TBD

TBD on Ning

Just curious...how do you use it? Does it add something to your internet social experience? Or just something new and different...not that new I guess, but relatively so.

I use the internet quite a bit for my job and am reasonably savy with the  programs and applications but I use, but social media not so much.

i'm more of a woofer myself 

There is a comedian I was listening to and she called it twatting..made me laugh!

I'm missing the point too...that's why I was asking...it's not just me then...

Nope, I'm not a twit.....

Not a tweeter.  I have an account, but I just don't get it.  Pinterest is another one where I don't understand the value of it.

 

It seems that twitter people need to comment publically on what they are seeing or hearing. I went to a Bill Maher/Ann Coulter event in the city and around me were all young up and comers tweeting away.  How do they pay attention and tweet at the same time.  It's like a student who has a hand up the whole time I'm talking.  I acknowledge them and tell them to put their hands down because with their hands up, they are thinking about what they are about to say, not what I am saying.

 

Another step on the road to utter narcissism.

I can be found their I think under the say screen name as here. I use it and follow mainly a few newspapers, journalists, news sources, etc. Then if I see a lead or link to a particular story that may interest me, then may look at it.  For example I follow an author by the name of

Daniel Pink@DanielPink

"30 years ago, nearly half of 16-year-olds had a driver's license. . . . By 2010 that figure had dropped to 28%"  

I probably would not look at that bit of trivia. And the U.S. Forest Service in Florida might tweet:

National Forests, FL@NFinFlorida

Forest Service prescribed burning south of community of Orange in today.

I worked for the USFS for a awhile and follow some of the regions.

I unfollowed the Pope as he was not too interesting. Famous people acually usually have an office "tweeting" for them.

If you enter a tweet to your followers, you are only allowed 140 characters or about 14 words so if one is not prone to brevity, then it may be difficult at first. Some follow businesses, friends, politicians, celebrities, radio, tv news sources, etc.

The only people I know who twitter follow celebrities which seems kind of creepy except I assume it's for publicity....so it's kinda like a group text I guess...

No, I don't get it either, I tried but there was no one I wanted to follow.

I've had an account for a while too and just don't get it. Now all you hear on TV is "hashtag" blah blah blah. I didn't get twitter before so that stuff throws me off more.
