I’ve been invited to Twitter and to Plurk. I know I haven’t answered any of these, but I have a good reason ~ I’m an idiot.
For those of you who are already engage in this sort of activity, you’re light-years ahead of me. To me, a complete technology neophyte, these new gadgets, among others, scare the bejeezus out of me. If you, gentle reader, were the inviter, please understand that I wasn’t ignoring you, I was just trying to figure out this new level of surfing the etherworld.
These both sound like huge fun, but I have no idea how they work, or how to set it up. I also have my blog on Wordpress. If you’re a WP neighbor, you know that any widget that is Flash or Java Script just doesn’t work here. (Terrible that, being widget-ly disadvantaged) I’m not making fun, I really don’t know what to do with these.
I could put these widgets on my cre8Buzz profile, but I can only occasionally check that page during the day, and I really don’t want to neglect any more people. What if someone Twitters or Plurks me and I’m not there to answer? I’m totally lost here!
I’m a bad blogger.
If you have sent me an invitation and didn’t receive any reply to your RSVP, I’m sorry. I need to close my eyes, hold my nose and jump in. I’m just afraid that I will only sink to the bottom.

I can remember when I first started out with computers - and I was terrified of them. I had just gotten a new job, and I didn’t even know how to turn it on, much less use it.
Once I got the idea that I probably wouldn’t make it self-destruct, I started playing around - and that is the very best way to learn.
So do jump in! Go to twitter and plurk - read their getting started guides - see if that helps - enlist a friend to help….but I have a feeling it won’t be long and you’ll be swimming instead of sinking!

I agree with you 100%- I always see these things, but wouldn’t have the first clue what to do with it!

You’re not stupid or a bad blogger!
Twitter is pretty easy to figure out. Sign up and give it a shot!
Plurk, on the other hand, hasn’t been quite so easy for me.
