I started a Twitter account about six months ago and I'm just now getting to the point where I post about one tweet a week. As for Facebook, I just started about two months ago and really didn't know what to do with my account. About one month ago I realized that it's turning out to be a great way to stay connected with my step-siblings and cousins in other states. I haven't seen my cousins in many years and now I am planning to visit one of them. I stayed away from Facebook for a long time, but it is actually helping me get in touch with long lost friends and family. Twitter hasn't done that for me yet, but you never know.

It struck me like a ton of brick...how to sum up what I feel about a lot of (not all, but most) forms of electronic communication. Here is that snipped. ....really made me question the difference between connection and bond. I think Lialia said something really important here.

Alas, I haven't created that MAIN page yet because I wanted to have my website completed before doing a Squidoo page. ack! so many things on the to do list! anywho....here's the squidoo pages I do have: Expressive Arts Therapy/Creative Arts Therapy http://www.squidoo.com/expressiveartstherapy Top 25 Abstract Paintings http://www.squidoo.com/200abstractpaintings My Toddler's Favorite 12 Books (changes weekly) http://www.squidoo.com/mytoddlersbooks And nope, I don't Twitter and doubt if I will.

I think someone who has all of these sites (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc) could be extremely connected to Now, to people, to nature, etc. I also think that someone who doesn't have any of these sites (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace) could be very disconnected from Now, from people, from nature. And vice versa on both. I don't think it's these external things; I think it's US who keep ourselves either connected or disconnected... however we go about the connection or disconnection.

As I'm reading and studying Eckhart Toille and Wayne Dyer, I made a conscious decision to NOT join Twitter even though folks were tweeting all around me. There is already more vying for my attention than I can handle and I've been systematically pruning inbound chatter. Although I am absolutely sure there is something I will miss, I'll just have to live with it. I share your feeling that in order to create something new, you have to isolate yourself however you can.

Viral is good. The more you are out there with links back to your website the better. I think you are a very talented woman and I sure would like to hear you amongst the clutter that is out there on the airwaves. I linked you in on my website and in less than 48 hours was able to see your name with your Leap song come up on a Google search. Aloha!

I asked her how did I ever survive w/o TV and never ever use a microwave? I call it choice. I admit to being afraid that I'll get twitted out. Or sucked in or have more to become a personality on - not that being out there is such a bad thing - So for now - no tweets for me. Do me a favor and share as you discover it - and what you like and don't, I'd appreciate hearing more i am on the fence about twitter. often I march to a different drummer – one of my friends called me on it recently when she said how can you be such an advocate of blogging and not use a cell phone ?

I used to work in corporate america (pardon the analogy), and Twitter is like a way to say those comments you'd say over the wall of the cubicle. It's an extrovert's dream... as long as you've got something of value to say once in a while. Btw, love your blog! :) I like Twitter as sort of a stream of consciousness thinking out loud kinda thing.
