Excuse me sir, Do you Tweet?

With the whole emergence of social media years ago and the exodus from blogging to social platforms I was skeptical. I mean I always figured that if everyone was doing it then if probably wasn't of God and for the most part I sorta still believe that. So for that reason I was very slow to check out Facebook and Twitter.

When we returned to Croatia and left Cody in the States I signed up for Facebook so I could keep up with Cody and see photos of the parts of his life I was missing. After becoming totally enveloped in Facebook and finding out far more about my friends than I wanted to know I eventually gave it up, albeit difficult. Oh yea and by then Cody had stopped posting anything on FB.

I tried Twitter but totally couldn't understand the whole premise of the thing and so I left Twitville. The other night I'm lying in bed next to Johnny and he's messaging Cody back and forth on Twitter. WHAT? He was talking to my kid! I totally wanted some of that. Now, while I'm still a Tweeter in training I'm officially tweeting my little head off. I still don't understand how it all works but I'm giving it a try. I talked to my kid last night and told him that I couldn't wait to see him via Twitter. So it's sorta useful.

The thing I like about Twitter that I didn't like about FB was that it's not as interactive. I can't go and spend time looking at someone else's business. Okay to a degree but it's not the same at least that's where I'm sitting at the moment.

So while we still have a FB page for our family that folks can LIKE and get updates I don't have a personal FB page anymore but I do have a Twitter page! The truth of the matter and this post is that I'm friendless. Yes, friendless I tell you. I'm on Twitter and I have very few friends. So if you're on Twitter, I wanna be friends. So let me know your handle or user or whatever it's called and we can be buddies.

APOLOGY: Sorry for the shameless plug for Twitter friends. I'm ashamed! No, I'm not really!
