Originally, I despised the whole idea of Twitter. Now, I’ve got to give Twitter a big thumbs-up. Want to find out what I think its advantages are? Please pop over and visit Terry’s Place, where I’m guest blogging today.
Yes, it’s a teaser. :) They’re very useful on Twitter, too—and a great way to drum up blog traffic.

Thanks for being my guest. And for another look at social networking, check out the Doonesbury cartoon at the end of my blog on Monday.
The other extreme, perhaps. I confess I didn't fully understand all the terminology!
I'm with you. I don't understand all the terminology either. It's like learning another language. But we must to keep up.
Oh goody - I'll have to tweet this! ;)

Hey, Elizabeth! You pretty much have me convinced. Right now I'm not sure as to the time factor, and since I'm not published/in submission, I might wait for a little while longer. Then again, I guess I am supposed to be building my platform... thanks!
Very helpful information. Thanks for breaking it all down for us. Now I just need to learn how to use the technology. :-)
okey, I'm heading over there.

Terry--Thanks so much for having me!
Mason--Once the initial hurdle is over, Twitter is pretty easy to use.
Marvin--Oh, Tweet! :)
Kristen--Let me know when you join up so I can follow you!
Maryann--It took me about 3 days of light usage (15 minute sessions) to feel comfortable with it.
Karen--Thanks!
Well that was my next stop anyway. I can hardly wait to type this and get over there because I just plain don't "get" Twitter at all!
There might be a time when I give in and start tweeting. I'll keep your post in mind.
Crystal--I had to play around with it a lot. And I sent out some tweets that didn't work (I did an @ reply instead of an RT @, etc.) It takes a little practice.
Tara--Let me know if you sign up and I'll follow you!
I'm still not sure about Twitter so I have to go find out why you give it a thumbs-up.
Jane--I know we got on Twitter at about the same time. It's only been in the last couple of months that I've really hit my stride there.
I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I have found it great for finding useful links from other writers. Heading over to Terry's blog now!

Elspeth--Thanks!
I'm heading over. Twitter is a big toss up for me. I am still debating.
Tamika--Thanks!
I still haven't brought myself to make the Twitter leap. But I will zip over to your other blog and maybe be persuaded.
I'll tweet to that.

David and Stephen--Thanks for popping by!
I was against Twitter, but am converted. I have found so many new supporters and resources through the network.
I will go look, as I've not figured them out since I joined a year ago.
I haven't ever Twittered (?) before. I did read your post on Terry Odell's site. After reading the many uses of Twitter, I'm going to give it a try. thanks!
Glynis--Another convert like me! Yes, the resources are fantastic there.
Diane--It wasn't easy for me to get into, but I'm glad I have.
Judy--Good luck with it! Give yourself a few days to a week to get used to it. And let me know your address for Twitter when you get one and I'll be sure to follow you!
