But, actually, it's a wonderful resource for info, contacts and sharing - and fun!

To be honest, it was a throwaway gag in the panel discussion. I always think it's good to get people to laugh during a serious talking shop - like a sip of water when you're working out. Goodness knows, when I'm in the audience, I'm thankful for a chuckle. *grin* I knew someone was going to pick me up on the grumpy thing. To be honest, it was a throwaway gag in the panel discussion.

Especially religious books. And books on etiquette, curiously enough. Great article. I don't know why people are so afraid of social media. I think it's been over-branded or something. I would like Twitter a lot more if more of my friends were on it! Grumpy people do shop for books, I can vouch for that. Especially religious books. And books on etiquette, curiously enough.

Great article. I don’t know why people are so afraid of social media. I think it’s been over-branded or something. I would like Twitter a lot more if more of my friends were on it!

Hmm, yes. Good point. Excellent article. I've never sorted my website out (beyond a blog) because I've struggled to know what to put on it. The point about content seems so simple and obvious, but it isn't - I'm going to sort it out forthwith. “…you have to be sensitive to tone, and listen a bit before you jump in.”
