Do you "Tweet"??

I joined & I post updates a lot!

I'm there, but not often.

I've thought of it, but haven't yet.

Never heard of Tweet Twitter, until your blog.

Sounds like fun, maybe I'll give it a try.

Not interested at all!

Blast instead of blogging, that's more my style... where do I sign up? (Oh, I see the link in your blog now.)

Are you nuts?? I already have a ton of online things to check on now.

I'll leave you my own answer.

Ok... I had been tossing it back & forth whether I should join Twitter or not. I really didn't need another blogging community.

Well, I found out tonight, it's not really a blog... It's really a way to put up "blast" messages. (If you used to be (or still are) on Y!360... you'll know what I mean.) Anywhoo... I finally signed up tonight!

"Follow me" if you wish... but I will warn you, if you're someone who likes to chat... ALL your "updates" and "replies" to other "Tweeters" are public... UNLESS you set it to be private. Only problem with setting it to private... is that those who are not a "follower" of yours won't see it... so, if you're wanting to Tweet to someone not on your list... I don't think they'll see your message. I think.

Now... why is this fun & what made me start all of a sudden tonight? ... Well, I had Abrams & Bettes (The Weather Channel) on in the background a couple hours ago... & Mike Bettes was trying to set a new Virgina Tech Wind Tunnel testing record (which he did @ 133 mph!!)... & they were asking viewers to "tweet" our questions.

Well, I did & I actually got ON THE AIR!! ... Well, my user name & my question was! THAT WAS SOOOOO COOOL, I tell ya... it caught me off guard, because it was almost the end of their "show". (Can't really call that a show... but still) Anyway... guess what? I taped it! I'll have to upload it later.

Alright... another reason for this blog is because Abrams & Bettes were challenged to get 10,000 "followers" in 90 days... So, I'm here to help... If you're at all interested in Twitter (or already there) & enjoy them on The Weather Channel... so, why not follow them.

No, you won't get a ton of email... unless you set your settings wrong. Hardly any email as a matter of fact. If you join, beware...
1. it's addicting, if you're that type of a person. (LOL!)
2. you might get an odd "follower" or two... if so, just block them. (I had 2 right off the bat. I think they were spammers.)
3. It's addicting... oh, I said that already.

Another reason I joined was because I know a couple of you are already there... AND because I had been looking for something where I could just do a little quick update without having to doing any blogging. So, this ought to be interesting.

If you're REALLY into letting your friends know what you're up to... you can Tweet (that's what it's called when you post an update.) from your cell phone. I won't be doing that because I don't have unlimited messaging. If I did... I would!! ... Though I may set it up so I can tweet while on my trip... so you all know where I'm at & what's up!!

If you DON'T want to join... but you'd like to see my updates... I do believe you can still view them. I would suggest bookmarking or whatever for future reference. Fair warning... there will be times when I have lots of updates when I'm replying / tweeting to other Tweeters. I may put a link on my home page here. (If I remember. LOL)

Alright... I will be on a "polling" kick in the next few blogs... because I have a few in mind. Just another fair warning!! :o)

Oh... one more thing... off subject... there is a new Nicolas Cage movie coming out... (ON MY BIRTHDAY no less!) & it looks like another big hit... hubby won't be here & since he doesn't really like going to the theaters... I may have to get my mom to take me! It's called "KNOW1NG"... I've included a link so you can see the preview, if you haven't already.

That's it for this edition ride... Toodles & **HUGS**

EDIT: Here's how Twitter was born!!
