Bonus points 'cause people who assumed I was dead know I'm alive now!<br /><br />NYD- I don't truly know how it works...I see people doing it-openly and furtively- everywhere! How does one keep up with all the tweets? <br />I don't have a 'text-friendly' portable device, so it's moot for me.<br /><br />JS- Followers? Is that how it works?<br /><br />BP- I agree w/ the letter thing- (I got one the other day, first one in forever), but the e-thing lets me get music from everywhere, which is cool.<br /><br />Who's That Girl?- Yeah, I prefer my cud, but FB is fun, especially if you are unemployed and lonely.<br /><br />Schlep- Yeah...I am not ideally suited for brevity and levity. But still,I got to say 'HI' to people I lost track of years ago...<br /><br />NYD- I agree with you in principal, but I'm guessing thoughtful debate and conversation is the exception on Twitter, not the rule (why should it be different than any other media)? I would imagine that , overall, it's less <i>zeitgeist </i>and more zeitgossip. <br /><br />A- I honestly don't know how you do it, but keep on!Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419026498128315319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067350.post-89540669181403532032009-06-24T11:25:12.570-04:002009-06-24T11:25:12.570-04:00Dude- you can not fuck FB up!

Of course it is much better to sit at a dinner table and discuss various topics at length, but twitter allows you to have a table that seats dozens even hundreds or thousands of folks. And just like every other advancement in technology- it has it's down side. <br /><br />I Like it!NYDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182735945473879595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067350.post-60895043060146591422009-06-24T07:56:00.028-04:002009-06-24T07:56:00.028-04:00Facebook is useful, fun even, but by common consen...Facebook is useful, fun even, but by common consent it seems you are encouraged to keep it sweet.

Facebook is really nothing more than a friend tracker. I like twitter because it is kinda cool. Its succinct format lets me blab without restriction.
