Before I blogge...It's an excellent question, Wendy. Before I blogged I was a prolific at sending messages via listservs. I felt posting to my blog to be less intrusive than sending a large number of email to a wide number of people. So, for me the platform shifted a long time ago.<BR/><BR/>Listservs still have a role. I see a lot of tech groups who use twitter and the others extensively are also still talking via listservs. Email is still very much "push" as opposed to "pull" and helpful for getting messages out, not relying on people to seek out the information.<BR/><BR/>Facebook has an email infrastructure, so it does allow for both a page and messages to be sent to those signed up for pages or groups, although I do see having it as a closed system to limit its usefulness in some respects.<BR/><BR/>Definitely something to watch!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Connie<BR/><BR/>To me twitter in some ways is an extension of my blogging, but I do know not everyone follows what I post on twitter.Connie Crosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049314387546446951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653607.post-33976243584476787992008-05-14T16:17:00.000-04:002008-05-14T16:17:00.000-04:00Connie, is the Twitter/Ning/Facebook universe sta...Connie, is the Twitter/Ning/Facebook universe starting to replace listserv/discussion group universe?

But, I have found lots of value since then.<BR/><BR/>Jennie, it definitely can be intense. I think of it like a river of conversations, and periodically dip my toe in as it suits me. It also helps if those people you are connected with are people you are interested in hearing from. <BR/><BR/>Good for you for trying it and considering it, whether you have deemed it useful or not!Connie Crosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049314387546446951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653607.post-33856505736127795782008-05-08T11:44:00.000-04:002008-05-08T11:44:00.000-04:00Although I'm an information junkie, and I did set ...Although I'm an information junkie, and I did set up a Twitter account ages ago, I've never used it.<BR/><BR/>It's almost TOO connected for my comfort: I work, I go home - I don't want contact about work outside of work, and contact about non-work while in the office would be frowned upon...If I want to know what my friends are up to , I'll call or text them, I don't need hourly updates. I like my privacy and personal downtime, so although I can see there's lots of uses for it, for someone like me who likes to keep other people at a reasonable distance, I'd just find it far too intrusive.<BR/><BR/>And with my dippy brain I'd never remember to use it! :-)Dumplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035196994771454451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653607.post-3717174526232956322008-05-08T10:52:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:52:00.000-04:00Just wanted to say that your success with Twitter ...Just wanted to say that your success with Twitter was my inspiration to give it full value and a couple attempts before dismissing it. <BR/><BR/>Glad I stuck it out! :)<BR/><BR/>SteveSteve Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091211427097898887noreply@blogger.com
