I just discovered FreeRepublic's Twitter page @FreeRepublic and I want to say kudos to whoever put it together.

Good deal then ..........Thanks for the answer !
Stay safe !
I am not sure all of this is helpful anyway. Sometimes we get so caught up in this stuff we fail to participate in REAL activities.
I told a friend of mine about Twitter about a 6 weeks ago, or so, and she had not heard of it at all and I said, “Oh, you WILL.”
Keeping an open mind - can someone make a good argument for why the twitter feed is better or has more utility in certain respects than FR’s news page?
Nothing is better than FR. :->
I just posted this just in case folks happened to be on there to know about the FR page.

Exactly. It serves no useful purpose.
We didn’t need all that crap to organize the Tea Parties.

I have twitter account it is my AOL Username Kellyannk308
Oh I am quite sure many people did Tweet about the parties.
It’s just that I know how addictive FR can be even for me. Of course, I’m on the computer for hours at a time due to school work and, thus, I’m back and forth with FR and work.
Meanwhile, though, I’m a little concerned with all of the focus on all of the social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, the myriad blogs and so on.
If we are all sitting in our own little universes and tweeting or freeping or whatever, are we really doing work that will matter in the long run - such as participating in local government. I think this is important because local government is where it starts and the Muslims are making big inroads here.
We need to be judicious with our time. The Bible says to “redeem the time for the days are evil” and I think nothing says it better than we only have so much time to spend (redeem) and we need to spend it wisely (meanwhile as I freep away here)
I’m with you. FR is my worldwide newspaper. I routinely find out about things here (often non-political items of interest) that my circle of friends and family don’t hear about for days or weeks later. Susan Boyle is an example. I read about that here on FR before her appearance had even been broadcast on ITV.
Thank God for young people like you.
twitter causes brain damage plus they have no viable business model.
No . I agree totally - but they should run out of money soon - being that they haven’t figured out how to bring in revenue much less make a profit.
What the hell is twitter?
Careful. Karl Rove will stalk you (if you are a chubby, cute blonde, anyway)
I am
ThatCatGirl
on twitter. Please fell free to follow me or invite me to follow you. I am not a huge fan of it. But I joined it because I want to communicate with as many like minded ppl as I can. One of the reasons that the left kicked our as$ because of their ability to organize using the latest technology.
LOL. I’m 51 next month.
I think I’ll stay here.I just have No clue what good joining twitter or facebook would do for me.
