   lol…i know exactly how you feel. i have just joined the blogging community and i really have no idea what im doing. wouldnt it be nice if everything was written in english instead?

   Maria says: you’ll get the hang of it … when I started, I had a “real” blog and a test blog where I get to screw up things so I don’t have to do it on my “real” blog. Just keep at it and soon enough you’ll be dishing out blogging advices yourself =)

   I actually have a Twitter account too, but I find it very limiting and …boring. I would rather visit good blogs like this one and read what you have been doing.

   I have one of the widgets from twitter set on my personal blog, so when I “twitter” when I’m away from home (text message from my phone) it posts to my blog’s sidebar under “Twitter”. It allows me to make brilliant comments like “Wow, there’s a line outside and it’s 11 degrees! Brrr!” or “Hmmm, Guinness or whiskey, which shall I chose?” and then 5 minutes later text: “Both!” You can see the sidebar widget in action in one of its forms on Wil Wheaton’s blog, on the right hand side bar if you scroll down a bit: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/

   I also use it as a quick in-touch tool for some friends of mine who live across the country from me. But unless you have other friends using it, or love the idea of posting short (funny?) updates to your site from your phone, its usefulness may be limited. Check out the twitter pages of Wil Wheaton [sorry to use him twice, but I know he uses it, heh], Xeni Jardin, or Warren Ellis for some ideas on how they use it (they all use foul language, in case that bothers you, but it will still give you the idea).

   If you get enough of your friends on it, you can have the twitters sent directly to your cell, to get them as while you’re out and about. (You can set your preferences on people individually — so you can follow tons of people but only have one or two of them sent directly to your phone.) I haven’t bothered with this feature yet, I’m happy to read up from the computer instead.

   Sorry to prattle on so long, but I hope I’ve been some help. Good luck!

   Maria says: thanks! it is helpful =)
