However, when I joined FB, many years ago, I joined a group called "am I the oldest on Facebook?" and I was the oldest in that group. It has changed since then, of course, but I do enjoy being there.Bev Sykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794928133704720689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-5699862292888176702011-10-27T20:25:09.212-04:002011-10-27T20:25:09.212-04:00I absolutely love the way you write!

TMI overload, in my opinion. I just don't understand it enough. <br />I signed up to Twitter recently and immediately got 10 followers - I guess all eager to receive my super amazing tweets. <br />They have since stopped following me, cos it dawned on them that I must be pretty boring. I rarely tweet, you see.The GlobeTrotting Exechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606480405674541077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-44153399024542000702011-10-27T15:17:04.039-04:002011-10-27T15:17:04.039-04:00I am with you on this one Cranky.

Otherwise it's probably none of their business.<br /><br />The Tweets- A lot of them are crap. Other than like you said, an occasional tweet to inform a group all at once, not so bad. But Tweeting about going to the bathroom, drinking a beer or farting, like anyone wanted or needed to know?

I'm with you, and everyone here. I...Yes indeed. I'm with you, and everyone here. I like blogging, I like my personal FB account (although that is now over-run with status updates from all the FB pages I had to "like" through blogging.... I do have Twitter for myself and twitter for my baking blog. I don't have Pinterest. I refuse to get sucked into one more thing! <br /><br />I think your friends might be sort of right.

It's alll about how many followers you have! :) Isn't that sad? :)Nicole Pyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920135146911951755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18091160969995340032011-10-26T17:15:30.616-04:002011-10-26T17:15:30.616-04:00i exploded into laughter at the pabst blue ribbon ...i exploded into laughter at the pabst blue ribbon comment. ohhhhh my goodness, i'm cracking up!<br /><br />but that's so true. people tweet about a lot of nothingness, which is why even i am rarely on twitter. and you know how much i love to talk, cranky. :)<br /><br />-ronettaRCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228460001319479150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-24950978074541299572011-10-26T17:06:41.129-04:002011-10-26T17:06:41.129-04:00Cranky have to admit that I deleted my twitter acc...Cranky have to admit that I deleted my twitter account because I found the absolute tripe that people post on their nothing but a waste of effort to read.<br /><br />Facebook, although somewhat frustrating I do use regularly, and will no doubt use it even more now to keep in touch with friends I am leaving behind.<br /><br />Still can't quite believe that this time next week I will be over there instead of over here - so cool!<br /><br />Lou :-)<br /><br />PS. Thank you so much for signing my book. S told me it had arrived the other day. I really appreciate it. Thanks to Mrs Cranky too because I am sure from what you have said that she will have made sure it got back into the post for me:-)<br /><br /><br /><br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-6569498834404773972011-10-26T15:12:16.345-04:002011-10-26T15:12:16.345-04:00Cranky you are so right their is to much of it.
