As for Twitter I have a tendency to avoid it. I occasionally check it out when I get those "see what's happening in the world" emails from them. My problem with it has always been the 140 character limit. That and when someone you are following goes an a Twitter binge for 50+ posts and all you see on your feed is that person going on and on about some boring thing that makes you wonder why you started following them in the first place. I follow some card collectors on Twitter but like on Facebook I have not made any trades on those venues. For me they don't seem like a card trading source, I use them for other purposes.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-9221549410350113202017-02-21T06:13:27.762-05:002017-02-21T06:13:27.762-05:00Agree with you on n Twitter.

I'm glad that you find other collectors that make it worthwhile.<br /><br />It looks like the card show will be in Syracuse in mid-March. Maybe I'll have to check my schedule so that I can try to fly in or out of Syracuse when I go see my mom in March. Would you be up to seeing if the set is still available cheap?Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652380890985105416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-17790533566015679712017-02-20T22:34:47.128-05:002017-02-20T22:34:47.128-05:00There are free cards to be had on Twitter?

The main draw of Twitter for me is that is where the athletes post...sure, some occasionally do Facebook, but not many. And now last week I tried to change my profile picture on Twitter and it wouldn't let me, it put a boring white square in it's place. I've tried several times to fix it but no luck.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-33173533204037963892017-02-20T21:33:56.620-05:002017-02-20T21:33:56.620-05:00Love the Drysdale.

Aside from not knowing whether I'd have anything to tweet beyond "Hey, I've got a post up today!", I also feared the dysfunctional poopstorm you talk about at the beginning. The other part, the nice part, seems worthwhile, even if I just end up lurking in the background.<br /><br />At any rate, it's given me more to think about, and that's always a good thing from a post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
