I did a similar post last month about my Kobob eReader, which I have come to enjoy...and am on Facebook but do not tweet. I'm definitely a fan of blogging and other social media sites, but find they offer stress as well as enjoyment...how does one keep up to date with comments, replies and emails!?! I always feel a step or two behind.<br /><br />Do keep us posted on how the tweeting goes, and have great fun with it...:)<br /><br />Lynette<br />Imagination LaneLynette Killamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747902602019771481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-44414047578285790662011-03-09T13:43:14.308+00:002011-03-09T13:43:14.308+00:00Oh, I may be a Luddite too.

I had to become member to see his photos !<br />Suddenly hundres of people wanted to become my friend ! I turned it private and go there once in a blue moon. But there was two things very positive ! A Finish friend who had lived in Waterloo and lost my address found me through Facebook and the daughter of the one and only cousin of Mr.G from Italy !! I also got into contact with friends of my son who now, proudly showed me their children ! that was really cute. They had never forgotten my birthday parties, lol ! One is living also in Finland and one in Canada. So Facebook has its pro and cons !<br />At least we are modern women and not old grandmas !!Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-79998318460167921282011-03-08T22:46:44.728+00:002011-03-08T22:46:44.728+00:00Mummy started to tweet.

I am on facebook, hen came off as it was filled with people who were work colleagues and not really friends and I didn't want them seeing pictures of me in the pub etc posted by other people-infact that is why I don't like it really as people can do that. Now I am on it again but don't use it and have three friends! I went on Twitter for about three days then off again thinking 'why?' I sometimes think of going back and putting thoughts about my teaching day-but they would not always be nice and I don't want to lose my job! I joined tumblr the other day but don't really get it! Another dormant account-oh-and then there is myspace! Oh dear! Good luck with your twittering!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-75384356925191564042011-03-08T20:18:08.969+00:002011-03-08T20:18:08.969+00:00I was so taken in by this discussion about twitter...I was so taken in by this discussion about twitter, I forgot to tell u ..Thanks so much for your wishes on my birthday. <br />I was missing my father n while going through some old snaps, came up with that one I'd posted.

And it's doubly interesting because I just read an article about where Luddite comes from (Smithsonian's current issue.) <br /><br />Anyway, I like Facebook for its ability to facilitate connections (ie planning old school reunions, getting the word out about poetry, etc.) I don't trust it, but I like it.<br /><br />As for Twitter, I have an account which I read, but seldom 'tweet'. Maybe I should start doing so?<br /><br />Finally - I'm sorry your dog is an epileptic. I hope the pup stays as healthy as possible. ☼RJ Clarkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018296461199649445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-37931475127078541292011-03-08T18:42:38.564+00:002011-03-08T18:42:38.564+00:00I don't tweet.

Apologies for not being very social on it! Tweeting doesn't appeal to me at all, but I suppose there is a use for it: with so many new ideas about for communicating, there is <br />something for everyone. I like the centered feeling of<br />blogging and that, in its way, demands more time that<br />can be devoted to creatively making much in little!Margaret Gosden https://www.blogger.com/profile/00253407541215420119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-51798147489379741292011-03-08T18:10:24.187+00:002011-03-08T18:10:24.187+00:00I tweeted, momentarily, until I was the topic of l...I tweeted, momentarily, until I was the topic of local abuse by people who believed I'd let my ego get the best of me. <br /><br />Now the only thing I tweet is the URL to my latest blog post.

It's more like a "Hi there" sort of thing and not the place to really talk.
