I joined twitter and really tried to like/use it. It lasted about two weeks and I just abandoned the account.
If I can, I’m a big twitter user now and there are a good group of folks to follow that will help you understand the power of twitter and help you stay engaged. There is a HUGE group of really good conservatives to follow. I would also recommend to any FReepers, that we use the hashtag of #FR in our posts to help others find us.
I had a similiar experience......I’ve been on the net since 1996, but I could not for the life of me figure out how Twitter works.
