What they're saying on Twitter about Department 56

If you haven't tried Twitter yet, it's a combination blogging system and instant messenger. It's becoming incredibly popular. People write "tweets" (posts) to it and who ever is subscribed to it receives a steady stream of updates from everyone they are connected to. Also called "microblogging".

I've added a feed on the sidebar ----> which shows the latest "tweets" about Department 56, in real time. It's a live pulse on what people are saying.

Here's an example of things you may post on Twitter to update your friends on what you're doing:

- Just cleaned up the kitty litter
- Changed Liam
- Fed Liam
- Thought about a blog post to write today
- Wondering if Ebay is really as evil as they seem these days
- Remembered my idea for a Twitter story
- Made Rachael a peanut butter bagel
- Posted to D56 sales

Totally irrelevant stuff, but also incredibly addictive.

But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article
