People are starting websites, blogs and Twitter accounts, where they’re sharing in ways that they had never done before (some would say over-sharing).

Instead of calling one friend who tells another who tells another (and the story ends up getting changed accidentally through all the shuffling), you make one Tweet or Facebook update and they all know and can comment where others see. It's a fast and easy way to converse with your friends and ask for prayers, support etc. Now I am not really for tweeted on the toilet, but I do know people who talk to their friends on the phone while on the throne. To each their own I guess ;) In my opinion, Twitter and Facebook are the modern day phone.

Still, one doesn't have to answer "what are you doing" every single minute... some things are better left unsaid. Ari, you’re making a valid point.

I'm doing this, I'm doing that. That's why. The newer tagline is "What's happening?" which is not much better but ought to give more indication than what someone is doing.

That’s why.

I've never had an experience like yours, but it sounds wonderful. Marelisa, it’s interesting that Twitter can be so useful. I’ve never had an experience like yours, but it sounds wonderful.

I sent out a tweet asking for help, one of my followers answered (someone I had never had interaction with before), and less than five minutes later my blog was back online. I've also had several pleasant exchanges with some of my blog readers. So I'm glad that I'm on twitter. Sometimes I do "lose" chuncks of time on twitter, and I've unfollowed some people because I've found certain tweets rather tasteless. I think that people who use twitter just have to be aware that they're on a public forum, and that they never know when they're going to read something and afterwards really wish they hadn't.

John, it's even colder on the Internet than it is in real life because people can stay anonymous. Jannie, it could be an old school kind of thing, in which case, I’m definitely old school.

That's some messed up shit there. I just can't even fathom the way some people's minds work. I share a little of my private life through social media, but just a little. I don't think the world outside of my friends truly care what goes on in John's day to day life, unless it involves them making money LOL. It's a cold world we live in sometimes, isn't it? YIKES!

I do share quite a lot on my blog, but hope I keep it mostly in good taste over there. I wonder if there is an "old school" and a "new-school" way of thinking,wherein the latter deems it fine to say anything to anyone at any time? I'd rather stay a bit old school.
