For some reason I’m scared of twitter, probably because I don’t understand it. Maybe one day.

Truth: I’ve been on Twitter for almost 3 years. (hey, I remember being amazed that I had 78 followers and 77 people following me… talk about the OLD days!)

Many of folks I followed then were fellow BlogHer CEs -just another way for us to connect in real time. Then slowly I’d follow their friends -and they would follow mine. Some of us have met and become good friends in real life. Others of us still plan to meet.

And for those of us working at home alone? Twitter is more like the coffee break room than the cocktail party.

And still there are days when i feel completely left out -like standing behind the potted palm at a party listening to everyone else have fun.

Oh Miz…your blog always hits a nerve with me….I had a twitter account for about a month. I started getting a bunch of email alerts that I had all these followers and it freaked me out! I gave up my account but I think I’ll be back again.
I don’t have the courage to blog because I have been working out some serious issues that relate to my weight and other stuff. I even avoid you when you push my buttons. I am back on track. Maybe I’ll write a blog one of these days.

Twitter???? I love it! That is where we have met the majority of our “friends” and yes to me they are as close if not closer than my friends in person.
The downside…if your trying to lose weight and your on your ass all day tweeting, well you know the effects of that! I have tried to limit it and get a grip on my addiction but it is sooo hard. lol
I (we) have not met 1 of our blog friends in person YET but we sure hope to soon. That will be a fun day to meet all of our BFF’s

I’m on Twitter (@tippytoediet), but I’m only there a couple times a week. Right now I’m really focusing (or trying to) on “being where my butt is”, and I can’t do that and tweet at the same time. I’m just not that coordinated.

I’ve found some good info there, but sometimes more info than I need. It can all be so…cluttered, and Lord knows I do not need more clutter in my life. ::shudder::

It will probably be winter before I set aside enough time to really figure out how I want to use it.

I am on Twitter, but I’m not obsessed with it. If I manage to check it once a day then that’s pretty good!

please to help workout triceps!
reverse sit-ups are so last week! (and boring!)
so are reverse presses! or whatever you call pushing the weights behind you!

I enjoy the backyard workouts too! Thank you for taking the time to put those together for us!

I tweet but it feels more like I’m text messaging my self! Then I look at my account and go “oh! look what I said!”

I am only a follower on Twitter. Haven’t figured out the efficient way to keep up with “stuff” without giving up quality time with family. Trying to be conscientious about internet time now, trying to prioritize, often read stuff superficially in hopes that if I see the same thing in several places, I will remember it better.

I love that SassyStephanie called me on my “Im not a big blogger” reaction

thats a different post I guess: DEFINE BIG BLOGGER? what DEFINES SUCCESS for you in the realm of blogging.

As LoriAnn said:

I hope to be one of those big time bloggers one day.

how would you know? define?

I’m avoiding twitter because I know I would love it and already need FB anonymous.

Thanks for the workout organizing for us, Miz.

I’m booking marking this…
