#25 Tweet on Twitter

The Twitter page for Cleveland Public Library attracted me.





Then I looked at two articles. The first article, 'Twitter Explained for Librarians', told me that Twitter is a good place for one to place one's random thoughts. I agree. The second article, 'How Twitter Can Help at Work', introduced me to TinyURL. One can use TinyUrl to shorten the length of a link < http://tinyurl.com/> .





After I signed up for Twitter, I went to 'Suggestions', then clicked the link to follow The New Yorker. When I went to 'Friends', I was unable to hook-up with who I wanted to, but after I went to 'Search', I was able to.





I wanted to paste my first tweet here, but was unable to. Here is my homepage http://twitter.com/vsacto





What I like about Twitter is it will be fun to read people's clever phrases. Having such a limited number of characters requires one to learn how to write better.

#24 LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE WITH MANGO

Spanish is the language I chose.









I studied Section 1: Greetings, Gratitude, and Goodbyes.









In Lesson 1 I learned how to say 'How are you?' formally- ¿Comó está usted?; and informally- ¿Comó está tú?







In lesson 2 I learned how to say 'I'm fine. Thank you.' Estoy bien. Gracias.







In lesson 3 I learned how to say: 'You're welcome.' De nada. I also learned how to say 'Have a good day.' Que tenga un buen dia.







I learned that 'cansado' means 'tired'.







This was an enjoyable exercise. It is user friendly.
