I Have Succumbed...

I tried. I really did. I dragged my feet, refused to jump on the bandwagon, and swore it would lead to no good!

 I didn’t even look at it. Not a peep!

But the pressure grew. 

AND I COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I give up! You win!

You can now find me on Twitter @KatherineKrige

( ^ )

There. A measly 55 words for you folk who have pushed me to the brink of sanity. Now I will never get any work done, sleep or probably even see my family ever again! 

Twitter! Why have you forsaken me!!!

Oh G-Man, what does the future hold now? I shall just have to avoid any more work for the day and tweet out all of the Flash 55s I come across at your place. 

(Please Lord save me from the social media world I have been sucked into. I am weak!)
But Geez its FUN!

  1. I tried twitter for a bit. Didn't really get into it, to be honest. But that's probably a *good* thing. There are only so many hours in a day, after all! :)

  2. @Me: Indeed! With all of the social media stuff that I am doing for work, I just couldn't justify NOT jumping in though. So a'tweeting I will go!

  3. I have two twitter accounts. I don't tweet. I do, however, get a kick out of the silly things all f the pro athletes say, thanks to working for a company that caters to them. Seriously, gang, do you not realize PEOPLE --- ACTUALLY --- READ --- YOUR --- RANTS! I recommend finding a strong-armed editor. Or a good PR person, just in case...

  8. I was the same way at the beginning and now I love it, more for "friend stalking" than anything else I think!

    Enjoyed this

    Blood, Sweat and Tears is mine this week.

  10. HA!

    Very good. I have a twitter account and I rarely ever use it. I always feel like I have no idea what I am doing...

    great 55

  11. Faaaaabulous 55, Katherine!

    I tried Twitter about two years ago, but couldn't really find a use for it. But, hey, TONS of people love it.

    Enjoy, my friend!

  12. Twitter's not so bad. It's even is fun sometimes. I thought maybe you'd bought an I-pad II or something. ;_)

  14. I've had twitter since I started blogging but haven't yet gotten sucked in to it.

  15. I hear ya! Haven't jumped into the pool myself, but like all other social media...will no doubt have to or be left behind.

  16. ...I think I will be left behind... I don't really get twitter - I mean, we have texting and cell phones. And honestly, I don't want to know what everyone is doing at every given moment. It all seems a bit odd... But maybe I don't get it... It did make for a cute 55 though!

  17. As a writer, Twitter is one of the best things that can happen to you. I've met all sorts of wonderful people and authors ready to dispense advice at the drop of a hat ;-) Happy to have you on with us!

  18. @phermone girl: Thanks PG. I will add that to my list of things to do.

    @Brian: Ha! No worries. I am just trying to get the feel for it right now. Trying to figure out the hashtags, protocols, whatever. I suspect that it will be worth my while to figure it out, whether I make much of a personal presence or not.

    @G-Man: Thanks for being a kick-ass host G!

  19. @Alice: I will look you up Alice!

    @Moondustwriter: Yeah well, the whole of my family aren't very good losers. I guess it's only fair to paint me with that brush too. :)

    @Austin: Good to know Austin. So there is hope for me yet.

    @Jingle: Happy Mother's Day to you too Jingle!

  20. @PBJdreamer: I guess that would be me right now, but I have some people in the know who are starting to point me in the right direction. Any pointers?

    @Ron: I am already semi-familiar with it due to some clients who have me scheduling tweets. Time to get on the bandwagon if only for a little while Ron

    @Hedgewitch: Ha! Lord there are so many new tools and gadgets out there aren't there? I have a cell phone, but it is ancient and not capable of much. The world of Ipads, BB, nook books, ipods and beyond are still pieces of the future.

  21. @Helen: HA! That is perfect! I love it Helen!!

    @Belinda: Good for you Belinda. I suspect that if I do get into it, it will be my next addiction.

    @Steve: It would be.

    @Monkey Man: It took me awhile to get on FB, then I started blogging. I recently signed up for Linked In, now Twitter. I guess it all comes with the territory. And I also know if I know enough about it, then I will be able to sell my services to others that can't be bothered, but want to gain the benefits.

  22. @Margaret: Thanks Margaret. I have yet to make up my mind about it yet, but am willing to give it a try.

    @Sara: Oh, someone that is on board and spreading the message! It would seem you are in the minority on my comment page, but maybe you know something we all don't. Thanks for welcoming me into this brave new world Sara!
