At other times I ignore it - which I think is one of the advantages of Twitter - you can do that! :)<br /><br />I don't even do FB, so you're ahead of me there! <br /><br />And I think you do a great job of blogging!

Twitter just hasn't gotten me yet. I'm also resisting Pinterest; it seems like a massive time eater, and do I really need it? No way! On the blogging, I don't think it's necessary to blog daily. I really don't. Then again, that is just my opinion, and I may have an F for blogging!<br /><br /><a href="thewarriormuse.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Shannon at The Warrior Muse</a>, co-host of the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">2012 #atozchallenge</a>!

I defy the doom sayers that tell me I NEED a twitter account to be someone. About Fb, I actually like it and have quite a few nice friends that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Blogging is also I enjoy and has brought me many satisfactions. So, in general, I'd say I'm a lousy social media user but the things I do (even to the very few that I do reach) I enjoy and wouldn't change.<br /><br />Good luck and don't let social media stop you.
