Hi Christine,
several points, have read other comments with interest.
Tweetdeck looks like so much fun, however they still don't have a safety certificate for downloading , I looked at several sites and comments , seems to be two consensus, most people don't really care and small group are waiting for that to happen
on Tweeting, love it , it is like playing the slots, addicting, as you can see your page views go up right away, one nice thing is that when you copy and paste your item to the update it automatically converts it to a tiny.url or whatever. I thought I would have to do that step but it happens magically. So I think at least tweeting your products regularly is good, in the evening I see views go up at least 20 , in the morning before work maybe 5 so I stick to evening.
Organizing time is never wasted I feel an urge coming on too.
Re: shops without anything listed, I think a lot of people just forget about them , as you said, and some just use it to redirect to another web site. I know sales are hard right now because essential needs take more that wants ( like jewelry) but I think we have to at least keep some interest going for when things get better.
re: Craigslist , I am still getting spammed so will not relist anything on that , spam just irritates me , probably a low estrogen issue.
I have spent quite a bit of time looking thru blogs on blogspot and wordpress, have one on both sites , haven't ventured to start one on type pad yet. I do like the blogs as you can get the flavour of a person.
Thanks Christine for all your suggestions and cheerleading , I have learned a lot and we do have promote ourselves as well as make fabulous crafts
