Welcome! I'm hoping you enjoy your stay :)
I still use twitter but I agree it isn't what it used to be, also blogged using Wordpress. I've enjoyed scratching by blogging itch here but it hasn't been as interactive as I'd hoped. It's great to be rewarded for posts but fewer than 1% of voters interact. I think it's all very automated.
Thank you!
And well...if I manage to get even a small circle of people that regularly interracts on each others posts, it's a great start. I think that's all I need anyway, personally speaking. I used to have a few thousand followers on google+ where I used to post photography regularly, but I soon learnt that having lots of followers doesn't necessarily mean lots of interraction.
