Twitterverse...

Ok, so now another rundown of my thoughts on Twitter. And this is almost to repeat what I've said earlier about Twitter. So I'd be RT'ing myself here, LOL! I know, redundant but I thought I'd reiterate what I've said and maybe say a few extra things I may not have said before.

I actually find it a bit interesting or maybe fascinating is a better word for it. You see, with the personal account that I have, I follow my sister and my best friend, celebrities and other interesting things that have to do with entertainment, food, parenting, sports, Affirmations, and believe it or not, tech-stuff. With my public site, I follow 'real' people, some celebrities, and various news outlets and quotables... I get the best of both worlds without giving too much of myself away. You see anonymity is good to an extent but good so my ex can't yell at me for saying anything about my personal life. That's why my personal site with my 'real' name is locked. And my public site has no personal markers except my photo and the link to this Blog, which isn't using my 'real' name. That's another post for another time.

Meeting new people and finding things in common with people from all over the world is really interesting to me. I still don't understand how people get my name and end up 'following' me but how ever they find me, it's still kinda cool. I enjoy 'talking' to people from all over and knowing something I may have to say is interesting enough to someone that they want to comment or they want to engage in a convo with me. I love being able to chat with people from England or South Africa and people from the US, because as different as we all may seem, we really aren't. Like attracts like. So I like to think that the people I happen to talk to are interested in some of the same things I'm interested in and can carry on a convo that doesn't become one-sided.

I am still finding it funny that people want to follow me and that after a few days they unfollow. If I had a fragile ego, I'd be a basket case and have a serious complex about myself. LOL But with the ability to follow, why not be more selective before you automatically follow someone because it was suggested? I will usually follow someone who first has a real photo and a bio that seems interesting, I will read some of their time line to see how they interact with their followers, and see how many they follow and how many follow them and also how often they 'tweet'. And if they follow me and ask me to follow them... Side note: I love taking words and turning them into words associated with Twitter. Anyway, I am selective with whom I follow now. I had mentioned in an earlier post that I would probably follow everyone following me, but I recant that to say that I will follow most that follow me. Because you run the risk of following someone being a douche and blowing up your time line with nonsense or stuff you really don't want to read, or sending you ridonkulous links to things you could care less about.

How do people manage all their followers? It's not an easy thing to do, but if you speak up and chat with me, I'd chat with you. I have been fluctuating between 220 - 225 followers. Don't get me wrong it's actually quite flattering that anyone would want to follow me and that wasn't my intent when I started my public site but keeping up with everyone is not as difficult as I thought it would be. I follow people who have thousands of followers, no joke. How in the world do you keep track of that? Well, my question was answered and it's the same as what I said. If you engage me in convo and you want to chat, I'll chat back and will carry on multiple convos if I can keep it up. But I don't follow with any intent but to chat and see what people have to say. It's getting a glimpse into someone's life that wants to share something with anyone who can read. We become minor celebrities in our own right when someone suggests you as someone to follow. And if someone RT's you (retweets what you just said) its kinda cool that they think what you had to say.

I am who I put out there. I may not always be like that with everyone I'm around, just because I've built my whole life on being the person everyone wanted me to be, or at least who I thought they wanted me to be. Another post for later... But I am what you read and at times I'm more or less what you read. I Tweet for the fun of it and for no other reason but to connect with people. So if you follow me, enjoy the ride. If you unfollow me, thanks for peeking into my world.

Now its time to close this and I may say more or I may not. Stay tuned and see what happens. Until we tweet/meet again, Be Great, because good is the enemy of Great. =)
