Hey Lisa! Thanks for including me, even if I didn’t get to play with the avatars. I think the best part of Twitter is that I started using it for work and to follow what smart people had to say about social media and their jobs and ended up finding so much more than that.

Hi Lisa, okay, okay, you’ve proved your POINT! ;-))) No more trash talkin’ Twitter. But I just wish I knew about the avatar rule before I joined the bandwagon. I don’t need two marks against me! And I know you have a screen capture of my avatar…and I *just know* it’s gonna come back and bite me! Heh.

You and your crew have been great fun and in all seriousness have really shown me the Twitter light. You are right, there are some great conversations and people there. Let’s call a truce, shall we? [Besides there are some people out there that think we are going to kill each other! But we know that's not true...]

Glad to hear everyone made your week end on a good note!

Beth

Woo! I’m glad now that I was a joiner for a minute. What a great post - my twitter pals are ALWAYS good for a cheer-up when I’m in the dumps.

Love you bunches. ??

Thanks for sharing this Lisa, and Mark, for hosting Lisa. This captures precisely the reasons why I love Twitter so much. I don’t know how else I would have met everyone otherwise. As Jessica said, I started digging into Twitter for work and then for my professional networking, then started making friends too, realizing Twitter is awesome because of the people behind each handle.

I have to agree that Shannon’s is awesome.

My life has gotten a bit crazy lately, and when I feel overwhelmed I just log onto Twitter and see what everyone is doing. It takes me away from my problems and shows me they really aren’t problems at all. Twitter gives me perspective? Some might laugh at that, but I have a feeling those reading this would understand.

Twitter also motivates me. The people on my list are ambitious and making things happen in the web world. It motivates me to try harder and make things happen, too.

But I can’t go over to the cartoon avatar side with you. Not unless there’s one that can capture my feather boa and crazed expression properly!!

Lisa,

You’ve captured one of the funnest aspects of Twitter, just having a great time with friends. Cheering each other up when we are feeling down. Comraderie with friends. Someone to brighten your day when your feeling the dark gloom of a root cellar

Excellent post Lisa. I can definately see the value of Twitter in this post, which for ppl who don’t use Twitter find hard to find.

I *heart* U. Viva La Revoluc’ion!
