I enjoy blogging on the group blogs (like the LoveCats! :D) But I'm not sure about having my very own blog - keeping up with my website is hard enough! LOL<br /><br />I feel a bit at sea with Facebook and *completely* out of my depth with Twitter!

I'm sorry I haven't been in sooner - as I think you all know there's been a disaster here in New Zealand and we're very busy coping with the terrible fallout from that. In one way, however, its been an incredible example of how important social media can be - real time news/information coming through Twitter etc and also the unbelievable power of Facebook in terms of rallying and organising volunteers to help the clean-up effort in our beloved Christchurch -have you heard of the student volunteer army? Its *amazing*. So yes, do NOT underestimate the power of social media. Cool to see lots of bloggers here - I enjoy reading blogs, but struggle to find time to write much for my own... maybe one day, but they can be so awesome.<br /><br />Had to laugh Calisa - we don't have our TV plugged into the aerial - it is only used as a screen for DVDs - KILL the telly I say - that's all good writing time... for me it's movies that feed the soul - I like getting the whole story in around 2 hours and not much more ;)Natalie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865508188630650384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212609737973215552.post-6370179312216923042011-03-01T13:49:06.198+13:002011-03-01T13:49:06.198+13:00Thanks Nas!
