Tackle It Tuesday - Twitter

Okay, TWITTER does NOT count as housework. Or anything even remotely close to it, I KNOW.

Nonetheless, my task for today was to sign up for Twitter.

Yes. I KNOW. It’s Twitter.

I had said I wasn’t going to sign up for Twitter. It was goofy, silly, trivial. I mean, do y’all really need to know I’m mopping the kitchen floor? (Besides, I’m not.. not right now, though it seriously needs to be done. Perhaps I should do that instead.)

However… while chatting with some new bloggy peoples at Robin’s party, it was pointed out how beneficial Twitter can be for networking with other bloggy peoples.

I hadn’t thought of it that way.

They have a point. I suppose.

So Now I Am On Twitter. There’s a big collective bloggy rolling of the eyes, I’m sure. I mean, I’M trying not to roll my eyes. I’m sure after a while I’ll get into it and enjoy it. I’m sure. Yeah.

So if you already Twitter you can follow me in my novice attempt at Twittering and networking. I promise not to post anything about me clipping my toenails or bathing my cats. Deal?

If you don’t have a clue what in the world Twitter even is.. the Twitter FAQ page can help explain that a little bit better.

SO.

Do YOU Twitter? Why? Or Why Not?

Tackle It Tuesday is hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom! (Who by the way, is ALSO on Twitter.)

I just started Twittering, too. I started for the networking and teaching stuff, but I keep doing it for the momma bloggers. :) I have found out about some great opportunities via Twitter. I also like getting to know people beyond their blogs.

I’m @tag156.

Just started Twittering. Haven’t completely figured it out yet myself. I’ll follow ya!

I’m tackling muddy laundry today. Come see why! :)

I haven’t really looked into Twitter too much. It seems to me that it might take up a lot of time I just don’t have. Maybe I’ll get into it someday…

I dont twitter. I have no time but I understand that all the “in” people twitter! LOL

What a pleasure it was to “meet” you at the blog chat party the other night!

As for twitter, I wasn’t sure about it at first either but it is coming slowly! Welcome! ;-)

I’m glad you’re twittering. I felt the same way about it, “who really cares what I’m doing,” but it really is a good networking thing and a good way to stay in touch. So, there you go. Let’s Twitter! Kinda fun!

Hi there from a fellow “twitterer”. There are *so many* social networks these days that the sheer volume of them makes my eyes cross! I actually prefer to plurk (www.plurk.com) but WARNING! Its addictive!!!

Check out my post where I attempted to build a deck box. By myself. With two kids.
Mommy Always Wins

*eyes rolling* :D

I’ve never tried it, but I just might, since everyone seems to like it so much!

I think not. At least for now… I’m still trying to figure out how to change the background on my blog. :P Or trimming toenails or bathing cats…. well, I guess I don’t have cats but I do have four children…

Ha! I knew we would suck you in sooner or later. Welcome to the madness!

It took me about a month to really “get it”, but now I am a full blown addict.

Thanks for following, by the way! See you in Twitterville!

Totally been twittering since May! I love it and I think you will too! Great tackle!

At this point I’m blogging (inconsistently), homeschooling (ditto), MySpacing (I have teenagers ya know), digiscrapping (thanks for that photo link, btw!), LiveMessenger’ing…..
Should I also be Twittering? Oh my, I have worn the bumps off my F and J keys as it is… lol

:D

I LOVE Twitter - well, not the service outages and stuff, but the general concept. It’s yet another great tool to keep in touch with folks who matter.

BTW, when you get a follow notification from someone named “writteninc”, that’ll be me. Poor Robin already knows about my addiction to Twitter!
