This is really good information. I have a shop online and I know how important it is to meet others with similar interests. It helps to motivate to keep creating for the site.

I have to confess, I was rather envious of your recent meetup with the girls. I recently met a blogger in real life, for the first time. It was such a great day. Melanies last blog post..Wrapped, Packed and Away!

@ Diana: It still confuses me a bit, but I thinks it's pretty groovy. I have managed to 'meet' some new folks. I guess it's all about spending enough time on it to figure it out with out spending too much time on that you get to live a life!

@ Barbara Ling: I'm with your there. As in everything, I think balance is the key. Karate must be a great stress buster!

Thanks for this well timed post Lisa. I find the whole social media thing daunting and like Rosalie, I definitely don't get Twitter( but haven't given up) I am working my round things a little at at time to avoid that overwhelm feeling. i've just got my head round Technorati but once the tools are mastered they are real cool tools for networking. oges last blog post..

Good to see you are now on twitter. It confuses me as well and is more time consuming for me than my blog. But we have to keep up with what is out there.

Hey, thanks for the link!

I’m so thankful that they’ve finally gotten the farmer’s market going here in my small town–it’s really the only crafty place that’s happening.

I really enjoy Twitter to help get me vaguely out in the online world. In real life, however, any free time I have I much prefer to spend either with my husband, kids, or sparring at adult karate.

Excitement, thy name is Ling.

@ Marr Williams:

I agree on all counts, I think social media is important, but I think it’s wise to be selective and consistent. I’m liking the sound of centralised apps for SM. hey do you fancy doing a guest post on here on CraftBoom about them

ummm…yeah…forgot the rest of my comment. I am adding social media a little at a time and see my traffic from those sites growing. Traffic from forums that I post to regularly is waning though because I am spending more time on other social sites. It’s definitely time consuming but well worth it. It gets easier as you learn more about it and there are new apps being created to help you centralize all of your social media endeavors.

Hi! I am following you on Twitter. I read this blog every day and love what you’re doing. Great job! I can’t believe you are just joining Twitter!
