Twitter, too, though in a lesser fashion.<br /><br />Avery, I've often wondered why you're not on Facebook. I think it would be a great way for you to promote your book and your website (Twitter, too). Just get over your East Coast Cranky (tm) attitude about not wanting to be "friends" with everybody and set up an account already! ;)Nathan Branchhttp://www.nathanbranch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-18948181674143655802010-04-20T20:08:15.879-07:002010-04-20T20:08:15.879-07:00Anya:

Guess that leaves me and the Stat Monkeys to chronicle the Twilight of the Bloggers.<br /><br />There's some kind of force field that keeps me away from FB. Deep down I just don't want to be Kip Drordy's friend. Or water his wallpaper or whatever.<br /><br />Twitter seems like texting for hebephrenics.<br /><br />But if it boosts your business I'm totally for it.Avery Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104017679971839738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-12441771663386278632010-04-20T11:31:12.864-07:002010-04-20T11:31:12.864-07:00I've been so lazy about blogging.

My FB and Twitter following is in the high numbers, and that's where I'm sharing most of my blurbs. Tons of sales that way, too.anyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.com
