blogging/social networking sites?

[Sarah]

could someone please clarify such matters!
i have bebo and facebook. guess myspace is a similar idea.
how exactly does twitter/flickr work?
considering blogging. any particularly good sites one recommends? blogspot for instance?

[Eric]

I personally use blogspot for my blogging. I've gotten used to it really quick. It's pretty simple to use.

As for twitter, it is pretty much like your facebook status updates mixed with sending messages. It is pretty useful for "advertising" your blog. Hope it helps

If you need any other help regarding twitter or blogspot, don't hesitate to ask me.
