Oh, my, I am the techy one, with a computer science degree and a day job in software, but I don’t get twitter and plunk yet. It is just a time thing, I guess, it is hard enough to find time to read and post. (It is 12:21am now and my first meeting in the morning is 6:30am.)

But I get the part about women and social media. That makes sense, thanks for writing about it.

I am still not convinced.

Ah, we still have a ways to go to hit the mainstream. I attended a family brunch today and my sister-in-law was trying to explain to her brother just what it is I spend my time doing:

“Karen, she writes stuff on the internet, it’s called a blog and it’s basically a website where she writes articles and then she uses some software to spread it around.”

Oh boy…

Most of the moms I know are not sucked into the internet vortex. I think we’re still kind of fringy.

i love sarah, and i love you , too.
unfortunately, my twitter has been cheating on me.
i have that little update box in my sidebar, but it will only post updates from some random dude that i don’t know.

i feel betrayed.

I am also a non-techie, late to blogging (and all that other stuff I didn’t really understand) kind of mommyblogger.

I’m trying Twitter but most of my friends can’t find more than 5 or 10 minutes to go online. They don’t have time for it.

I’ve looked at Plurk and don’t really understand it.

My husband says I’ll be wanting an iPhone next. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Wonder what actually happens at the BlogHer conference? Is it mostly bout advertising? A lot of blogger seem to be hawking stuff in their posts.

I’ve only been blogging a month - one lousy month - but I already feel part of something bigger. Oh so corny that sounds, but it’s true. I feel like the Mom friends I’ve made a really that - friends.

YOU GO GIRLS!

I am one of those self admitted non-techy Mommybloggers. I was also dragged kicking and screaming to Twitter. I still have yet to Plurk.
I love this post. I am a reader of Sarah’s blog. And while I am very interested in the idea of “dominating the social media sphere”, most days I am satisfied just to find my car keys.
Perhaps I should take a page from Sarah’s book (or blog as the case may be) and try to throw down with the big boys with all this techy stuff.
Any tech-tutors available for free lessons?
