Hi Lois, what a great blog! I will need to be more open to all social media.

Seems like Twitter is reaching its saturation point. The signal-to-noise ratio seems awfully low.

I know some people who think Twitter is stupid…I personally enjoy the people I’ve connected with there!

Thank you for linking up at The Sweetest Petunia – I appreciate it!

I’m very familiar with these 3 comments because I said the exact same thing in the beginning. Quite honestly I didn’t like Twitter a lot.
Now, a few months later, I’m so glad I didn’t give up on the platform. It’s amazing how it enables one to build relationships with people you would probably never meet otherwise. It also enables me to learn a great deal every day.
Great post. I liked it

My whole family doesn’t get Twitter but I don’t mind! I tweeted crazy and found others just like me! Now I don’t explain Twitter…you either get it or you don’t and if you don’t you are missing out!! I promote my blog through twitter with great success! I love Twitter thanks to all my friends!

Twitter is a tool, not a goal. You have to have a reason to tweet when you come to Twitter, or you will leave. It’s not a matter of quitting.

I know the first time I came to Twitter I left. Then, I decided to use Twitter to promote my blog, so I came back. My use of Twitter has shifted. I tweet too much, so I blog less. Ouch! But, Twitter becomes about the people you find who share your interests and don’t run away from your opinions, because of the value you add. I meet many of my followers in person, so no, you are not talking to yourself.

Well thanks for commenting here on “Joy”. Sorry about the “cross-legged” challenge…and I was going to invite you to my yoga class!

You are on my power list too.

It’s always hard for me to find a minute to really dig into a social media vehicle like Twitter (unless I do it while I’m driving and THAT’s not an option!) … but I just culled my small-but-important group of follows down to a “power list” and I have renewed energy for harnessing the power of tweeting. Lois, you are absolutely in my “power list!” PS and thanks for inquiring – my knee is great for everything except sitting cross-legged on the floor, which I’m thrilled about!
