Do you Tweet?
I don’t remember when I signed up for Twitter but I do remember the time when my account was banned. Because of that, I turned to Plurk. But that was a long time ago.
Now, I send tweets through SMS. I’ve followed some people, and I even got boyfriend to create an account (@iambadong). Most of those I follow are celebrities, so checking on my Twitter feed is like checking on the latest news, and entertainment gossip.:) Only a handful of those I follow actually follow me back because I know them. But that’s fine by me. I got my Tweets to post on Facebook automatically anyway.
I wonder why I’ve been so hooked on social networking sites. First, there’s IM via Windows Live Messenger. Back when the Profile pages weren’t getting banned at work, it was the social site in the office, haha. Then there’s Facebook. I spend a lot of time going through the personal status messages. I actually backtrack on those posted after the last time I was logged in to the site. Now, I do the same thing on Twitter. Lol.
My new phone (oh, I haven’t told you about that have I?) has a Twitter app, but it needs to use my network’s Internet service, translating to added cost for me. So I haven’t really used that. I’m determined to stay away too, unless necessary – meaning I’m bored out of my wit’s end and there’s no computer with Internet connection nearby. Haha.
Apart from Twitter, offline activities have also been taking my time away from my blog, and from blog hopping. I wish they were some exciting activity like traveling, or remodeling my room and adding modern furniture, or something like going away on photo shoots, but they’re not. Just some malling, movie, reading, TV, and sleeping. Normal, non-exciting stuff. 🙂

Hi there. Was able to come by your blog via entrecard… though I’m still not a registered user there since my blog is really new.
Anyway, I’ve been using twitter years ago I think when it was still new on the net… and I didn’t really expect that the site would grow this popular.
Have you tried using twitter updates via txt msg? Though you can’t receive any updates there from the one you follow. Just allows you to update via sms.

Ooh thanks for visiting 🙂 Yes, I do send updates via SMS. I noticed that when my boyfriend signed up for Twitter recently, there was no option to add a phone from the Philippines anymore. 🙁
