Can we talk?

Tweeting

         I'm so technologically challenged. The social media is beyond my limited abilities. I do know how to post photos on Facebook, and I actually check it out 3 or 4 times a week. Mostly I just "like" other people's posts or photos.I get to keep up with a few cousins, 2nd cousins, and former co-workers.

         Tonight, I updated my Twitter account. I opened it in 2009, made a post that day and haven't looked at it since. I had to change the password. The surprising part is that it told me I'm following 17 people I either don't care about or never heard of. It also showed me a number of followers, mostly advertisers. I don't understand. Facebook I get. You allow friends to look at your page and you can look at theirs. Twitter I don't get. It goes right over my head.

         Then there's Pinterest and a number of other things. I want to know for my small business and for my church. I feel like I have to catch up and learn these things. Too bad there's no free class for "social media nerds", mostly us older folks. Then there's a number of hardware things for preserving data on the go and at your own desk. I'm told my computer is slow, not because I need a new computer or that anything is wrong with my service, but I have too much data. With writing, and photos, go figure, too much data. But there's still plenty of memory space!

         My head is spinning. I need a Tylenol.
