I am starting to warm up to twitter a little more. I still can't get the direct messages to work, my dropdown box does not list any of my peeps in it and I can't just type into the textbox. The reason I am warming up to it is that I am finding some useful places to follow. One is my daughter's school. They have a twitter account and send out school announcements. I like that.
I'm enjoying the heck out of FaceBook. I joined to keep tabs on my daughter and soon old friends started finding me. It's a great place to hit for just a little while and catch up. It could be a huge time sink if you let it though. I just have to get in and get out. I've found that using the web browser "flock" is helpful when using the social networking sites.
I've been toying with the Microsoft Office Live site as well but the real benefit is for collaberating with others and I'm having a hard time getting the "others" to move past email. I forget that everyone isn't a tech loving geek like myself. I have plenty of tech loving geek friends I just don't have a need to collaborate spreadsheets and powerpoints with them. We just get silly on FaceBook.
