I set a timer when I'm on FB and Twitter so I don't use up all my writing time goofing around!<br /><br />I do believe writers need to participate in social networking and I could not have said it any more eloquently than you have!Name: Holly Bownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079363337603264641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-86585248542839000412010-11-14T10:01:43.580-06:002010-11-14T10:01:43.580-06:00Facebook is an incredibly powerful network for wri...Facebook is an incredibly powerful network for writers, allowing the writer to develop relationships and actually deepen them. It's like one big networking event that is always going on - 24/7. You build the network and it's always there for you to check in, exchange comments with your friends, offer support, build relationships, ask a question and keep your name in front of folks. Nothing has helped me as much as Facebook..<br /><br />Good luck with the social media outreach. Love your writing style.<br /><br />mbMindie Burgoynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936334677882898071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-3265720107350979312010-11-14T07:45:52.280-06:002010-11-14T07:45:52.280-06:00#1 and #5 are so true.#1 and #5 are so true.Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573906991666088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-10906623879822255922010-11-12T17:51:42.546-06:002010-11-12T17:51:42.546-06:00Loved your post and everyone's comments.

That is for me to connect with my family. I've been on it since it was opened to the general public. I don't really use it as a networking tool. I like to keep it more private because I'm posting family pictures.lotusgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663641163048764869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-40317660649504691152010-11-12T07:18:16.836-06:002010-11-12T07:18:16.836-06:00My writing is definitely enriched through writing ...My writing is definitely enriched through writing friends online.

My advice...I was reading Robyn's comment above. My advice for Twitter and FAcebook is never click on a link that wasn't posted from a reliable source. Make sure you "know" theh person. Also, I don't spend any time on Facebook using outside apps. I don't play games on Facebook. None of the extra fluff except Visual Bookshelf where I post what I'm reading or what I've read. Other than that I only socialize/network. It was the extra apps and stuff that got a lot of people hacked recently.<br /><br />Welcome to the virtual party, Susan. You can use it/enjoy it as much or as little as you like. It doesn't have to take over your life - like some warn against.

I have met so many wonderful people (authors, artists all) and I look forward to posting and reading comments.<br /><br />Facebook I think I would like if I had an author page, simply because it would be more free flowing with the writerly info and friendships.<br /><br />Twitter? I haven't joined that nest yet. I'm still on the fence with it. Not to mention I don't have a phone that will "tweet". Yes. I AM from the dark ages...<br /><br />Great post!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-74294784697730103202010-11-11T10:30:57.663-06:002010-11-11T10:30:57.663-06:00One thing I like is the inspiration I get from tim...One thing I like is the inspiration I get from time to time by something someone posts. It might be a one line status update on Facebook or an entire blog entry, you never know what will strike just the right cord in your mind. Now if I can just use some of that inspiration to actually write something I'd be in good shape! I think someone could write quite the interesting book based solely on the posting of their friends and acquaintances! Having fun is certainly top of the list for these sites. There's nothing worse than a grouchy, unhappy person constantly posting depressing things!!
