whatever

Natasha - Twitter and FB are VERY different… FB is more static, whereas Twitter is an ongoing conversation (think telephone party line, but without the creepy, scuzzy connotation). Should you be on twitter? Depends what you hope to gain…
I loved FB from the moment I started. I like that your profile page is your landing point to post photos and let friends know what’s going on in your life. By contrast, I’ve found Twitter most useful when I’m at a public event/location or watching something major on tv (e.i. Royal Wedding, news-worthy item, current episode of American Idol) and I want to know what others think about it, right now, as it’s happening…
In general, I’ve found that with Twitter I don’t use my “profile” as the primary point of interaction, like I would with FB; instead, I use the search feature. You can search any topic under the sun that you would want to have a conversation about. Most often I can just throw in my 2 cents with a tweet, but sometimes I’ll also respond to something someone else has said.
Did that make sense? If not, just email me, and I’ll try to say it better!

Whitney S - I have Twitter, but to be honest I am not sure what the point of it is. Maybe I just am not funny enough 🙂
It doesn’t matter if you’re not “ripped” after 30 days- at least you’re doing it. I did Slim in 6 from Beach Body and noticed some results, but not the results they said I would. I guess it depends on what your definition of “ripped” is 🙂
AND I love Both Parenthoods too! When he loses his retainer it makes me think back to searching for mine in the McDonald’s trash again- Steve Martin is a lot funnier looking for it than my dad! 🙂

Corinne - Im sure you’re kicking some major bootie in your jillian workout!
I had to weigh in on the twitter…umm, maybe not…bc if you tweeted I would have to join to see your awesome tweets…and well, I don’t really want to understand the whole twitter craze…so its for selfish reason! 😉
either way…love love your blog…thank you for letting into your fun life and your creative ideas!
Enjoy your weekend!

Holly - Laughing at your Jillian video because I have been ignoring her lately. I need to talk with her though because my junk food habit is kicking my booty!

Alicia @ La Famille - i was doing jullian’s 30 day shred…maybe i should try yours…looks like it’s going well 🙂 definately do another video…very cool! and i don’t have a clue what twitter is/does. seems like another time zapper 🙂 ha!!

betsy - Have to give my 2 cents on Twitter … I’m on it & share more there than I do on my (writing) blog or FB these days. Even if you don’t share a lot on Twitter, it’s a nice way to find people that have the same interests as you do: crafts, photography, kids, sewing, charity, etc. and then share ideas and support.
I’d definitely follow you … but if you feel like you’re overwhelmed with what is already on your plate, then it might not be for you.
I DO have to tell you that I’m L-O-V-I-N-G that you’ve had a new post every day for quite some time. I come from work each night and check all of my Top Sites on my MBP that are updated … in order from sort-of care about, to like to read, to LOVE to read as the last ones I check. I always check your blog updates right before I check updates about my niece on my sister’s blog.
Keep it up!
P.S. Thank goodness Spring has finally decided to show up in Kansas 🙂

Necole - Twitter is fun. It is just another way to express yourself. I wish I knew what it was like to need a sports bra. Nothing has ever gotten in my way but my bug butt. Parenthood is such a great movie.

Routhie - Don’t waste your time. I was on twitter ages ago and it was only fun when a few friends were on, which was usually a holiday. Otherwise, it’s lost on anyone who actually has things to get done during the day. Prolly why so many celebs are on. I had friends who would think it funny to tweet about 60 times in a row. That got old and it took longer to see what other friends were tweeting. FB is distracting enough.

Terrie - 1. Love that I’m excited about the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie from your drawing on Jillian.
2. Loved the ‘normalness’ of the video…Mad Mommy…LOL!!
3. Lucky Jennifer…but even LUCKIER Sergey!!
4. I don’t get Twitter…but I love facebook! I can interact with many peeps I wouldn’t normally get to stay connected with.
5. Almost missed the gatorade giveaway
6. I’ll get right online and get my Summer mag order in! 🙂
Enjoy your movie…I’m going to catch up on Grey’s & Private Practice while doing a pedi. I’ve spent the whole day watching the royal wedding. Now I’m going to catch up on some other dvr’d goodies while the men are out of the house! Have a great weekend!!

Michelle from Australia - I’m not a fan of Twitter. To me blogs are written with purpose. Twitter isn’t. Just my thought for what it is worth….

Mindy Harris - meg–i too would spend the $100 on 1.5 sports bras.
i am on twitter but don’t spend alot of time on it. it’s just another way for me to network as i grow my blog. and you can be a bit more confident (ballsy–sorry to use that word) on there because you know you may never meet the people.
i follow brook burke on twitter and tweet to her. she never writes back but at least she knows a kansas girl finds her beautiful and inspiring (she’s a good mom and eats right).
happy wknd!

Kacey - Well, I’m really not one to be offering advice, given that I didn’t make it through the full 30 days myself, but I say go for it and don’t worry if it’s supposed to be 30 days in a row. You’ll feel accomplished and you’ll feel better physically. Me, I’m a wimp and I’m going to stick with my fat-burning Pilates, which I actually love. That reminds me…
Have a lovely weekend!
Kacey
P.S. I’m on the fence about Twitter. I can’t keep up and my life is too boring for regular updates about what I’m doing (same thing with Facebook) but I’m there anyway. I just tweet occasionally when there’s something worth tweeting about!

Linda@Restyled Home - Don’t waste your time with Twitter. it is boring…truly. An outlet for way too much randomness, if you ask me.
Or maybe I jsut haven’t really figured it out. I don’t know. I jsut know that there are enough time suckers and it will infringe upon your being such a fun mum. Real life is so much more fun!
Love your Gillian Micheals doodles. Especially the angry belly button. It is probably saying, “feed me!” ;0)

alyssa - I stopped reading this post so I could say this. Her boobs hang out all the time. It drives me nuts. Maybe you should use your gift card to get her a bra!

julia - Didn’t want to be a downer but I have a 30 vid of Jillian’s and it totally bulked me up and I didn’t lose any weight. She actually says in her video that your muscles will get bigger and that your bigger leg muscles will make your ankles look smaller (IKIDYOUNOT).
I do posts titled “I don’t do Twitter, but if I did,this is what I would Tweet”

janene - I like twitter–not as universal as FB (which I quit eight weeks ago and don’t miss: )–can check out posts of people I follow…don’t have all the family/friends following and I can just keep up or check out what friends in the blogosphere are up to.

Sophie - I think you should get a Twitter and give it a go! You can just tweet things about your day and talk to all your readers and stuff. I make it sound boring, but it’s really not. I’d follow you!
Also, I’ve talked to some of my favourite celebrities on there (the best one being Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, who is pretty much my idol) so it’s a great opportunity to talk to your favourite stars.
Danielle should feel so blessed that you helped to raise so much for Sergey. I donated $80, and ended up winning Charlaanne’s pink flower pin which was unexpected. Totally not why I donated, obviously, but a nice surprise none the less.
The video was super cute and I can’t wait to see more! (:

georgia - I think Jillians dvd is for 30days, but 30 workouts would be the same im guessing as you only doi it once a day… ?
Im just getting round to the Twitter idea.. its like facebook but you can only write status’s and reply to other peoples, like celebritys, friends etc
Did you see the royal wedding on tv? made me feel totally patriotic was nice watching it on tv..
