After much kicking and screaming, I've given in and am now tweeting voraciously, so please feel free to join me and follow my every waking move @LoriPerkinsRR. You'll know when I get up and when I go to sleep, and what I've had for dinner and what I watch on TV. Nothing is sacred.
It's an amazing social networking world.
Its funny. I've been on Facebook for over a year, and on Twitter for less than a week, and they are very different mediums.
I love Facebook, because it's like short articles, you can attach websites with a brief photo, and my "friends" bios are so much more insightful. It's also much easier to find people by their real names on Facebook. And I like the comment and "like" features of Facebook to comment on something one of my friends wrote. There's no way to do that on Twitter - you have to retweet.
Twitter is great for fast news, notes and ideas, as well as reactions to news, notes and ideas. It's like a constant IM conversation with the people I want to hear from.
But all this social networking leaves me even less time to blog.
And I haven't written in my journal in weeks.

I joined Twitter a few months ago, but I don't really care about what other people ate for breakfast, so I don't tell what _I_ had. Makess for a really thin Twitter-stream. :(
I do use it a little more to follow other people though.
The Brave New World of voyuerism at its best. Also good if you like being voyuer-ed!
You're going to love twitter. I've been on it since it started. The news feeds are excellent and it's fast. And don't forget to re-tweet. I re-tweet everyone I think is important. You'd be surprised at how many people you get to know through re-tweeting.
I joined facebook only a month ago. I'm not ready for Twitter yet. Good luck tweeting!
Love that you've joined in the madness!

I resisted Twitter for a long time, but when I finally signed up I became addicted. It's too much fun and also a great low-pressure networking tool.
My son adjusted my settings so my tweets go directly to my Facebook page, including links to my blog updates (which I have been neglecting lately). I just have to make sure I don't make fun of my family!
I love Facebook and Twitter. I "make the rounds" daily and still manage to get to my blogs and other peoples blogs. I am a junkie!
I had fallen behind on blogs, and have spent the day catching up. Glad I did. Following you now!
That always sounds so stalkerish like.
