Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Any BF RR regulars (who actually know the difference between twitter.com and blogspot.com) on twitter? I'd like to have more folks to stalk, er, I mean follow.

Yup. I'm usually a sort-of-regular-slash-lurker here, usually during the season mostly. Robobo1.

If I understand your question correctly: blogspot.com is for blogging and twitter.com is for "twittering" or posting tweets. Does this sufficiently answer your question or were you looking for something else?

No; I know the difference. That reference was to a certain highly-active BF member who didn't know the difference. I was asking which BF regulars are on twitter.

I was on twitter for about three days until I realized that while I do have a big ego, it's simply not "twitter" big.

Really? You should be able to get more schwag for your dollar as the economy sinks, therefor your ego should grow.

Got it, missed the "(" and ")" first time around...I will likely be using it in about 2-3 weeks...my students will be using it as part of my Web 2.0/Social Media and Other Hot Topics in Ecommerce & Marketing course, so, I will likely join them in the exercise...I'll let you know...

I'm on Twitter. I even have followers. Though I haven't posted a single thing to date.

It's sort of demotivating...

but it's a never ending cycle...if he gets more schwag he will NEVER be able to justify it in his riding, so his ego is battered by even more self loathing....

It's so good to see we're in a society where people read about strangers' lives and only talk on the internet instead of going out into the real world and meeting real people.

No why aren't there more threads on this forum? I'm getting bored here!
