You know, I was really dubious about joining too, but so far it's not like what I expected at all - it's much better. I have it set up as a gadget on the sidebar of my computer and throughout the day now and then a new little message silently appears from whoever decided to "tweet". I don't have to click on it to read the whole thing if I don't want to, it's quite unobtrusive. And if I find anyone who is annoying or "tweets" too much I simply stop following them and they disappear. You only follow who you choose. I've already found out about a couple of sales from some of my coupon-hound friends, was encouraged to check out a very cool forum by an Entrecarder (there's quite a few Entrecarders on it), and got breaking news from CNN on it. But it really barely takes up any of my time, which surprised me. It's fun to see what people are doing. My fave person that I'm following so far is MountainWoman 'cause I get to read her "tweet" about stuff like going to her barn, her dogs laying by the fire, and her Mountain Man making her dinner. It's fun! But I will definitely do a follow up post in a few weeks when I've had more time to use it. But so far, it's fun, not annoying, and doesn't suck my time away. So far.Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01747445293077378146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-4311936721596836502008-11-19T03:57:00.000-05:002008-11-19T03:57:00.000-05:00have fun! i think it sounds like fun, so let me know what you think. keep us posted?glitzenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07408489334020626681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-71944319186549090482008-11-18T23:45:00.000-05:002008-11-18T23:45:00.000-05:00I thought Twitter was mainly for people who want to read blogs and network with cell phones. That's mainly why I never joined. But, I don't know what I'd do with another social network now either.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06774385463320319572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-43590322179075326372008-11-18T21:08:00.000-05:002008-11-18T21:08:00.000-05:00I just joined recently my self.Mike Golchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14472496241893921107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-83380542554523898432008-11-18T19:44:00.000-05:002008-11-18T19:44:00.000-05:00I have it, but don't use it as i should.

I love mine!Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02909538773824737674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-56927529770228253252008-11-18T11:54:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:54:00.000-05:00Been avoiding this for the same reasons.

You've been sucked in! First it's Twitter, then it's Kool-Aid! nooooo! LOL!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I've avoided Twitter like I've avoided a lot of the other microscopial bloggerish chattery stuff out there.... I'm still waiting to see if it's a good thing. From some of the twitters I've seen from others, weeeellll: I'd really rather not know about every little thought that passes through your mind, thank you very much! <BR/><BR/>But with YOU on Twitter, maybe I'll look at it again. Because I think you always have interesting things to say, and I trust your opinion. So would you be willing to gives updates from time to time on Twitter's usefulness, etc (assuming it has some)? From what I have seen so far, I haven't seen any reason to join. It also has seemed very 1984-ish, the entire idea of getting accustomed to publicizing one's thoughts, actions, etc. <BR/><BR/>So I'm still waiting in the sidelines. And I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of it and do with it. :DRebeccahttp://freakyfrugalite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-57870424523840356192008-11-18T11:19:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:19:00.000-05:00Good luck.
