Tweets and Talk Radio


Am I doing it wrong? I listen to all sorts of talk radio. From liberal to conservative; from sports to music; on am and fm. Talk radio is a form of social media yet I've NEVER called in to a show. I've been tempted, but ultimately I'm just a listener. Long time listener, no time caller.

The same holds true for Twitter. I opened an account and have been following a few individuals and corporate entities. I barely tweet myself. So am I being anti-social in the world of social media? I don't think so. If listening is an underutilized skill, I think I'm just honing my listening skills. In the process I'm entertained and learn a few things. I hope someone "hears" this and comments.
