Does anybody TWITTER?

Easy now Bubba....

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

www.twitter.com

I find these concepts fascinating. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc...

The explosion in Social Networking in my opinion is unrivaled in growth and power capturing so many millions of people.

I know... sometimes a bit hard to justify... Between TRF - reading WSJ, hundreds of e-mails a day, Text, Cell calls etc... Might just be one too many things? Fascinating though the reach.

What do you all think - To Twitter or not To Twitter etc.....?

I'm on a strict no Twitter policy. I already feel like Facebook is stalkerish enough.

I'm on Facebook. I really enjoy it. I understand it's getting a reputation for old fogies. That would fit.

Haven't tried Twitter.

Jeannie, old fogie

Come on... We should ALL get on Twitter and see if we have some fun with it? If anybody is up for it...

If it stinks... Nothing lost except precious minutes that we probably could have been on TRF...! Anybody?

No Twitter, No Facebook, No MySpace...I figure my friends can call me. Or find me here.

I frequently overhear people tell each other "Facebook me". Is this code for "I like you at a safe distance"?

I have not twittered but do checkout Myspace to keep up with some friends. Now if we can get the young off of phone texting it would be a plus!!!
I agree with Boa2, I guess I'm old fashioned, I like using the phone or in person contact!!!
