A great place to trawl for potential contacts. A way to benefit from others' curation of genealogy-related social media resources--and to add our own discoveries to pass along to others who are interested.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-32118333890477276352013-06-28T14:35:24.498-07:002013-06-28T14:35:24.498-07:00When you do, please let us know your Twitter handl...When you do, please let us know your Twitter handle so we can all be in touch!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-69286078059369804012013-06-28T07:21:11.862-07:002013-06-28T07:21:11.862-07:00Thank you, Jacqi.

There are a lot of helpful points to be considered.<br /><br />Please do come back and post a link here to your blog post when you write about how you are using Twitter.

I like the way one group put it: don't say anything on a social media site that you wouldn't want your boss or your mother to read.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-87317529611897834542013-06-27T22:32:36.968-07:002013-06-27T22:32:36.968-07:00Far Side, what I neglected to say is that I am mor...Far Side, what I neglected to say is that I am more likely to use Twitter, personally, on my desktop computer.

Where would I be without Twitter? I simply don't know and shutter to think of not having it around to use. I'm going to follow your lead and blog about my use of Twitter and other tools sometime this summer. Again, thank you!

I usually check several times a day (I do have a life away from computers), post my blog details on Twitter, follow specific events (e.g., RootsTech, GenChat, etc.) in specific columns on TweetDeck. Yup - I may be 70, but I love love love technology!
