I love twitter too! I feel I have a much better idea of what is happening in the book world since I started watching it.

I hope you enjoy Watching the English – it will be interesting to see what someone from outside the country thinks about it.

What great links! I’ve saved my name on Twitter, but haven’t actually gone beyond that. I know I will at some point, I’m just not sure when. ;) Thanks!

Loved this! I do love Twitter for just the reasons you say. I know it can be distracting, but that’s because it really is a great resource.

I like the links you found for me. I’m still leery of messing around much with Twitter. Once I get on it is hours and hours before I look up again. Now I hardly ever get on.

Wonderful feature Belle. I am always running across great things I want to share, but don’t get the time. I like that tip about e-mailing yourself. I might have to try that out if I remember it.

I just recently began using Facebook and that was sort of under duress. I don’t have a cell phone, don’t use Twitter, hate the telephone (should have been born BEFORE Alexander Graham Bell), and don’t even listen to audio books. I read actual printed books – love the feel of them, the smell of them, the fonts, the occasional illustration, etc. So call me old-fashioned – it fits.

Me too! I really miss it when I don’t have time to pop in – I find even just five or ten minutes usually nets me some interesting links.

Those worksheets look so good – I’m itching to try them. And I actually have the Book in a Month book somewhere on my writing books shelf (just never got around to reading it – that falls in the “so what else is new” category).

I’m hoping the popovers taste as good as they look!

My Twitter motto is to follow well (broadly speaking) and follow wisely :) There are so many interesting people on Twitter – I never would have guessed!

Some of the lunches sound mighty yummy, I have to say!

I just drop in whenever I have a moment, and that seems to work so well.

Also, if you follow people whose Twitter pages and updates look interesting, you end up seeing some interesting links in your Twitter stream, so one thing is to not stick to just book people and publishers. The more the merrier, I say :)
