I go by Habitants09/H09 for TS3. For twitter I'm @HoltDistrict and @SimopsisForums, but that's because they serve specific purposes. One for my CJ, one for my forum.

I don't really use Twitter. I signed up at the badgering of a friend who was not on Facebook but is an extensive Twitter user. Then she joined Facebook and even though she doesn't really use it I now no longer see any reason to be involved with Twitter.

I'm on Twitter just to see NHL rumours and news.

[simlink 1,098]

I search the web for rumours & news for the NHL. The site I visit most though is dedicated to my favourite team (HockeyInside/Out, covers the Canadiens) - it has some good info. Especially during the season, great game coverage.

The thing is, you don't need to have a Twitter account to view people's tweets unless they've got their account set to private and you need to be an approved follower.

I rarely use twitter. Didn't like that kind of stuff (sharing your private life).

[Duke87 1,070]

(8468)

The key is to not share publicly. My twitter is locked - you can't see what I say unless you follow me, and you can't follow me unless I let you.

Similarly, manage your privacy settings on Facebook and be cognizant of who can see what you're posting. If there's a group of people you might not want to see certain things (like, say, your parents), make a list that excludes them and share only with the list rather than with all your friends.

My stuff isn't personal, so I don't necessarily worry about that with twitter. Facebook on the other hand, that's a different story.

@ClaytonFogg and Clayton Fogg I am on both.

I rarely use twitter too, but I have it following some people so every now and then I can see what's new

I gave a speech today in class. It was an informative speech on Autism. I earned 89 points out of 100 because I read my friend's testimony verbatim and went over time.

I did a speech back in May about how the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey abuses their power in the Bi-State area and is being untruthful in the rebuilding process of the WTC. I only got 88/100 because I was relying on a visual aide too much.

Oh geez, it's been a while since I've had to give any sort of presentation solo. Don't do it for work, so it was college... I gave a very fun and silly presentation about Gustav Lindenthal. Got an A on it, after having created a lot of hype because the entire class was curious who I would present on but I refused to tell anyone ahead of time (and then, the night before, my professor prematurely let the cat out of the bag in an email to the whole class... grrr...).

I miss doing presentations in college. I got pretty good at it somewhere during my third year. Although, teaching English here is really nothing BUT a whole bunch of presentations.

I hate doing presentations/speeches. I'm shy enough as is, but put me in front of an audience and... oh boy.

However, I gave an oral report on solar energy last year, and with preparation, I got somewhere around a 98%.

EDIT: Numbers, check your numbers!

I wonder if I even get a good mark. I'm terrible at presentations. Though my out of school drafting competitions helped a lot

EDIT: Sniped! :|

I never liked giving presentations until I got to college, and would go out of my way to avoid it in high school. When I was there, I felt like it was just an assignment and that it was fine just to get it over with, but I sat through some very BAD presentations and realized that not only did I not dislike doing them, I was actually quite good at it, especially compared to the stuttering, meandering, pointless messes that often surrounded mine. That's not to say I am awesome, like a Jedi Master of the presentation or whatever, but the same could be true of yourselves: you're decent at it and just haven't realized it yet.

[Duke87 1,070]

I wouldn't say it's a matter of being good at it but not having realized it yet as it is a matter of improving with experience. And perhaps also improving when you gain more confidence about it.

Upgraded one of my Hotmail accounts to the new platform - Outlook(.com). Must say I actually like it - very clean and simple design. Can definitely see some parallels to the design of Windows 8 .

I already have three different personal email addresses. I do not need another one.

[RipRap 4,400]

8486

I have one email account, which is a Yahoo! one. Have that since I was 12.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

8487

I have, let's see, one, two.... Used to be three when I was a college student, but no longer, just the two, although one rarely gets used at all anymore, so really just one. My wife has like a million, but she changed her name when we got married and then got new email addresses to match.

[Duke87 1,070]

It's nice being able to use different accounts for different things, My Yahoo account is a spam bucket. Some website needs my email address for no particular functional reason other than so that they can send me spam? Give 'em Yahoo.

[simlink 1,098]

My Yahoo account is for facebook, and has recently started filling up with random spam. Hotmail is for personal use, as is my gmail. I also have 2 accounts related to gaming/forums, but those are only for registration. Don't log into them often. When I upgraded one of my hotmail accounts I opted to keep @hotmail.com, instead of changing it to @outlook.com...

I have 4, one for personal use, one for spam, my Yahoo account for Yahoo Answers, and my school e-mail.
