Do you twitter?

[Robin Carlton]

Hey chicklets...

I just stumbled across microblogging @ twitter (http://twitter.com/) and it looks like a lot of fun!! I've signed up for an account and was hoping to find more of you who are answering the question "What are you doing?".

I know a lot of us cant keep up with huge blog posts on a regular basis and this looks like a fun alternative. So check it out and hopefully we can build a twittering sweet shoppe community!!

You can view my twitter by clicking the blinkie in my sig! Hope to see a bunch of us doing it as it's such and easy way to post updates on what yer up to!

Does "visit my twitter" just sound "off" to anyone else? :D

Cool site, Robin! Not that I need another website to check! But I'd feel left out if I didn't join. :) Thanks for the enabling!

[Julie Billingsley]

I'm so techno-lame.... how did you all change the background? Did you customize something for yourself? Were there options because I didn't see them.

[MandaBean]

OK so..are all You hogs insinuating that I am conceited and rude??? No, that certainly is NOT MY Twitter..mine is much more eloquent and gentle. :) NOT!

Go to:
Settings ==> Design
and then I think you can u/l a Background Image

I think since I didn't customize mine.

[Angela Spangler]

I'm all a twitter...in my siggy...

[SaraAmarie]

Ok, I have some questions! hehe

What IS the difference between a follower and a friend? I click on the follower link on the side and it asks if I want to add the followers as friends but most of them ARE friends. When someone else adds you as a friend are they a follower till you add them too??

Here's a dumb one. Some of the messages have an @ then a user name...did you just type that or is there a way to reply to someones message publically that I'm not seeing?

And the phone thing...you can send a message from your phone? Does anything get sent TO your phone?

Ummm..I think thats all my questions. lol :D

[SaraAmarie]

Just realized that there is all you ever wanted to know about twitter in the help section!

[Robin Carlton]

haha Sara, glad you found the help section, it's pretty complete but let me know if you have any other questions and maybe we can figure them out together.

I'm loving all of the twitterers around here!! Too cool ladies!

http://twitter.com/bellbird - hope thats the right link - i think even if i'd known about Christy's lightning quick CT call, I wouldn't have got myself twittered in time LOL

[Amy H]

Ok, this is too cool! My poor blog is going to be really neglected now! LOL I'm a Mac user, so I get to use the way cool Twitterpated app!!

[Robin Carlton]

Couple of twitter reminders from your friendly neighborhood SpiderWoman!

Keep having fun but be mindful that you arent putting out any SUPER personal info, like where you live or where you're going or your email addy etc. If you want to get another scrapper your personal info like your email addy or hello/IM info, click Home in the menu at the top and and then Direct messages in the sidebar menu. Select the person's name from the drop down and type your private message so it's for their eyes only.

We are a bunch of chicklets with our kids on the internet and I am 100% comfortable with that. I just want to remind everyone to be safe and smart!

Okay back to your regularly scheduled twittering program now :D

Robin

[Julie Billingsley]

So is anyone else getting people befriending them that they don't know? I probably DO know these people in the scrap world... just want to make sure that nobody random is just saying "boy I really need to know more about that Julie"

[Aggie Aviso]

I dont have my twitter public so they need to be friends with me before they know anything Im twittering - I feel like a celebrity writing that out LOL.

Twitter is addicting!

[gyllenhaalic]

One can never be too careful on the net especially with all the whackjobs out there. We've recently had a few weirdos on my siggy making board that were using stolen pictures so copyrighting your pictures is a good idea, girls.

[twentytinytoes]

I am loving twitter! THanks for this Robin! lol I am twentytinytoes *shocker right!

[d2vasquez]

ok succumbed to Robin's excitement about this......not sure what to do but when I wake up I will read the FAQ although I was excited that Sara asked all the ? I had and was hoping to just read it here! LOL.....I am http://twitter.com/d2vasquez

[Robin Carlton]

LOL Darla... Okay here's what I think everyone should know...

Twittering is also called microblogging and it's a way to tell your friends what you're up to in 160 characters or less without all the formality and formatting, etc of long blog posts. It's easy to keep up with.

Add people as your friends and you'll be "following" them until they add you back. ie. They'll show up as a friend on YOUR twitter, but you'll show up as a follower on THEIR twitter until they add you back.

Twitter displays messages in a timeline format and will include all of your friends in that timeline display. To view it, access your main page and click the "with friends" tab and all of the messages from you and anyone you've chosen as a friend will be showed in the order they were posted.

Because of this timeline, it's almost like a giant chatroom where you can see and respond to your friends as you have the time throughout the day.

There are two ways to reply to your friends. Publicly and Privately.

To reply in public (a message you want all of your friends to see) type @username in your message posting box along with the rest of your message. The comment will be directed at that user and your post will be linked up to their twitter so people can follow along.

To reply in private (a message only the user will be able to see) visit their twitter and click the message link in their sidebar OR from your twitter, click home, then the direct messages link in your sidebar and the direct message tool will come up and you can select the username you want to send a message from in the dropdown menu and send them a message.

Other than that...twitter away and let us know if ya have any questions!

Robin
