeer

On a beer note, Haven't really done much. I need to brew again here soon.

Prost!
