I've got my blogs automatically twittering so mine can get a little busy. But I'm on Twitter as YanceyG. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are having fun with your worms.Yancey Granthamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854000067042228427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268585065649434701.post-84873090277259075572008-08-11T18:41:00.000-04:002008-08-11T18:41:00.000-04:00I found these cute toys:<BR/>http://www.twitterlocal.net/<BR/>And so I followed someone with my own zip code for a day. A kid probably not much older than my eldest son got on, wasn't particularly interested in anything I had to say, nicely answered my questions, and hasn't been back on twitter since.<BR/><BR/>http://search.twitter.com/<BR/>Used to be called summize.Leorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268585065649434701.post-34518398428180886462008-08-11T10:21:00.000-04:002008-08-11T10:21:00.000-04:00Quit ? Ha ! You are under the spell of the little blue bird. There's no escaping now !<BR/><BR/>All you need are the right tools.<BR/><BR/>One thing you can do on twitter is have your followers be the first know when you have a new post.<BR/>Since you are on Blogger, let me point you to <A HREF="http://twitterfeed.com/" REL="nofollow">TwitterFeed</A>. Simply add your RSS feed and it will check for updates every half hour.<BR/>WordPress users can use the <A HREF="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/" REL="nofollow">Twitter Tools</A> Plugin which will update instantly.<BR/><BR/>I've also added the "<A HREF="http://is.gd/1mO7" REL="nofollow">Shared Items</A>" feed from my GoogleRader and another feed to share <A HREF="http://is.gd/1mO9" REL="nofollow">pictures I fav on Flickr</A> on TwitterFeed.<BR/><BR/>If you find a random page on the web you'd like to share try <A HREF="http://twitthat.com/" REL="nofollow">TwitThat</A>.<BR/><BR/>If you are on a Windows or Mac, my favourite desktop app is <A HREF="http://is.gd/1mPt" REL="nofollow">TweetDeck</A>. You can sort your contacts into colums and it fetches updates from the last 48 hours. So you never have to worry about missing updates.<BR/>Linux users rather wait until AdobeAir is out of alpha.<BR/><BR/>But if you are still worried, <A HREF="http://is.gd/OhV" REL="nofollow">@steverubel has some tips on how to stay productive with social media on Lifehacker</A>.Jafferhttp://maniaravings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268585065649434701.post-42736523976017306092008-08-11T08:23:00.000-04:002008-08-11T08:23:00.000-04:00I joined twitter a few weeks ago, but don't really 'get it' yet. I'll try and remember to follow you when I get home.akghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664433067050597848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268585065649434701.post-56658402360526722008-08-11T06:05:00.000-04:002008-08-11T06:05:00.000-04:00<B>Rabbi Phyllis,</B><BR/><BR/>It's yet another gentle guilt stream... Do I reply to every tweet? If I do, am I wasting bandwidth for everyone else and perpetuating an infinite small talk conversation (like teenagers on the telephone: "You hang up first." "No, you hang up first...")<BR/><BR/>If I don't reply, is it rude?<BR/><BR/>Also, if I leave the window, it clears anything it showed before, so I'm starting to feel bad that I've lost track of replies.<BR/><BR/>Less than 12 hours into membership in this thing, and already I'm both twittering too much and feel behind in my homework, LOL!<BR/><BR/><B>Mother in Israel,</B><BR/><BR/>There are too many different streams of communication already. Not sure this won't be a big distraction. It's hard enough to keep up with blog comments and real life email. <BR/><BR/>Also, after a dozen or so 140 character tweets, I'm already noticing a tendency to write in clipped sentences.<BR/><BR/>I feel like a CB radio user, trying to adjust to using a telephone. Over.<BR/><BR/><B>Ilanadavita,</B><BR/><BR/>See, this is the problem. I'm having this conversation with myself that, if my kids tried it with me, I'd just laugh in response.<BR/><BR/>I'm telling myself, "Please, please? Can I sign up for Twitter? EVERYONE *else* is doing it? I'll be good about it and not let it interfere with anything else. I promise..."<BR/><BR/><B>Leora,</B><BR/><BR/>I can quit any time I want to. I just don't want to. Tweet, tweet. <BR/><BR/>If I do decide to quit, maybe I'll tweet about that. You know, "Thinking about tweeting but holding off..." "I haven't tweeted in three whole hours... Doh!"Juggling Frogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03572259373523756647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268585065649434701.post-2176666442222354922008-08-11T04:05:00.000-04:002008-08-11T04:05:00.000-04:00You plan to quit once you become addicted??? But isn't it already then too late?<BR/><BR/>I'm only addicted if you other folks are addicted. It's no fun twittering to yourself.Leorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268585065649434701.post-72786932397511312872008-08-11T02:24:00.000-04:002008-08-11T02:24:00.000-04:00<EM>I've started twittering.
