It's changed things, hasn't it?<br /><br />I do great keeping up with Facebook, but I wasn't ready for Twitter. Talk about sensory overload!<br /><br />I've linked through the find you.

It is more for myself than to keep touch with others although I do love that I have made some nice friends in the blogging world.<br /><br />I have 12 friends on my FB account. I periodically increase it to 30, and I constantly delete people. I do not like it to keep in touch. I don't want people involved in my daily activities.<br /><br />I am totally not a fan of FB, and don't use it in the same way most people do.Mrs. Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017425815067633696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884411045598601037.post-81743895374622292112010-11-13T11:03:56.431-06:002010-11-13T11:03:56.431-06:00I am so with you, Amy!

But life has been so busy lately and I feel like I'm always behind -- behind in updating Twitter, keeping up with my FB page, writing blog posts, visiting blogs ... and that feeling sucks the fun right out of it. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading your posts ... hope that you'll give us some insight into what works for you and how you balance it with family life and writing.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156194155140470909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884411045598601037.post-79252781292282111932010-11-12T13:54:09.890-06:002010-11-12T13:54:09.890-06:00I ended up with an email virus from FB.

Friend updates are great but some are time-wasters like, "I just don't feel like doing this or that right now."<br />All that to say, I am happy with email and blogs only. Mine and my extended families' blogs were started to keep in touch with each other. Having followers become friends has been a bonus!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884411045598601037.post-84578097026498588772010-11-12T13:06:38.898-06:002010-11-12T13:06:38.898-06:00I like blogging and FB, but I haven't jumped i...I like blogging and FB, but I haven't jumped into the Twitter waters yet.

I can see the reasoning to a certain point. I mean, it would be useful for the book launch. Otherwise, I don't know.<br /><br />I'm just starting to do more submitting and agents and editors seem to prefer that you have a web site or blog. I suppose it helps them to learn more about you. Let's face it, Amy, gone are the days are the reclusive writer. Still, I won't be doing Facebook or Twitter for a while yet.http://www.samposey.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/16689027309415722271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884411045598601037.post-22096220243980170872010-11-12T11:52:13.324-06:002010-11-12T11:52:13.324-06:00Hi Amy - Thanks for visiting my post.

I can see that if you had a book ready, you would want to connect more. I don't, so I do a lot of book reading. I don't see how many bloggers get so much done.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163662759281341381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884411045598601037.post-61327288091652033102010-11-12T10:50:12.562-06:002010-11-12T10:50:12.562-06:00balance in all things.

My greatest benefit in social networking has been to get to know my stepdaughters better who live in other states and keeping track and in touch with the grandkids!Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.com
