I’m also introverted and anti-social. Only in the last couple of months have I seen the value of social networking sites. My favorite right now is Twitter. When I first signed up for it, I didn’t get it at all and ignored it for a couple of months. While it is a great networking and blog promotion tool, I also find that who you follow is very important – by following leaders in the tech and blogging community there is so much that can be learned. I really hope Twitter works out it’s problems – it’s been frustrating to use it recently and I would really miss it if it was gone – it is SO addicting.

I have profiles scattered all over the web and find it difficult to keep up with all of them. My favorites right now, other than twitter, and the one’s I’ve been using the longest – flickr and last fm. I recently started fully using google reader for rss feeds and I really like the shared items option. I am late in joining facebook and so far I don’t care for it – there’s too much there and I think the site is too slow to make using it enjoyable. I also use friendfeed but I have mixed feelings about it – I like seeing what other’s are sharing and linking to but the interface is limiting and there is just too much going on to keep up with it.

Anyway, enough of my rambles. Thanks for the post.

I’d like to add you on LinkedIn. But I can’t, since I’m not in your direct network. Could you perhaps add me?

Rosies last blog post..Twittoholic? Me?

I found a lot of the people I follow here: http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/the-ultimate-list-of-moms-on-twitter/
I went a little crazy and went through the whole list and all th comments plus subscribed to get emails as new comments are added.

The main benefits of Twitter for me are that I can just have a place to vent(but remember this is totally public) and also I can start to market myself, my services, and my websites. I fully intend to build a career online. Ultimately you get out of it what you put into it and it depends on what your purpose is. I like both the networking and the relational aspects so it works quite well for me.

Thanks for asking!

And I’m with you on being a recluse. If it wasn’t for the hubby and kids, I’d probably never talk face to face with another living human being. Well, not most days anyway.

I am really enjoying twitter right now, but I would also like to figure out a why to be more coherent with my online persona and maintain some privacy for my family. Is that even possible? We’ll see. Thanks for the twitter invite.
