@Annie Payne. Thanks for the comments. Glad you find my post useful. Hmmm..what to do about the water cooler chat? We here in North America could have a slumber party, I guess.

Hey Dan,
This is great – well written & succinct. Watch out for me ‘following’ you – I’ll be the person who is a day or so ahead of you (so much for a chat around the water cooler; you are all aslepp in yesterday when I am up and ready to ‘chat’!!
Ciao, bello,
Annie

@KJ. Thanks for dropping by. I agree that Twitter gives you access to a host of groups where you can share your finds and enthusiasms.

@Gabi. Thanks for your comment. Yes, having a virtual water cooler is handy on those days you’re tired of your own company.

I have found Twitter to be a great cheerleader. When I made a major find I wanted to scream it from the rooftops but there was no one to tell. I told Twitter and several #genealogy tweeps who understood how neat the find was replied with congrats.
