So here’s a couple of three things I found out. Cheesehead, (don’t ask) says there are three good reasons for us to do this. One: it is about building relationships. Would that be making new friends, I wonder, or finding a honey? If it is the latter, I guess that explains why I don’t have one of those either. Two, he says is about the Benjamins. WHAT IS A BENJAMIN? Appears to have something to do with business, consulting, corporate exposure. Is it the worlds longest acronym? Maybe, Be Engaged Now Just A Minute l’m New. Yeah, probably not. Lastly it’s Ease of Use.

Is he kidding? I came to a screeching halt after I signed on. In the 17 seconds that I created my profile (I am very good at that, my on line dating experience makes me the queen of profile posting) I had followers. FOLLOWERS? Where did they come from, I hadn’t written anything so what are they following?

Perhaps there is a section for “Hey, another technophobe just signed on.” Let’s take bets on how many days it is until she figures out how to Microblog.” Put me down for 5$, I won’t be up and running on this thing for weeks.

Twitter does have a self help video. I’ve often marveled as to how when you are watching one of these videos they seem to be  t a l k i n g   v e r y  s l o w l y, aware that if you need the assistance you might actually be alittle slow. I am enclosing that self help video for your viewing pleasure.

And, to add insult to injury, it appears, according to other info I found, Boomers are the fastest growing segment to the phenomenon of Tweeting, twittering, and tra la la ing.

Any thoughts, suggestions, how-to’s, success stories are welcome.
