You are not stupid, but on twitter, if you don't follow a couple of the people that the people you are following follow , then you would see the bigger picture..i am a twitter addict; pretty soon they make me go to sit in those rooms and say hi, my name is wendy and I am a twitter addict.

I have not had time to look at Twitter myself in detail but what you are saying, Dan, is exactly what I saw too. That also is kind of what happened to me when I created my very temporary Facebook account. I invited who I wanted to and then when I went to look at my Facebook homepage -- it was full of a bunch of junk. Other people I don't know talking about random things, things along the side of the page, etc. I looked over all the settings so I couldn't figure out why I did not have a blank page to start working with. Just a bunch of comments from people I did not invite or include when I signed up, etc. When I try to set it up again (if I do) I am sure there is a way around to stop that sort of thing. Like many others I am trying to get a wound healed and I have about 100 other things to do on the PC when I do have PC time. I'm glad so many people are having so much fun with theirs however! Lori At 04:22 PM 6/28/2009, Lori Michaelson said something that elicited my response: It seems like everyone is all in a twitter about Twitter.com! Pardon the pun! LOL. First it was MySpace, then people started using Facebook and now Twitter is hot for the same reasons as the two prior sites. Again, I don't have time to start one of these let alone keep up with it so it will be a future item on my agenda if I ever get that far or want to go that route. By then it will probably be something else! LOL LOL But also, to me, it seems more like something a teenager would want to use. Friends, personal info, for the latest KRAZE. Almost like a popularity thing but also a "fun" thing. And, for those computer geniuses (like my husband) and hackers - even if they are set up to block out certain people or choose certain people - the information is not private to many many people that you are not aware of. E-mailing personal information to my online friends, etc, trying to keep up with my computer projects and working on putting up my own personal website is even more than I can handle -- especially now. Different strokes for different folks as always [][][]but am I alone in thinking that it seems to be something that teenagers would do? On the flip side, we are all young at heart so it is a different kind of fun for those that have the time to keep up with it, etc.!
