I definitely wouldn't be able to use it as a replacement for Google Read like you do. I wish I could figure out how to use Twitter more effectively though. So many people rave about it as a way to solidify relationships with other bloggers, but I'm a #twitterfailure ;p<br /><br />- JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-56464467255290707062013-03-11T18:51:25.578-04:002013-03-11T18:51:25.578-04:00Maybe it's just not for you.

With twitter, I always feel like I either have nothing important to say or I'm intruding on other people's conversations if I speak up. It's kind of silly. I really do feel like I'm missing out on something great though - I want to be a part of the fun, too! I should really just get over myself and my fear.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-79594085561615683352013-03-09T19:05:56.989-05:002013-03-09T19:05:56.989-05:00That is exactly how I have been using Twitter.

I "like" blog pages and publisher and author FB pages, but I'm not on there much. I have a lot of fun with Pinterest. I'm on Google + and I think that may get more interesting but right now I'm not sure how to use it.<br />Does Goodreads count? I love Goodreads.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-22909088283959599372013-03-09T03:13:31.383-05:002013-03-09T03:13:31.383-05:00I do not like google+ at all.

For me, there are some bloggers who have really awesome blogs and are great writers, but I don't normally like the type of books they read, etc, and tend to scroll past those reviews. I like following those particular bloggers on twitter because I can still click through when they write their awesome discussion posts, but my reader isn't overwhelmed with well-written, but not interesting to me, reviews. Plus, I've had a few great conversations on twitter.

I'm already there and a link will pop up so I click on it. I'm less inclined to go to my feedreader.<br /><br />I also find more varied posts that way.

My feedreader is always so clogged that I usually avoid it unless I want to search for something specific. Terrible I know, but I just can't deal with it all. I use Tweetdeck with several Lists to manage me feed, and it makes it so much easier to break everything down without it becoming overwhelming.
