Oh dear. I don't use Twitter or Facebook come to think of it. Does this mean I will miss out on news and updates Webbo?
Will they be transferring their 2008 competition deadlines that are on a link on the main page, or were couple of days ago, do you think? yes I did say 2008, only I was looking for info about comps, and they hadn't been updated.
Thankfully, other TBers came to my assistance.
Not sure I'll bother, but I do agree with BB that updates should be on this site.
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Yes Niddy, that would be more helpful to me, as a writer and a subscriber to the mag that runs the comps, than joining the collective twits on Twitter.
Why does everybody feel they have to join Twitter, just because it is there? Doesn't mean to say it is a good thing, or right, just because the masses like to go on and twitter.
I am just updating the competitions page now.
Dora, I don't do Twitter either.
Twitter will be incorporated into the site (with a sidebar on the left hand side of Talkback, or a panel on the main site homepage) as soon as our techies can manage.
It's National Poetry Day! Anyone fancy writing a Twitter poem? Think haiku might suit the format best.
Can anyone come up with anything? The theme is Heroes and Heroines, but that might be a bit of a stretch in 140 characters.
the Twitter link is now on the homepage.
Jonathan kindly e-mailed me to let me know it was sorted.

Well it is Friday...
Yes it can be a time waster like blogs, facebook and other social networks (dare I say TB), but can also be useful for marketing and mass communication. You just have to keep an eye on the time and be strict with yourself if you dont want it to encroach on writing time.
Thanks for my follow, Emma. I'm folowing you too. :)
Do you think they enjoy seeing what you are up to Emma?
He wrote me this note, to give to you:

I am the biggest fan
