Hello all! As Deidre mentioned, I am jumping into the Twitter pool and although, I’m a bit late in the game, my objective is to talk and connect with my peers (20-something college grads living in and around NYC) and get a pulse on what we are thinking about, dreaming about and doing online. So, here it goes…

At the end of my first week as a Twitter user, I have found that posing questions to users is more difficult than I initially suspected. Everyone is broadcasting products, highlighting news stories, promoting something, replying and re-tweeting celebrities, and getting users (even your friends) to answer a few questions about their thoughts and opinions is more daunting than expected.

Nevertheless, my lesson after Week 1 is the more active and engaged I am with other users, the more likely other users will take part in my polls. So, if you follow me, I will follow you.

My first question to users is “Thinking about my usual website rotation this morning and wondering which site you all visit most often?”

For me, it’s always: NYTimes.com for a quick look at the headlines and the Style Section on Thursdays and Sundays, Gawker.com for anything by Richard Lawson, Facebook.com to keep track of family and friends and gauge how comparatively boring and or exciting my life is at any time, and finally, NYMag.com for the television recaps and the Daily Intel. When I’m feeling especially adventurous, I’ll read Anthony Bourdain’s blog on the TravelChannel.com.

What about you?

Follow me @ NataliesPals and tell me about your morning website rotation. The poll is ongoing and I will publish the results next week.
