Twitter Style Blog
Hey, I have also created a twitter style blog for posting short messages, I think this could be a fun tool especially when twitter goes down! I have also enabled it to allow non-users of wordpress to post comments. Comments will automatically post without approval from me as well, so everything is real-time! Please join me with this here and there! Chat with you later.
Being Copied by a Star
So today was just a normal day for me! I got up ate a little breakfast and got some coffee! As most normal days go, I sign into Twitter and give my morning welcomes and every things. I was in the midst of chatting with @ceggs on MSN messenger and going back and fourth between her and TweetDeck this morning when a RT from a tweep that I follow came across my feed. I was shocked in what I saw to say the least. The feed came from @jemmathesquib and here is the link of the tweet that she posted: http://twitter.com/jemmathesquib/status/4054165129
I then noticed that Patrick Swayze was trending in the trending topic section and clicking on that lead me to a plethora of tweets retweeting this tweet from @aplusk who happens to be Ashton Kutcher on twitter. The tweet from @aplusk is here in this link http://twitter.com/aplusk/status/4048749026 and was posted 8 hours ago on twitter! This tweet is amazingly similar to the tweet that I posted on twitter and facebook on September 14th and is linked here http://twitter.com/Josh_Biggs/status/3993602831 although Ashton’s joke is changed a bit from mine, it is still the same joke that I posted! I honestly could not believe what I was seeing, I was being copied and a tweet of mine was being made popular! The first thing that crossed my mind was “how rude” and I started my twitter campaign but now I find it completely flattering and all of the love and RT’s about being copied and being given credit from all of my followers and tweeps that I don’t follow is amazing! I am truly shocked and flattered! What an amazing experience today!
The people from Twitter are amazing! I am truly grateful for everyone that I follow and that follows me! I am amazed everyday about how genuine people are and how Twitter, a social networking site has changed my thoughts and views on life! An amazing experience and one that I am grateful everyday to experience. I am thanking everyone from my heart, everyone is amazing that I have meet on Twitter, I never knew how many nice people exist!
I signed up with twitter in March of 2009, a late comer by many standards and at first I wasn’t sure about it, so I started to post things like: “cleaning the couch off!” not really sure how affective my tweets were really being, and sure thousands of people will post this way, which is fine! However I wanted something more so quickly I jumped on the mass media band wagon and started following news feeds! I quickly found a way to voice my opinion about politics, the economy and other issues! It wasn’t long that I started to build up a following!
Soon twitter became more than just a stage for me; it became a place where I have the opportunity to meet thousands of people that, under normal channels I would never have the opportunity to meet! Like many other twitter users I am drawn to the simplicity of the site, a place to make a 140 character posting about anything!
This is how I use Twitter now, it is a place to post about me, and my thoughts, some of the funny stuff I deal with and the things that I find funny that either happen to me, or I see happening. I also share the bad with the good and the funny part, people listen, which amazes me! It is this that has fueled my addiction and has also given me the driving force to blog!
So with that, I leave you with this! Twitter is not for everyone, but it does have its usefulness, and to me it is a place where I can quickly get caught up with the news, share my thoughts and opinions and listen to others, and even debate topics from time to time, but above all else it is a place that I have meet some terrific people and I would like to thank all my followers now!
