Social Networking and Twitter

This week we learned more about social networking and twitter.  It was a good week as I have lots of experience with Facebook (FB from now on) - a social networking tool but no experience with Twitter.  One of two ain't bad (and now I have Meatloaf's Two of out Three Ain't bad song in my head .... anywhooo).  It was good to learn more about FB and some alternatives.  I was particularly interested in the 100 Things to Watch in 2011 slideshow.  In fact, I thought others too would be interested so I posted the link to my FB status ... what goes around comes around.

Twitter is a different beast .... I know of it but have never seen it in action.  While at a conference a few weeks ago, I heard the presenters talk about how their sessions were being followed on Twitter and they gave out the hash tags ... but this really meant nothing to me at the time.  Now that I've signed-up to Twitter and subscribe/follow a few people ... I can see how it works.  I'm still trying to understand all the Twitter lingo but that will come.  At the moment I am just following favorite celebrities and Canadian politicians (I guess celebrities in their own minds).  Will I Tweet .... not sure ... need to get into it a bit deeper.
