Of the three, I'm sensing the Twitter thing seems to have the most legs at the moment. The ereaders are so expensive and seem to have all kinds of model-specific flaws and limitations. Not to mention - once you get one, you pretty much have to buy a lot of ebooks to justify it's purchase. Which would be just too tempting.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-7098710278769056422009-07-06T06:29:06.754-07:002009-07-06T06:29:06.754-07:00I'm with both of you.

I...I'm with both of you. I'm very lo-tech.<br /><br />I have no cell phone and will not be getting one.<br /><br />I joined Twitter as part of the Blog Improvement Project Social Media Carnival. I figured Twitter was useless without a cell phone or Blackberry, but it has turned out to be somewhat useful to me. I agree, M, that many of my favorite bloggers are now Tweeting instead of blogging. But I don't follow the on-going conversations on Twitter and still have no plans to do so. I pop on and off, and that's good enough for me. The latest news will make its way to me eventually.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-22881197460040230402009-07-05T22:03:28.403-07:002009-07-05T22:03:28.403-07:00...and, I should add, I've never gotten into t......and, I should add, I've never gotten into texting on cell phones. Why not just send an email? Or a tweet? Yeah, maybe there's a bit of a generation gap going on, lol!Thomma Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490964079393282131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-7947085091163470832009-07-05T22:02:17.847-07:002009-07-05T22:02:17.847-07:00For a long time, I resisted Twitter, but I started...For a long time, I resisted Twitter, but I started tweeting a few months ago, and it's been growing on me. And like you, I was impressed by its use in protesting the Iran elections. <br /><br />I still don't own an e-reader but that will likely change soon. I just don't want something proprietary, and I'm hanging back to see what develops, and for the costs to keep going down.<br /><br />I guess I'm the most resistant when it comes to cell phones. Mine is used very sparingly. Just never gelled with cell phones for some reason. Probably because I'm an introvert and I prefer writing to talking. :)Thomma Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490964079393282131noreply@blogger.com
