I know Peter's secret, but if I tell you, I will have to kill you.

I'm sorry, but I will tell the secret. Don will then have to kill us both but it's worth the risk,

What you don't know about Peter... He did these self-portraits up against a fence one time... now the ladies can't get enough of him.

I don't have nearly that many, and most of mine are spambots. I'd be jealous if I could figure out what Twitter is for!

Hahaha, lmao! Peter did tell us, at a workshop, how he did it (well, at the time he was close to like 20k), but I didn't have the slightest clue what he was even talking about lol.

The thing about twitter (sorry Brad, gotta pick on you!) is that I don't 'get' it - Brad will post stuff to his face book that has all these funky things at the end. It's like text speak I just don't 'get'.

I've been signing up to follow all of you 'big shots' since yesterday. Although I wont be regularly updating my own twitter for another week or two. I'm still waiting to get my iphone...

I found out the thing at the end is a link for the rest of the post. I posted something on my facebook fan page yesterday and only 140 characters were posted. When I clicked the link, it brought me back to my fanpage poste to finish reading it.

... unless your talking about something else.

Actually, those are usually search tags, primarily for Twitter. I changed the way I do things on Facebook, so that doesn't happen as often anymore. (Now, if it happens its either accidental or I was lazy.)

One of the secrets is to look at how many people he's following.

True. I've all but given up TV. Not much lost there.

Ya, I'm not that interested in them. Most don't have any money to spend on me.

AHHHH!!!!! That makes sense!

I haven't jumped on the Twitter bandwagon yet - mainly cause I do photography 'part-time' and the rest of my time is 'mom/employee' stuff that I'm not really sure I 'want' the whole dang planet following. *grin*

Not just lack of money, we're all convinced it would be "fun, easy and rewarding" to take self-portraits.

Do you take checks?

After about three months on Twitter, I have found it more interesting and fun to follow others than be followed. I'm just not that interesting. LOL
