It’s a commitment! I have been chatting on the Internet for 15 years. #fact. Since its inception there have always been tools to communicate on the net, however the last year or so it has gone mental: In a good way.

Cuddles in the Park!

It was a cold and not particularly comfortable venue but last Thursday night was brilliant! An eclectic mix of intelligent, fun and authentic humans gathered in a park to have a happy time… at least I can speak for myself on that count: and I am sure others too – and [...]

Underground Twitter!

I am sitting on the tube starting this blog. The carriage is pretty full but everyone has a seat. If this was twitter or Facebook then I would probably be able to start chatting to someone randomly and even learn a bit about them before I begin talking to them. I could effectively [...]

CarolVerity — Tue, 24 May 2011 12:24:54 +0000

Community matters…

“How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people — first of all for those upon [...]

“What can twitter do for me? What does it do for you?
Do you really ‘get’ it… or just pretend you do?
