Link Up and Twitter!

Remember: There is a book give away here until July 12. Read here to learn more!






Every once in awhile I try to let you know about what groups I belong to in case they might be of interest to you. It's been a bit but I wanted to mention GodLinked.

Yes you can find me on FaceBook and ShoutLife, but my comfy nest is truly at Godlinked.

It's a warm community where I don't have to worry about content (a constant frustration with FaceBook and I won't even go on MySpace for the same reason) and it's easy to work with (Shoutlife isn't always so techno friendly for me).

Whether you are a writer, ministry leader, student, grandparent, new mom, old dad, you should check out GodLinked. If you want to custom design a page, trust me, you can because I am the most clueless person ever and I did. Pyzam.com helped me.

If you know of Christians looking for something like MySpace but Christian, send them to GodLinked.

Another place I've tried out but with mixed results is Twitter.. My first thought is "I will NEVER be that important to have to update y'all on what i'm doing." Second thought, I often run into error messages. Often there are so many "twitterers" that you can't get on. I guess for them, a good thing. I thought it was a young person's site but the people I'm following and who are following me seem to be in my age group. I'm following names I know from the writing industry, as well as new names that just seem like neat people I like reading about. There is a segment of folks I'm following just as a repeat gesture because they are following me. I admit, there are also those out there I just can't follow because something threw a red flag at me, and I felt it was wise to just leave well enough alone.

If you have never heard of Twitter it's in 140 (I think) words or less, letting the world know what you are doing right now. More real time than FaceBook status updates, you can even text your updates if you choose. Although I still struggle with the "I can't believe anyone would care" part of things, I admit it's another way to get my name and His work out there. If one new person checks this blog out and is encouraged, it's worth my guilt that no one cares that I'm paying bills or on a mocha run. I say go for it, I'm curious, I'd love to follow what you are doing through Twitter
