Should I join the Twitter?
Do you belong to Twitter? How often do you use it? Who do you follow? What's good about it?
Many questions...
Re: Should I join the Twitter?
This is me. I especially have fun with Jess during red carpet/award show stuff though.
I had an account a few years ago and deleted it. Not worth my time. However, I do use twitter for coupon codes, but assisted by the google. Let's say I want to find a coupon code for Land's End, I google the following:
lands end coupon code site:twitter.com
It gives you more up to date codes than some of the other discount code sites and there's less crap to filter through.
Ditto. I barely tweet, I mostly just read. It's entertaining. It can be overwhelming but I use their list feature to group who I follow so it's not so overwhelming. I have a list of people I actually know, a list of local philadelphia stores/restaurants, etc that I follow, a list of nerdy tweeters, and so on and so forth. So if I just want to see what lachute said and not worry about what Kim Kardashian said, I'll just check my friends list.
The other day I tweeted Kris Humpheries to tell him what an ugly crier his ex-wife was.
He did not respond.
Also, twitter is absolutely the reason I fell out of love with all three Manzo kids. AND Greggy Bennett.
I know.

That's really interesting!
JessH, so I don't know how twitter works but how do you have 2 accounts? W/o revealing too much personal info, is one in your company name and one in your personal name?
You can have as many accounts as you want -- I actually manage a third for a client. It's not like Facebok where it's as closely tied to your real identity, unless you want it to.
One is @beautifymylife for my blog, the other is @j[maidenname] for my more public persona.
I use a desktop application called Tweetdeck to manage my Twitter feeds, and it allows you to be signed into more than one account at a time.
I don't have the tweeter, mostly because I can't think of an interesting handle that I want to go by, but the hubs does so I look through his. It's great from a pop culture perspective. Besides politicians and authors, he follows comedians and tv/movie writers (danny zucker of modern family, letterman staff, etc) and their tweets are hilarious. I know everyone uses it differently but he uses it less as a personal page and more as a live stream of what people are talking (and joking) about.
It's also cool to search through twitter after, say for example, Newt Gingrich says "Obama is OBVIOUSLY engaged in a war against religion" and see what the tweeters are saying about it.
Her humor ain't for everyone but jennyjohnsonhi5 says possibly the funniest things I have ever read. If you're a fan of Kim Kardashian she's probably not for you.
