Thursday Twitter - 1/2/14 (Part 3)

Finally all caught up on Twitter, following yesterday's post, and I must say that as I follow more people and it takes me a bit longer to digest the week that went past, it is becoming crystal clear just how much I learn from all the people in my circle!  I would encourage each and every one of you to start following as many people as you can, starting with those I pass along that you see sharing things along your interests week after week so you can get more out of social media.  For about a year my blog was the only output, and other blogs the only input but the addition of Twitter has really lead to a lot of great interactions both ways!
