I just found this really cool new thing called Twitter. Bet a lot of you do not know about it yet, but it's the going to be the hottest thing in social networking. So, check out my Twitter website and listen to me tweeting! |

I have a twitter account. I don't use it thought. My status has been set to "Still waiting..." for months now. I keep meaning to change it. |

Absolutely no. It's in the same vein as facebook etc. it's for youngsters and kids under 30 and celebrity has-beens on the C list...... |

No facebook here either, My family doesn't use It and the web they use mainly for email, Nothing else I think, But If I want to get in touch, There's always the phone. |

No, just no. second Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Not a blog person. I don't see why the world should know everything about me anyways. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Ditto to the others. Social networking the traditional ways, and keeping cousins, etc, at arms length is the way. I have no Twitter or Facebook accounts. TM there is little interest. So, maybe a little exploration another time, when I can make the time? Go away, I was asleep |

Twitter...I barely keep up my free website and haven't been to MySpace in forever, rarely live on Skype or YAHOO Messenger. Most of the folks I want to see are on one of the project boards or I use the phone. Must be gettin' old. 8-] But that can't be right cause "If It's to LOUD YER to OLD!" PEACE or Pistols...Yer Choice ;-} |

To be fair I think that these social networking sites are more of a generational phenomena than anything else. But like ES99, if it happens to suit you and your lifestyle then great, you can't knock it. Personally I prefer to use Skype, or private forums to keep in touch with my friends, but that's my choice. I can still enjoy a good chinwag down the phone, and it costs me very little as I have a BT Home hub, hubphone, and Broadband talk. For £6 a month on top of the usual line rental and broadband service charge, I get free UK calls 24/7 and international calls to USA, Canada, Australia etc at 1.25p/minute. South America is 2p/minute. Don't drink water, that's the stuff that rusts pipes |

Ditto to the others. I happen to really like all my cousins and my family. But none of them are in London and most of them are in Canada, so facebook makes sense. I can keep up with who's had how many babies and see all the pictures. I've also caught up with loads of old school friends through facebook and can stay in touch with people I used to work with. |

I've also caught up with loads of old school friends through facebook and can stay in touch with people I used to work with. I thought the Friends Reunited web site was the one to get in touch with old friends from primary school, the little school, secondary school, University and the myriad places you may have worked. I must admit to joining it years ago, and occasionally look in to see the changes. But, I think that network is past it's sell by date? Go away, I was asleep |

Darn, I can't find the Chris Farley sketch about that. |

The only messages I got from there were from fellow students I barely remembered messaging me and apologising for being such jerks at school. Still, it's nice to know their lives are back on track now they're out of jail. |
