Twittering and tweeting
I recently went on a really good course which made me look at Twitter in a new way.
I had always thought it something that people who didn’t have much to do (eg Stephen F stuck in lift) did. But there is a whole subtext that means you spread your word by making people want to know about it.
How true this is of life itself.
Sounds obvious, but it is in fact very subtle, needs work and a bit of thought, and I am not the person to tell you about it in greater detail as I am a new bug.
As far as I can detect, it’s about being yourself and writing so people want to know more about what you are talking about; they will read it if they like you. And if other people like you and like what you like, so they tell their friends and so on. Viral, baby.
Not being a teenager, Facebook just doesn’t do it for me. E-mail (you know that old fashioned thing that was once the last word in modern oh, a couple of years ago?) does. And I shall stick to that unless I want to advertise how much drain cleaner I dried and put up my nose and what it did to me – always really entertaining, and so useful when applying for a job in a couple of years.
Revenons a nos moutons. I am a bit of a Twitter convert, although I am blocking anyone who bangs on about cake or chocolate. Plain dull, and such a cliche. Sorry but there it is. I’ve said it.
