23 Things Day 7: Twitter

My Twitter account has been in lock down for about 2 years. I rarely tweeted anyone other than my friends. I have set up lists: News services and clued up people. People who make me laugh.

Writing a little something for 23ThingsEdUni

Last week I signed up for the 23 things project at Edinburgh Uni. It looked like something fun I could do while still expanding what I know about the world. I will admit that I’m not fond of collaborating online with strangers ( although its part of my job to encourage others to do so), … Continue reading Writing a little something for 23ThingsEdUni →
