I'm tweeting. Damned newfangled marketing gimmicks.

NOOOOO! Say it ain't so. I have tried Facebook and detested it...it especially pissed me off when they highjacked my e-mail list and then sent e-mails to everyone on it asking if they wanted to be my "friend." Ugh. I closed up that account, pronto.

But, tweeting? I haven't gone to the dark side yet, Eric. :)

I hate facebook for all the game apps that appear every time you open it...I don't really care that Suzy's virtual chickens hatched, though I'm wondering how Suzy still has a job...and even after blocking dozens of apps, there are two or three new ones every day.
I have gotten back in contact with friends and family that I haven't seen in years though, and a few of them I'd like to stay in contact with, so I guess I'll stick with it.
Twitter I'm doing just for business reasons...a lot of restaurants are using it now to advertise specials and to communicate with regulars.
So, I'm not posting about my morning poo. I text that info to my friend Keith.

I had a twitter account for awhile. I got bored with it and quit. I figured if I was boring myself, I must really be torturing the internet.

I'm already bored with it, but I'm trying everything I can think of to boost business right now.

you're part of the twitterverse? ME TOO (for work)!! I hate myself everytime I log on, but you're right; it is the new way to advertise and market your product. I'll look y'all up tomorrow.

Eric said...

Yes, I am a twit. Are you having any luck with it, Sarah?

ehh, it's growing slowly but surely. It's a nice way to establish a more casual, personal relationship with peeps we're already in business with. It's hard to monitor ={
