Antisocial networking

Good morning readers. There are not many of you but there have been a few. Whosoever you may be, welcome. Since you see fit to read my words I shall continue to write them. There is afterall a certain narcissistic pleasure to be had from emptying the contents of my mind onto the screen in front of me.
I have never been a great one for social networking. I am on the whole a grumpy and antisocial individual who gets on best with similarly minded sorts.
In order to put oneself out there however it is necessary to roll up one's trousers and wade into the mire of on-line chattery places.Once in this unfamiliar environment I, silver-tongued wordsmith that I am, find myself at a complete loss as to what to say and spend more time actually trying to work out what other people are writing. When I do come across an interesting topic and think of something terribly clever to say, I then notice that the last activity on this particular thread (see I'm learning the lingo) was in 2009.
Perhaps I will fair better on Twitter I think to myself.
Twitter is wonderful place. Everyone who is anyone is on there and you can talk to anybody you like. Here people who you have actually heard of will quite happily chat to people they have never heard of. I would never go up to someone well known in the street and tell them that I liked their work or engage them in conversation. It would be a gross invasion of their privacy. I know a lot of people probably do go up to them but that's not me. On twitter you can do that without getting in their face, interrupting their day and accidentally spilling their latte.
This blogging lark is the best forum for me though. On here I write, you read, end of. No need to be socialable. Of course if you do leave me a message (usual suspects not-withstanding) I shall be terribly excited.SBJ
