Anybody know how to tweet???

Birds do lol . . .

What in the Heaven above is Twitter?? I keep hearing about it.

Twitter is like texting kinda. You post every since detail of your life and a bunch of peple read it immediately. Twitter may be good for Cherub families with babies in NICU. Twitter is like blogging on steroids. It has been around for over a year. I got all this info from my teenagers. I can barely text.

:rotfl: I come to CHERUBS for my daily dose of laughter now!

I signed up but can't figure it out...

I'm technologically challenged so will have no chance figuring out how to use twitter in one day. But I've come up with a line if someone can twit it for me.

"Help save the most fragile babies in NICUs worldwide; help fund research on the cause and better treatments for CDH (cdhsupport.org).

Thank you, Tracy! Thank you everyone! Margaret, love that line! :)

I tried but I don't know what I'm doing!

Lynne I think it's time to recruit the younger generation - your daughters might need to twit for us lol!

I have just signed up... Is everyone following Dawn?? I'm not too sure how to find everyone?
my name is shazauscherubs

Am I supposed to send a direct message? I'll try to find you...I'm mayestra12

I can't find anybody! I thought this was supposed to be easy? I'm guess I could ask my high school students! They know everything!!! LOL

Karla, I tried looking for you... can't find you :(

All these random people are following me!

LOL stalkers!! Hey Shaz - you are a hott mamma! No wonder they are following you!

I don't get it! Do you "twitter" through your phone? I will have to check this out.

tweet tweet
It most funny that high schoolers know how to do it and we can't figure it out!

Hugh Jackman picked his charities today. He picked two and split the $100K. They went to:

Operation of Hope is a not-for-profit medical foundation started in 1989 to perform facial surgeries on poor children around the world. Operation of Hope is an all-volunteer medical team that donates surgeries to children in developing countries born with facial deformities. For more information, please visit operationofhope.org.

Charity: Water is a non-profit initiative based in New York City focused on bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. Founded in 2006, charity: water has helped fund 1,247 projects, in 14 countries bringing clean, safe water to 669,045 people. For more information, please visit charitywater.org.

We all may have been late with our "tweets", for when I left my messages, there was a tweet that stated they had started reviewing the submissions and the winners would be notified on Friday. Hopefully, we got some CDH awareness out there in the twitter world!!

Thanks Tracy, I got on there too but had no idea if I did it right!!! My name is 'originally' DanielleGolding...hope someone finds me....except the stalkers!

I've just joined up to skype and have a few stalkers there too....scary!

Your new avatar is so cute Dani :-) I have used Skype for years and never had a stalker. I have my name as Kessner Family so that might put a few people off???

Danielle - did you see that I'd requested you to be my 'skype' friend or however it works?? I'm still new at this...
