Not so much. Do I post which <a rel="follow" href="http://www.gamelink.com/display_category.jhtml?id=cat18&typeFilters=7" rel="nofollow">adult dvd</a> I'm watching? No, not that. I do occasionally like reading about what others have eaten. Shrimp cocktail? Oh, great idea. I haven't had that in a while. I think I'll have some. What's wrong with that? Do I post what I'm eating?

Twitter has grown even more on me (in a big way!) since I wrote this post. I also noticed that it does take time to really get into. I love finding the random pieces of information too - quotes, links, people - never a dull moment! The best part for me has been actually making "real life" friends - meeting people I've interacted with on Twitter in person. That's never happened on Facebook for me, but Facebook is great for seeing more sides of a person and keeping up with old friends. Facebook, blogs and Twitter definitely compliment each other, as you said :D TB – It’s funny that you mention that. Twitter has grown even more on me (in a big way!) since I wrote this post.

I've found some random pieces of information on twitter that I'd have never seen otherwise - that's enough for me. It's definitely a compliment to facebook not a competitor.

You are the third person who has loved Twitter that I know...so I will try it! I haven't yet because I was afraid it would suck more time away from me than the computer already does. But you're so convincing, Jenny B! Love ya! Okay, okay! You are the third person who has loved Twitter that I know…so I will try it!
