I have spent some time reading the postings of people, such as Cornflower, whose web-based social networking I admire greatly. I must say that I have not found any of it either useful or interesting. Now I am aware that for some purposes, such as rapidly disseminating information, it has a place. We use it at my University to warn people (students mainly) of, for example, unexpected early closing of the library.<br /><br />Do let us know if you are an avid fan in a couple of months and what aspect of it works well for you.Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-10180711902943463992010-05-13T07:33:03.015+01:002010-05-13T07:33:03.015+01:00I've been on Twitter for a while too but don&#...I've been on Twitter for a while too but don't 'tweet' much other than links to my posts! <br /><br />I'm now following you!Margaret (BooksPlease)http://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-2348785805427988142010-05-12T20:08:49.470+01:002010-05-12T20:08:49.470+01:00I've just thought, I could make single wrist w...I've just thought, I could make single wrist warmers = half as much knitting, because yes, it's only the mouse hand that suffers badly.Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-10930107065985366032010-05-12T20:05:05.104+01:002010-05-12T20:05:05.104+01:00I like reelmolesworth too, and have been following...I like reelmolesworth too, and have been following so it makes me laugh from time to time. And yes, I've wearing mittens since I complained, though I hate typring in them. I want to make wrist warmers for next winter that pull down over my hands but leave my fingers completely free for typing, but I don't find knitting very easy because of RSI. I've been amusing myself learning fimgerloop braiding instead, but it doesn't keep the hands warm!Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-89913801525334942132010-05-12T19:34:51.373+01:002010-05-12T19:34:51.373+01:00I remain a twitter-free zone but I can see the adv...I remain a twitter-free zone but I can see the advantages; I'm an avid follower of reelmolesworth, but on the web.<br />Cold hands?

And it's not just us, Canadian Studies is popular in Eastern Europe, and Australia and New Zealand and India share aspects of a colonial history with Canada...literature is the strongest area as postcolonial literature applies just about everywhere, but there's quite a lot of interest in things like reasonable accommodation and treaty negotiations.<br /><br />You may have gathered from all of this that I work in Canadian Studies. Funnily enough, when I tell people that, the only ones who are surprised are Canadians. This reminds me of the joke Atwood tells about getting Canadians out of a swimming pool :)Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-65447538553488360972010-05-11T21:24:51.259+01:002010-05-11T21:24:51.259+01:00As a Canadian Anglophile, I'm interested (and ...As a Canadian Anglophile, I'm interested (and slightly baffled) by your interest in Canadian literature and news. Where does your interest come from, if you don't mind me asking? Did you study Canadian literature? You seem quite knowledgeable about it! Canada just seems like such an arbitrary country to be interested in! :P <br /><br />I enjoy your blog, btw!liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-70950324060688509422010-05-11T18:16:23.180+01:002010-05-11T18:16:23.180+01:00Jenny, it's funny how things work for one pers...Jenny, it's funny how things work for one person and not necessarily for another. For instance, I just can't get on with Facebook, though I know quite a few people who love it.<br /><br />Hannah, give it a go! and if you do, let me know and you can assured of a follower straight away. (Oh, I like that - you know how in Edwardian books young women going into service are always told by the dragon of a housekeeper "And I don't allow no followers!" accompanied by a sniff.)Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-47455377800836561902010-05-11T18:09:56.383+01:002010-05-11T18:09:56.383+01:00Hmmmm you give me motivation and courage.
