Charm City Moms is using Twitter; are you?
Well, this mom has joined the tweeting ranks. Follow me at twitter.com/charmcitymoms (look for the cupcake.)
I actually signed up a while ago, but for a while I resisted tweeting very often. I had started to read that moms were finding the micro-blogathon of Twitter just sucked up too much of the little life that remained to them after they took care of their kids, husbands, bosses' needs, volunteer duties, etc., etc. I still remember when Mary Beth at Supafine said Sayonara to Twitter. But then she went back a couple months later.
Guess I can't avoid it, huh?
Do you tweet?

I keep hearing about Twitter. I did review the link to the website but, I'm not technologically astute so...how does "Twitting" actually work? Is it like IM'ing?
Is it a form of blogging? What are the features, advantages and benefits?
It's called "microblogging." Basically, it's to tell the world what you're doing in 140 characters or less. Some (like me, granted) use it to let friends know about a new post on their blogs. Some use it to post actual news to a lot of friends at once (like, say, "in labor; headed to the hospital!)
Advantages -- learning new things and meeting new people online, while keeping up with your pals. Disads -- Twitter can easily suck up your time, as noted in the earlier post...
