In our world of celebrity gazing and personal idolatry, it’s not surprising that a social networking tool such as Twitter (which feeds our appetite for immediacy) would be all the craze. If you haven’t heard by now, Twitter has officially jumped the shark and basically serves three functions for the typical user:

1.    Allows you to follow friends, strangers or celebrities (such as Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears, Shaquille O’Neal, Stephen Colbert, etc.) on a hour-to-hour, minute-to-minute basis
2.    You can build your business, organization or your personal brand by following the right people or just following an ungodly amount of people
3.    You can create an identity by posting such profound or awesome tweets that you become a legend in the Twitterverse

It sounds all very so silly, but seriously, it seems like every significant newsmaker, organization or company has a Twitter account nowadays. Before you think I’m an anti-Twitter snob, I want to come clean. I have an account, my handle is @wonki78 and I hope we can follow each other.

But here’s my point: my Twitter updates are better than yours. I hardly tweet about what I’m eating or if my coffee tastes awesome right now (if you’re wondering, it does). Most of my tweets are 140 character updates that capture what I did today, an interesting thought or a link to something cool.

I was being facetious when I said my Twitter updates are better than yours because they're not (especially if your handle is @michaelhyatt, @charitywater, @Time, @CatalystLeader, etc). But I do hope my tweets capture glimpses of a good life. Here’s why:

If you’re living a life full of great times with family, friends, faith, creativity, etc., by osmosis your tweets are going to leak some of that awesomeness. Although I don’t care if you ate a blueberry muffin this morning, I do care if you had a delicious blueberry muffin at a great café as you sipped coffee with a dear friend. That is a good life with a nice muffin to boot.

I’m also a huge fan of Twitterers who utilize Twitpic, especially if the pictures capture an awesome moment. What usually works for me are pictures of life and great living: kids smiling, sailing across the ocean, little league games, webcam shots of colleagues celebrating a birthday, a beautiful sunset or a roller coaster ride.

Truth be told, it doesn’t matter whether you’re on Twitter or not. My objective was not to talk about this social networking phenomenon, but really to turn our attention to living a life worth tweeting. So, that begs the question: “What are you doing?”
