Rita,

Everywhere I turn today, people are tweating and twittering. I feel very left out.

Rita,

Thanks for all the tips but I just don't get it with Twitter. I'll check out these links on your blog and maybe that can get me started.

Rita, Here's a question...is Twitter as much fun as it was before the local news channel and everybody else started Twittering? It's not quite as exciting for me as it once was...so I got in there today and unfollowed a lot of folks that were clogging my Twitter stream. I'm still following over 400 people. NEVER, EVER thought I get to that many.

Marianne - I have actually created a new account that doesnt' even mention real estate. I was getting hostility towards even mentioning RE! One of our local news channels is doing a GREAT job on Twitter. And just like you I am now very selective of who I follow :) or who follow me. You can get all tangled up in the mindless stream of tweets. No point in that IMO.

After my post yesterday on Twitter, I guess that I need to get with the program. Too much to learn but so little time...

Rita, thanks for affirming my thoughts. I actually was kind of concerned that I'd alienate folks by unfollowing. So what's the other ID? I'll need to follow that one, too.
