  3. That clip had me in stitches. I’m on twitter and love it. I also blog about the “everyday and mundane” so it’s not a far stretch. It’s amazing what people find interesting :)

    Mia – I am twittering but still “don’t get the fascination” – however I will soilder on to see if I get a grasp and enthusiasm for it. You however make me laugh. I’ve already fired John Mayer and Ashton Kutcher – DH’s. Nobody really follows me and I think I’m kinda cool – wanna be my friend? (ha ha) I think I’m known as Aussiesoccermum

    Twitter is a social networking tool and you can use it sensibly and build a network of people who support and encourage you and your business. I like connecting with my tweeps because I work at home on my own every day so they keep me sane on those challenging days and make me laugh about purely inane subjects and I have those that I connect with that we have serious conversations with … it really does depend on how you use it. I have not once promoted my products I sell but I like to direct traffic to my blog posts and I only ever mention it once a day as I post everyday, just like Mia does … I’ve met some of my tweeps offline and they are really lovely … it’s help me connect to like mindeds locally and globally and I’ve learnt so many new things that help me and my business.
    I hope that helps you choose whether twitter is for you or not, I have been on it for nearly a year now and it took me months to get into it and find a balance :-)

    Haha great video! I actually agree with everything that dude says but for whatever reason, continue to be riveted by Twitter and compulsively check in.
    Mia, I can’t believe how fast your following is growing. Yay you!

    I have no time to twitter about what? That I just ate a custard tart. Or, that I just changed my daughter’s soiled nappy? No, but no, but no, but no, but no. But, I do love your blog Mia, I love reading all the comments and the articles your keep throwing our way. Oh, and those Louis Vuitton shoes the other day – PO BOX 1112 Gosford 2250.

    Really Angela ? I just have a very basic phone that doesn’t have web access tho ??
    I love communicating (it’s what I do for a living) but I’m really not into technology in my personal life … I don’t think I would even own a computer if it wasn’t for my daughter!
    In fact, I only just learned how to put music on my handmedown ipod !! hahaha

    I’d love to check it out BUT I don’t have access at work (social networking sites are a no no) and I refuse to spend my personal time sitting in front of a computer! 10-12 hours a day M-F is enough!

    I’m actually getting kind of bored with it.
    I think it is only worthwhile if you can twitter through your mobile. But for some reason twitter wont allow me to do it through my mobile..

    The more I twitter the more I realise it’s quality, not quantity, that counts when it comes to following people. In the beginning, I followed everyone who tapped me on the shoulder, so to speak…but I’ve been slowly unfollowing those who (a) use twitter as advertising space – i.e. “anyone need a PR consultant?” (b)I have nothing in common with i.e. UK Death Metal bands (WTF?) or (c) those who tweet too bloody much about too little – I really don’t need to know every single thing you’ve done this morning…
