Yesterday, I made a LinkedIn profile. I was instantly overwhelmed by emails about new connections and tried to improve my profile but couldn't figure out the import resume feature and eventually gave up.
I am also considering making a Twitter account. I feel like the oldest lady ever when I look at Twitter and see all the @s and the #s and just stare at them in confusion.
When did I become such an old fogey?
Update: Look to your right--I did it! Tweeting* and even adding it as a widget, fools! Welcome to the 21st century, me.
Update x 2: Have now used @s and #s in tweets. Remains to be seen if I am using them properly, but it's progress.
*At first I wrote "twittering." Still ironing out the kinks.

Haha the timing of your comment is impeccable. I JUST set up a twitter in an attempt to understand that world.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I feel like calling it "a twitter" makes it obvious I don't know what I'm doing.
haahahah you are funny. just discovered your blog - twitter is really intimidating at first! I had an account for a couple years and never used it. but now there are zillions of apw types chatting away on there, it's more fun. you'll get the hang of it! :) I'm going to go send you a follow request now.. :)
