We may incorporate an active Twitter site for the family in the future, it is still under discussion. In the meanwhile, if you have a twitter site and would like for us to “follow” you, please feel free to post your website below (e.g., @Renetta_Tull, my work site for graduate students  is @PROMISE_AGEP or http://www.twitter.com/PROMISE_AGEP )  This blog is semi-private, and URLs are purposely not hyperlinked. If you want to go to a site, please cut and paste the URL (http:// web address) into the top window of your browser.
During Saturday’s banquet, we were able to tweet and get messages to and from our family members in Australia, California, Virginia, and Philly (Latrease, Holly, Leronia, Tim, and Jasmin) via Twitter and Facebook.  My twitter updates are mirrored (copied) on my personal facebook site.   Thanks to Christopher and Brandi for re-tweeting — copying what I wrote so that others could participate. Of the nearly 50 messages that were posted, here is a sample of 10 of them.

Saturday Night Banquet & Sunday Church Service

Saturday night, we took time to remember the past by honoring the families of aunts, uncles, and grandparents of earlier generations. Honorees of the present were Anise Walker, Warren Robinson, Alberta Robinson, and Milton Rowe.

The evening had humor and fun with the comedy of Kenny Robinson and “Minute to Win it!” games.
We ended the night with the “We are Robinsons” Song, led by Cousin Austin.

Hello world!

Hello World and Hello Robinson Family,

I am so glad that you made it to this blog……WELCOME………..

This Website and the Blog area attached to it, is a labor of love and I proudly submit it for your approval or disapproval. I submit it for your suggestions and your criticisms. I submit it to begin a conversation about using new communications technology to improve family relations and communications as well as remove distances and differences between family members .
In today’s fast moving world, commutations is paramount and I believe that using “Cloud Computing,”(….that’s the operative term for internet computing these days) is not only the vehicle we need to ride into this “Internet” but also the tool we need use, to access the power of the World Wide Web. As I feel in should be obvious to everyone that the “Cloud” amplifies and multiplies our voices, it adds range and scope and hopefully clarity to our vision and serves as listening device that allows us to hear sounds from around the world. Person to person communications without corporate mediation is at hand and Robinsonfamily1.com is both standing in the portal and serving as a launching pad for the future.(Gosh Clinton I think there is a thesis in that paragraph somewhere)
