An Eagles View: Facebook, Twitter, Blog, Oh My!

You -my faithful readers have submitted your questions. I must honor my promise to flip open the pages of this book. Today I begin answering your questions.

The ever funny and charming Ms. Dawn has asked:

"Which do you like best...Facebook, Twitter, Blog?"

They are so different in so many ways. I like them all. I favor blogging over the rest, followed closely by Facebook. I much prefer the creativity that blogging allows me. Yet, Facebook has its own hidden treasures. Which brings us to Twitter. I like it, it was fun while it lasted. But alas, I gave it up. Especially when I discovered Facebook. It lost its luster once I discovered Facebook.

"What is your favorite time of day to blog?"

I am not biased against time, I like to blog ALL.THE.TIME. Obviously, that is not an option, although I try every chance I get. I do however prefer to blog first thing in the morning and then again before I go to bed. As for reading others blogs, I spread that out over the course of my day (if I am sitting at my desk). I read two or three blogs at a time, leave comments and then come back in a few hours. It helps to break up my day.

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.

Cassie , 08 April, 2009 08:29: I like twitter and facebook. I use facebook to keep in touch with my real life friends and twitter for my bloggy buddies.
Fiauna , 08 April, 2009 08:46: I have a love/hate thing with Facebook. Don't know anything about Twitter (and I'm trying to avoid it). Blogging takes up most of my computer time. I need to find a way of balancing my addiction vs. my responsibilities.
Kristina P. , 08 April, 2009 09:28: Like Fiauna, I have a love/hate with Facebook. And I only check it like once a week.

I hate Twitter. But, I am doing a celebrity Twitter post on Friday, so stay tuned!
Debbie , 08 April, 2009 12:29: I still don't understand twitter at all. Facebook is OK but I'm not hooked.
Now blogging? There's the addiction:)
trublubyu , 08 April, 2009 16:05: i like the q&a thing. it is cool to get to know your inner feelings on the fb, twitter, blogging issue.
Dawn Parsons Smith , 08 April, 2009 18:23: I am honored that you chose to answer my questions first!!!! I bow to you, Queen!

I feel the way you do about blogging. I still haven't done the whole facebook or twitter things yet...I have accounts for them, just never pursued them...
Bonnie the Boss , 08 April, 2009 18:37: I am with you on the Blog/Face book thing. I am avoiding twitter like the plague.
Lee , 08 April, 2009 18:49: I've never twittered a day in my life.
And I prefer myspace to facebook, as I've said before!
Anonymous , 08 April, 2009 19:11: I hop on and off just like you do. But nobody is here so I have a little more on than I should.
Country Mouse, City Mouse , 08 April, 2009 19:11: I am the same about blogging. I blog in the morning and again at night. It is hard to stay away.
Unknown , 09 April, 2009 09:55: I have to say I have yet to jump onto the Facebook bandwagon. I have a hard enough time trying to keep myself away from the computer as it is when I want to get things done. Maybe one day...
Donna , 09 April, 2009 10:56: I'm like you, I too prefer to write my blog posts in the morning. That's a good idea to read a few blogs at a time to help break up the day.
I've been thinking about Twitter lately, pretty sure I don't want to join it, and you've sealed the deal for me. Facebook is good enough!
Jessica G. , 09 April, 2009 17:20: I kinda wished I hadn't started on Facebook because now I can't seem to stop!
Jen , 09 April, 2009 21:01: Great choice! I prefer Facebook because it's short, sweet, and I can reach so many people at once. But I love blogging because I can have a more indepth knowledge of what's happening in other people's lives. Twitter...I didn't get into it, so I deleted it!
Jo , 14 April, 2009 19:20: Not big into the twitter thing personally, although I like to read other people's twitters on their blogs. I have the same preference, blogging, followed closely by Facebook.
