Twitter.
One social networking site I had no intention of ever joining. I never wanted to be a sheep, I resented facebook and myspace. Depsite using them a lot.
Alas, my twitter account is recently up and running and already I have 79 followers. I think I know three of them in ‘real life’; two of them are family members.
But I will say something right here;
I have been having discussions with about 25 of those 79 people on twitter - and they are each a fantastic, creative and wonderfully unique person. They are real people - or, I hope they are and trust they are.
Its a fantastic way to make new friends. For example, i’ve met one lovely lass who lives near where I will be moving and that, to be honest, makes me feel ALOT better about moving to a whole new city by myself!
I do understand people’s caution on it, and thats something to be wary about - you never know who you might come across. But so far, I have been incredibly lucky.
