You mean you can actually get Raul to stop tweeting long enough to instruct a class on it? How do you do it? ;-)

Ditto what Archie said. It is obvious I need training to keep up with the advances in technology.

I’m not sure you follow all the comments at azahar’s, so I wanted to come over here to tell you thanks for posting all those links to the Twitter explanations on YouTube. They were very useful for me, and I think I have a better grasp of what the tool is good for. I’m not sure I’ll get on it, but I’m considering it.

Thanks. Twitter’s not for everyone and I would never try to talk anyone into trying it, but I’m happy to explain what it does for me at least. I’m making $400 this Saturday from it, so it can’t be all bad!
