Teaching a old dog new tricks.

Twitter, I don't understand the workings of it but have seen the power that it has.

I finally after a long time decided to get a twitter account to see what it's about. Still don't fully understand it or how the tweets work but it is doing something for me.

Whenever I post a story on my website, I have a program that automatically tweets it for me to my twitter account and as soon as I post the story it goes to twitter and depending on the time of day people veiwing my website skyrockets!

No one ever joins or comments but going by this trend at least I know people are seeing what is posted.

Maybe one of these days when I am more tech savy & understand what I have, I'll understand how to better use it.

Just thought I would share some random thoughts.
