I need to get a tweeter account

Ok so yeah I know that's a twitter account not tweeter like my title says (or at least now I do thanks to my husband hehe) Ok my point of this post is to share how dumb I am about twitter. I just don't get it. Ever since I started this blog I've been reading up on how I can make it better. And I keep reading "make a facebook and twitter for your blog." I see how this can help your blog a lot. You can connect with other bloggers which is always good. And I can follow my favorite bloggers and keep up with them.

Facebook is no issue for me. I will say the new timeline took some getting used to. But now I've got that down too. Well kind of. And as of Pinterest, well needless to say I learned how to do that really fast ;-) Uh yeah I spend A LOT of time using that one.

But Twitter. It feels like a whole new world for me. I don't quite get the hashtags and twitter parties and all that. And I see so many people use it. I should know how to tweet, right?

Me and my hubby were talking, we got married in 2004 and back then we had never heard of Facebook, pinterest or Twitter. And now those are like household names. It's crazy how fast the world can change, isn't it? It kind of makes me think about when I'll be a grandparent, telling kids "in my day we didn't have no youtubes!". And yes I said Youtubes because that's what my husband's aunt called it one time and it cracked us up. She said "don't be putting this on youtubes now!".

Back to my original point, sorry I tend to ramble, I need to learn how to tweet. So I've made my Twitter account and you can follow me at @AllieTheMomma. So if you would like to follow me that would be awesome or if you wanna share with me your username on there I can follow you. Hopefully one of these days I will be a Twittering Pro (sorry that just sounds funny to me!)

Maybe this will help me! Haha

  2. Great post! I don't feel so bad, now! I don't "get" Twitter. I guess if I took more time to learn, I would understand the hashtags and parties (I just learned what a hashtag was about a week ago). I do have a twitter account and I followed you. :-)
    Just yesterday I signed up with... what is it called?... Twitterfeed. It tweets mt blog posts for me, so that I don't have to... this allows me to avoid twitter even more. Hmmm... I guess I won't learn much that way... Oh well! lol

  3. Allie,
    I was just telling my hubby the other day about all the Facebook and Twitter stuff. I don't have an account for either at the moment, not sure I'll get one either. And get this, I don't even have a Pinterest account! Shocking, yes I know. Found out I had to have FB to get Pinterest. I do good to keep up with blogging much less all the other. Anyhoo, your post reminded me of the same conversations going on at my home. Too funny!

  4. Allie, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was a very sweet gesture for you to think of me and I am very happy that you like my blog. I am just doing this for fun and I decided this evening that this how I want to keep it. I'm an old hippy and lists of rules and lists of blogs to recommend, just aren't my thing . . . because I like so many that I cannot judge which I would really nominate. I do wish you the best of luck and will be overjoyed to help you celebrate if you are the winner. Good Luck!!!
