One sweet tweet

Tweet me. No, I’m not cursing at you, I’m encouraging you to log on to www.twitter.com and add “OkHeather” to the list of people you’re following. Then, send out 140 character messages about what you’re doing, where you’re eating, what you’re interested in or what’s going on in your business.

While you’re at it, snap a pic and post it as a “twitpic” along with your tweet.

Twitter is all the rage these days. Oprah, Ellen, Ashton, Demi, Shaq, you name it, everyone’s doing it. You can follow “Newsok” and “Tulsaworld” for the latest news stories, your friends for the latest gossip and celebrities who compete for the most followers.

I’ve found great story leads, met some really interesting people and even gotten coupon codes for free movie rentals on Twitter.

Recently, I heard about Stephanie Sullivan and Greg Rewis (“stefsull” and “garazi”). Greg actually proposed to Stephanie on Twitter.

Their Twitterposal even made it to The Oprah Winfrey Show.

The two had been carrying on a long distance relationship. Both self-proclaimed “computer geeks,” the couple stayed in touch via instant messaging, Skype, Twitter and old-fashioned text messaging.

“It’s the geek marquis. It’s the geek times square. I thought it was the most romantic thing ever,” Stephanie said about the Twitterposal.

Greg describes Twitter as “the ability to carry around your closest friends with you throughout your entire day.”

I have yet to take my tweeting to that level but today, while checking my tweets on Twitter, I noticed that two of my “followers” have voted for me as a “Hot Tweeter.” So, whoever you are, thanks! But, no Twitterposals, please. I’m a married woman.
