Twitter
is a complete mystery. “Get Twitter and
get tweeting,” my editor told me. So I
did. But I
honestly don’t understand
Twitter.
But don't expect me to know where we're going. |
“Link
your blog to your Twitter to your Facebook,” a friend told me.
I
did that too. Blogging, I sorta
get. Back in the way back of the early ‘90s,
I followed an internet friend’s blog religiously. It was filled with heartache and longing and
pain and desperation. I’d never really
encountered someone so willing to share so many intimate details of thoughts
and feelings and emotions. It was
enthralling reading.
Now,
of course, it would be considered common-place.
Mundane.
But
I linked my blog to my Twitter to my Facebook.
How I did that, I can’t recall. I
probably could not repeat the procedure, or undo any part of it should the
desire/need arise.
“You’re
tweeting wrong,” two friends said during a Twitter intervention. “You’re only marketing. You need more content. Tweet some funny. Tweet some content.”
So
I started doing that.
Now,
I tweet anything that tickles my funnybone.
Some is thoughts that occur to me. Some is stuff I’ve heard or seen or
read. Some of it I think I actually made up, but
I’m probably stealing from somewhere else out to the recesses of my
semi-functional brain.
I
have a 165+ followers, so I guess I’m doing something right. Every few days, another someone I’ve never
met, and never heard of, follows me. It’s
deeply appreciated. Anyone who finds my
blog-Twitter-Facebook-linked material worthy of interest has my personal
thanks.
I still don't get it, but please follow me: @RobRoyMcCandles
Your Tweets are like wee punchlines throughout the day! If I didn't follow you already, I would follow you to find out how you come up with some of these things.
