Loud Twitter is just a feed of your 'tweets' to your journal. I don't use it because anybody who wants to hear what I have to say on Twitter follows me on there already anyway so, unfortunately, I can't help you with loud twitter.

Do you use Firefox? There's a firefox addon for Twitter that keeps the notification on the bottom bar of your browser. I can see that there are tweets to be ready from there and also post with one click.

i do use firefox, but is the twitter something that connects people to each other just like facebook or myspace?? with the updates?

i guess what i want is loudtwitter then... i was hoping this was something that could update all of my pages simultaneously!! like a myspace, facebook, and lj all in one. i might just have to try the loud twitter again...

With loud twitter you still need to post updates via twitter and then Loud Twitter will broadcast it for you. Since I don't use it, I don't know how many different blogs you can update.

Twitter is a social networking system but it's different from facebook or myspace. You have a 140 character limit for updates. Tweets are really just short blurbs. A lot of people post some inane stuff nobody really cares about, LOL. Which is why a lot of people say they hate Twitter.

Anyway, their here is their help page, which can probably answer your questions better than I ever could: http://help.twitter.com/portal

I do not twitter, as of yet.
I just now read your updated profile.
I am so sorry for your loss. You really seem to have bounced back pretty well. I will try to figure out the furshlugginer quiz on fb soon.
Will you try to have other children?
How do you cope?
I wish I could hug you right about now.
<3

awe thanks for the hug :) i actually plan to post it again, it's a hard year to raise funds for charity... so many are hurting financially themselves.

the only thing that makes it any easier and any harder is always time and memory, i try to focus more on what is versus what could have been... it seems to help. plus the fund raising is very therapeutic to me. i feel like my son accomplished something when we've raised money to help other babies have their full 9 months to develop, it's a chance he didn't get but can give to others. it means a hell of a lot to me... it makes me feel like my son is there with me most of all when i take that walk. the hardest day of the year is still groundhog's day... the day i lost my son.

i do want to have at least 2 children someday... i want to be a stay at home mom too, but i don't believe that will ever happen!! money is always the issue. right now i'm just trying to get my debts paid off so that i can justify trying again one day...
