sorry for the late reply, but i just came across this post.

firstly i’ve got to disagree with snosk red and suze - i’ve been ‘around for a while’ and on the internet since the days of dial up bulletin boards and IMO twitter and social networking in general is far from ‘gimmicky’. if nothing else, twitter is an excellent resource that can help promote your blogs.

some of you may be interested in a service at http://ping.fm - it’s basically an online open beta that allows you to update all (or a selection) of your social networks in one go i.e. you type your status and with one click i’ve updated my accounts at: twitter, facebook, myspace, blogger, plurk, mashable, brightkite, linkedin and delicious

Hang on to your bum Cellobella. I can’t understand how to fit all that stuff in either. I figure there’s only so much social networking I can do as well as write my blog, oh and maintain my digital scrapbooking tutorial program, and deal with everyday life. Nope, no time to Twitter.

I don’t tweet, twitter or plurk either………. I do my fair share of lurking though………

Will my bum fall off too? *looks hopeful*

I agree with you on this. But I think it’s like Snoskred said. If you’ve been around a while, and the internet isn’t so new to you, then Twitter, Plurk etc are all a little ho-hum really. I had my years of devoting too much time to all things internet about 8 years ago. I’m over all the gimmicky crap.

I don’t have the time for tweeting and plurking etc. I’m another one glad you wrote this.

I also think that those of us who had been around for a while had simply reached saturation point by the time Twitter was released. It was like “Oh, another thing I have to sign up for? Err, no thanks. I’m good.”

I probably have the time to twitter.

I just don’t really get it.

One of my friends does it and I see it on her blog. I don’t really get it.

What are you supposed to do exactly???

Is it fun?

I am another one who is glad you wrote this … I have no idea how people find the time either.
I am flat keeping up with my reads in google ,blogging and returning comments -though I did sign up to twitter and plurk.
I hardly even have to time to visit forums which were my old haunts pre blogging days and even Aussie Bloggers forum. PLus I only work a little from home …not a job like some people.
