I do talk to my partner about it and also to my friends that twitter. I will ask many if they twitter but if they don't I usually just move on to something else.

Oh yeah! I was with a group of friends last weekend and they all laughed at me and said that Twittering was for "lonely" women that didn't have anything better to do! I don't agree at all ~ they don't do it, so they don't understand!

I try to avoid talking about online things IRL, but OMG sometimes it is necessary and I am always met with blank stares or questioning looks. No wonder I hang out here...

I just started Twitter and multiple times I have found myself referring to what someone said. My husband or sister will ask who they are and I say - "Oh I met them on Twitter!"

Yep, to hubby and my side of the family. Hubby's side does not even know I blog (well one does). =) I never blog about them, so we are safe.

Well through out my pregnancy i had my girls frm the message boards, and after all the grief i got from people i would just call them my friends... in truth many became my friends albeit online but really isn't the definition of a friend somoene who listens to you who is there for you and doesn't judge you? Its great to have an outlet of people online to relate to!

My hubby gets it... he tweets and he and I met in an online chat room many years ago (1997 pre Web 2.0). He usually gets them confused b/w twitter, blogs and forums. Most of my family doesn't really get twitter except for one of my sister in laws but she's just as techie as I am. Many of my freinds are my online freinds and most of my offline freinds are online freinds too , after hanging out with me awhile. (Yes I'm a converter! LOL )

I recently just discovered twitter. I joined awhile ago but had no clue what it was all about so i just left my account. This week twitter was being talked about on a forum so i decided to check it back out again. Boy am I glad i did. This is the neatest thing and i'm so happy there are groups too!
Now besides staring at my etsy shop all day at work i can twitter too!
Oh i told my husband about it the other night and he looked at me funny. he had no clue....

All the time!

I lead a small Women's Bible study group and I'm all the time talking about Beth Moore and her blog! Now that I have added twitter and am following people like Max Lucado, Casting Crowns and MercyMe, I'm starting to feel a wee bit like a stalker...oh yet I digress...I share all the wonderful information I have gleaned about these folks with my group and they just look at me like I'm nuts. (Well, I'd like to think that's why they are looking at me this way.) I've shared addresses and links and everything else with them, but they just aren't that interested. i wouldn't mind having someone to share all thise info with!!

BTW, I met my husband online through Yahoo chat - you'd think he might not look at me like I've lost it (again, I'm hoping it's the blogging stuff that's causing him to look at me like that.)
