Elizabeth – Thanks for these links (and thanks *blush* for including one of my posts). It’s interesting how different social networking apps are best-suited for different purposes. I agree that Facebook is better for real interaction. Twitter’s great for links and for some marketing. Goodreads is better for other things…
I confess I don’t use twitter that much, except to publicise blog post. I find it much easier to use facebook. Maybe I need a complete re-introduction about twitter to make it work for me.
My Darcy Mutates
Thanks for the links!! :)
You know, I only use Twitter for tweeting links, myself. I do DM with people there, but Facebook is a better app for interacting.
All of these will certainly give my feet a rest. LOL
Thanks so much.
I’m a huge fan of Twitter, it is my go to site for social networking and therefore I look forward to this post every week! I see that my Scribe Sister post made the list, thank you so much!
Gee, that’s a lot of links – and tweets!
Thanks :)
