I can't quite get the pace and point yet. You seem to be doing OK, any tips? I am afraid I might be too old for twitter. I can’t quite get the pace and point yet. You seem to be doing OK, any tips?

For some reason, she has this old lady grouped in with her young friends! At first it made me uncomfortable following her and the others she follows, like too much information or verging on peeping tom. But I tentatively entered a few twitters of my own, which delighted her no end. I find the restrictions on characters a good discipline for my usual wordy self. And it is fun to pop in and see her latest rant or observation and occasionally even contact her directly - it's sort of like IMing I think. The one thing I did not do was make myself public - only she sees what I write. But she was bolder and has garnered a boyfriend out of it. Ah youth!
