Everyone is picking on me!!!! Today I admitted to being a fan and now an active Twitterer. People keep asking me if I am following Ashton Kuttcherr and Ellen Degenerous … obviously not!!! I can’t even spell their names let alone find them!
I first encountered Twitter last May while I was on the Apple Bus Tour . When visiting Point England School the eLearning Facilitator, Dorothy Burt, mentioned that she Twittered. I of course, being thoroughly amped with the tour, joined straight away … now what? I didn’t know who, what or where to follow. I couldn’t even understand half the text language being used???
Thankfully I have now had some timely advice from a few ePals and have gathered together several worthwhile people to follow (is there a name for for that? followees? peeps? friends? the stalked?)
Please tell me … how do I keep up without being biologically wired to my MacBook??!!
RSS! Use it as much as you can – set up your rss reader with feeds to pull in changes from all those other places – your Twitter friends feed, comments feeds as well as blog post feeds so you don’t have to keep going back to check on a conversation, Delicious subscriptions, Facebook friends feed etc. Organise/priotise those feeds in your reader. Then don’t feel bad if sometimes you just have to hit “Mark all as read” 🙂
