 A note to my Twitter friends:

I tried to send you guys several messages from a wireless laptop via Twitter.

None of these messages showed up on any of your Twitter profiles and oddly enough all of my old messages to you have appeared to disappear.  Had Twitter indicated there was a problem, I wouldn't have wasted time bothering with the messages at all.

Don't look now, but I may be writing a review about Twitter when I get home and it may be a mixed review.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I'm really enjoying "Spring Break" in L.A.

I actually like Twitter too, probably more than most people may realize because a lot of times I'll pop in during the day just to read messages and see what's happening.  I've "met" some neat people like Darren (the Magician) and his friend Kristy.

My complaint all along is that it could be addictive if you are in it too much during the day but that is true of anything.  Moderation in all things and we will be fine.

I agree with you 100% about twitter!  I joined twitter, but I think it's a silly website.  Who really reads anyone's tweets?!  I keep getting these messages to sell stuff on twitter.  That's not for me.  lol  I do like facebook much better, even though they have "bugs" to work out also.  Good review AnnaBanana!  :  )

Facebook is enough for me. I have had members ask me to join Twitter, but I think I spend enough time online already.

When I first signed up for Twitter, it was so confusing to me. Ask Gigi. But then I got used to it. I think it is a great place to "text message" friends but it's not worth it if you don't know anyone. To me, it's kinda like text messaging because you can only post a limited amount of characters per message.

I think you are referring to DM (Direct message). I think only you and the person you send it to can see it.

Holy smokes!  This thread really has whiskers on it, I didn't even know people were still responding but I'm glad to see all the posts.  When I complained about the Twitter messages disappearing, they weren't direct messages but regular posts.  It appears that there was something temporarily wrong for a couple days at that time. 

I think Twitter has made great strides improving the tech stuff.  I still take pains not to get addicted to it though.  Thanks for your input, nice to hear from you!

I'm young and I don't "tweet"! VERY stupid to me, no reason at all to have or want to do Twitter here...
