I don't really understand Facebook, either, so I tend to ignore it. (What's with all the app's and games and playing tag and sending shit to people? Eek, I just don't have time for it!)K. Z.

Not many of my friends have Twitter, we use Facebook or the message boards/blogs we met on. My daughter is hooked on Twitter but I have no idea what the protocol is. I think you just leap in and then you become accepted once they get to know you. Like blogs and message boards. After all, you're stuck with me now. :-D (Not saying you've accepted me of course but you haven't banned me yet.)Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677034.post-43827652633832212472009-08-25T17:29:59.076-05:002009-08-25T17:29:59.076-05:00Huh.

Until that, Jane only did those awfully written books from RR, which I can see, although I still think #romfail and #romancetheater before that is a huge bore. <br /><br />I read that book and really liked it. And I know that Sarah McCarty is a very good and popular author and that her books get rave reviews. <br /><br />So in this instance, I was quite put off because, yes, taken out of context it does look ridiculous and I saw people reacting to some of the things that happen in that book like that the heroine has been abused and raped and here the hero is pushing her to have sex. But the book in its totality came across very different and wasn't as offensive as it looked by taking snippets out of context. <br /><br />And I saw some people jump all over it who hadn't read the book and slamming those things, when in fact, in context it wasn't offensive or off putting. <br /><br />This is why I think it became a big stink and why different camps happened this time. In the case of a respected author who's well known to write well, it does then look rather petty and mean to do this.LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677034.post-71702164835415383822009-08-25T13:06:25.616-05:002009-08-25T13:06:25.616-05:00Jen, I'm not even sure how to respond to posts...Jen, I'm not even sure how to respond to posts!

You have to go back days and days and scan through tons of twitter fodder, which can be a bore. Sometimes it's just easier to click on the name of the person being talked about and you get to the source pretty quickly. <br /><br />I have a lot of time on my hands, can you tell?

I just get all whacked out of shape because, as I said, there are <i>too many</i> itty-bitty posts to follow, and they're all chopped up and scattered about.

How do the rest of you...Heh, K.Z. you crack me up!<br /><br /><i>How do the rest of you deal with Twitter?</i><br /><br />I admit, I love peeping in on others' convers, which is what twitter is about essentially. <br /><br />What I like about it is the easily jump in, stay out factor. You can play or not whenever you want. There's no big secrets going on, but it all depends on who you follow. <br /><br />Besides following people that I actually enjoy and like to converse with, I also follow the bigger industry players just for the latest news and gossip. Because all the latest gossip and wank fests get to them eventually or they are the cause of it. LOL<br /><br />The (#) hashtag is a great invention to twitter because you can follow people you don't normally follow on a particular topic. <br /><br />Like #romfail. I happen to follow Jane and DA so I see all the #romfail posts that she posts. But I don't follow everyone who is commenting on #romfail. So I click on #romfail and can see everyone who is commenting on it specifically and start to follow what are normally disjointed convers from the people I do follow. <br /><br />I don't feel any need to participate. I like to scan through twitter just to see what wank fests are going on. LOL Twitter has become the first place that wank fest start and or news of one gets mentioned. <br /><br />Am I a pathetic loser for that? Probably, but it's fun.LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.com
