Social networking

I seem to have spent most of yesterday and today messing about on social network sites: Facebook, Tagged, and Twitter.

I joined Tagged some time back when my daughter sent me a message about it and have used it a lot recently. Apart from the usual men who want a quick bang, or those who are after money because they see women in their 50s and older as desperate!!!, I have made a couple of nice, funny and caring friends. One lives in Liverpool and the other in Italy. We write, send silly jokes, exchange music, chat about football. Many things and it is really nice.

Facebook is a recent addition and took me a while to find my way around. I have found one of my S-I-Ls on there, as well as his sister, and a niece who goes to Yale University. I can see what each of them is up to from here in the US as well as leave snippets of information myself.

Twitter is really new. I joined up last week and didn't think I Would like it at all. But I have watched what goes on and found a few people to follow and discovered that it can be quite addicitive! I have hooked twitter and facebook together as well, which was something I did not understand to begin with. And I have tweeted on a twitter Map. So all in all it's been an informative weekend.

Oh, I have managed to get a lot of weaving done in between spells on the laptop. I have to stand up and move around fairly regularly and each time I see the loom glaring at me. I have to finish what's on it by Tuesday so I can give the loom to my friend for lending to a new member of the weaving guild.
