Many thanks! Your blog is my blogging/twitter lifeline. @Claire - Hey there, yup, the "twit" is still grinding along at my usual glacial speed! Found the sharing of information amazing and the small bits of personal information made the environment less intimidating. Had a few laughs as well! @Dean - Thank you for the invite, Prairie Man. See, what did I say about prairie folks! Was in North Battleford 2 summers ago. I really loved the post on sharing. I share art projects, recipes and BOOKS! @Sue – I found that post – someone sent it to me and I used it to download Twhirl! Many thanks! Your blog is my blogging/twitter lifeline.

I'm glad you found Dean Shareski--he's had a real influence on how I operate. Sharing is a theme that runs through many of his posts and he really practices what he preaches! Hi Cindy,

I started to get twitter when I used a desktop application. Nowadays I use Twhirl which I've changed the settings so it slowly loads tweets onto the bottom left hand side of my desktop. (In Twhirl settings click on Notify and change enquence notifications > time to display 10 seconds). Surprisingly enough I've found over time the more people I follow the better Twitter gets. However I wouldn't recommend getting too big too soon when first using it. I also use RSS from twitter to manage it as well. Best of luck. Glad you found my post on Twitter useful.
