If you’ve been to my site today you’ll notice a new color scheme going on. Hopefully you’ll like it. You’ll also notice I moved my twitter updates from the bottom of the page to the top of my sidebar. I’ve been a Twitter’er for almost two years now, but I’m just recently getting into it as it seems everyone else is now using it too. And it’s much more fun when there’s a lot of people to tweet with. It’s coined as “Microblogging” at times because it’s essentially 140 character-count blog entries. I’m proud I can converse in such small tidbits.
However – it’s also very weird. And I’m very aware of that. I look at those updates and think, “Um. If someone doesn’t use twitter, that just looks plain weird.”
So – just a rundown. If you see an @SOINSO @SOANDSO (duh) in the message, that means I’m replying to someone. If you use that syntax your reply shows up in their updates. If you want to see who I’m replying to, click the time stamp of the tweet and it will take you to a screen that provides a link to that person’s Twitter page. And please, if you use twitter, follow me and I’ll reciprocate. But – if I don’t? Email me to remind me. Sometimes the Twitter Following notices get shoved off with the spam and I miss them.
Love the new colors!
So glad you’re tweeting again. It gets so addicting.
Uhm – I now feel hopelessly out of fashion. I don’t twitter, and I just tried to follow your instructions and what I read still made absolutely no sense to me. Oh well, I don’t need something else to suck up more time anyway.
Oh I love it. And, I was so excited to get a update from Twitter to say you’re following me back. YAY.
I joined twitter forever ago and didn’t use it. Recently people started adding me even though I never updated, so I’m back and completely addicted!
Ooooh pretty. I love green. It is my current favorite color. Oh, and happy Twittering!
I joined Twitter more than a year ago (the only thing for which I was an “early adopter”), didn’t use it for months, twittered obsessively, and have abandoned it lately. I use it mainly to text people, or send a quick message I’m too lazy to email. I can never think of anything witty to say in under 140 characters.
I am following you… be scared.. very very scared LOL
I’m nursie over there… just so ya know.
I like the new colors too.
Ditto what Jamie said.

I have had a few friends join twitter, so I joined. I am still getting used to it. Okay I have used it only once…..maybe twice.
I just joined the twitter phenom.
Looks cool
I got the email that you were following me earlier today an I was all excited 
Oh, I love the new colors. And the new tweet location.
Okay I think I have figured it out…I am following you now why does that sound like stalking??
Love the new colors. I tweet sporadically and follow you – just wish there were more hours in the day.

Honestly I haven’t quite figured out why Twitter is a good thing. I’m still trying to get it. Maybe playing with you will help me see the light.
Is the Twitter on your site a plug in? It is really nice on your site.
it’s soinso? I always thought it was soandso. Wow! Thanks for clearing that up. I’m so embarassed I’ve been using it wrong so long!
I twitter a lot, I actually follow you on Twitter.
I think of it as mass texting in some ways, and I feel a little guilty about using it. Why does anyone care that I just saw a woman in turquoise reebok princess hightops and black acid wash peg leg jeans walk into Walgreens in 2008 and I almost passed out? It’s probably just me but I’m convinced that all of my other friends want to be aware of what I’m doing Every Minute of Every Day.
(My usage picked up when I got my SideKick.)
I use Twitter too. I keep forgetting about it though and neglecting it. I’ve added you. My name is deathbyduckie.
Hey, thanks for folllowing me back on twitter! I’m annettek over there. I really need to merge my real life and my anon blog…or maybe not.
I’ve been following you on Twitter for a couple of weeks. I haven’t seen a response so I don’t think you are following me.
Sigh. I am no longer a cool kid.
I do love the new look and once I get my computer back I will be a twitter-ing fool.
