Hmmm...not sure if I'm keen on this yet but let's see what happens over the week. I have picked a range of things/people to follow and tried a few tweets including links using bit.ly.
Its a diffferent idea, just launching what you think into the internet or responding to people you don't know and I'm not quite comfortable with it: mostly i just ring/email or talk to people I know about what i think. I found the idea of tracking and analyzing tweets and bit.ly links as a sort of adjunct to marketing yourself quite remarkable and I can see its usefulness to public figures and companies to gauge penetration and response. Next thing, we'll find that its going to be part of performance appraisal!!
I am waiting for Pinterest to send me the link to register and I'll try to have a play with that.
I have added another gadget and I find that I lack finesse in editing the layout to get things to fit neatly so practice is needed.

Lol, Twitter is not for everyone, and I know of a few pollies I could certainly stand to hear less from :D but it is truly invaluable if your work requires any kind of public profile and it's also a great way to make contact with your customers or community. I love social media because it is so inclusive. There is no longer a need for me to elect a representative to fight for my rights, ideas and opinions, I can use avenues such as twitter and speak for myself! (Yes really! You should try tweeting the Prime Minister about an issue you are concerned with, I will bet that, given it's election soon, she will tweet you back.) And I like what you'bve done with your blog :) Just keep playing, it's the best way to get the hang of it!
