Who Here Is On Twitter?

[pchamster 0]

Hi everyone:

I think there must be only ONE other person who's undergone WLS and is a fellow Tweeter (That stands for user of the Twitter.com website BTW) and he's a Lap Bander.

Just to be in the balpark of people on Twitter who've undergone weight loss, I've had to settle for people who've done so WITHOUT undergoing WLS.

So this begs the question WHERE FOR ART THOU FELLOW WLSers??? Where (Not to mention WHY) are you hiding from Twitter?

Twitter is a GREAT way to communicate. It's also a GREAT tool for announcing meetings and other activities too.

Don't have an account yet? CHECK IT OUT - twitter.com (I don't work for Twitter nor do I have ANYTHING to gain (Except some fellow WLS followers of course ) or lose from posting this, so this isn't a spam attempt (If it were, it'd be a terrible one at that) so GO CHECK IT OUT!!)

You can also see MY Twitter page in my sig below or the link to it on my blog page also in my sig below.

See ya on Twitter! :eek:

Cheers

If your looking for wls people we're right here Why would we want to go to a differant site when we have a great forum right here? you sound to me like your advertizing. If the other wls people aren't there and they are all here why not just stay here?

This is freaky. I've never heard of Twitter until today when I was reading a very old Newsweek in the waiting room of the doctor's office. Then I see this post!

Anyway, I don't see any particular need to be on it or that somehow it will help me communicate with WLS patients better. Sorry.

i'm pretty tech savvy and have no desire to be on twitter either... i can update my status with my friends through facebook... why do i need yet another ap/website?

ex techie sales person - happily to have left that world, but i do connect w/my colleagues through linkedIn. never heard of twitter, but then i've been gone from the real world for 2+yrs....

I looked at the website, it looks like the highlights of it, are the side features of some programs I use already, and don't like. The constantly updating what you're up to, seems really weird to me. Maybe the generation below me likes it, but I don't know who would keep tabs on each other round the clock.

I use Plaxo & LinkedIn for work, and Facebook & Myspace for friends.. of all of them, I rarely find a good use. Myspace is a fun way to find old friends from high school, but beyond that I think they all serve a weak purpose. No thanks Twitter!

I am bringing this back up. I think more and more of us are now starting to use twitter. In the past two months, I have become as addicted to it as I am Facebook. In fact, I have my twitter update my facebook status.

So, if you are on twitter, post your link here. Mine is in my signature.

I really don't understand twitter. What is the difference between twitter and Facebook? It seems with twitter, all you do is update your status. What is the point of it?

To keep track of others and let them keep track of you, in a more concise manner than facebook. It's like a very, very short mini-blog (I think all you get per entry is something like 150 characters).

I joined awhile back, but pretty much forgot about it til a friend brought it up a few weeks ago. My link is in my signature.

Are there twiiter instructions on the site? I couldn't even figure out how to update my status, or find people I was looking for.
