Well kind of busy with Twitter. Its been real interesting. As I said before I had an account but never really used it for much of anything. So decided to actually check it out and have found myself hooked.
It is addicting that is for sure. Its also easy to let it consume you. I found out quickly that it can tie you up for hours upon hours.
I mean hit it at 8 in the evening and still be going at 2 in the morning on it trying to catch up and keep up.
Also it flies by so fast that I find myself missing a lot I'm pretty sure.
So I made the decision to mostly hit it every other day. That way I keep one free even if the next is tied up keeping up.
Thankfully I don't have to type much at all which is a good thing.
One thing I'm trying to figure out is why are some weird things following me?
I've got three or so health fanatics who are followers for instance. They all talk about fitness and related garbage.
Now you have to understand I am the opposite of fit. I certainly don't eat healthy but then again I'm happy and don't want to eat that way.
I'm a great cook and not a single thing I make have the words "Low", "Free", or "Non" in it. Not even close. Matter of fact I make stuff that for the most part is on the "DO NOT EAT" list of every health nut in the world. Creams, butter, pasta, red meats, you name it like that and I probably do it.
So why are these people following me? Add the fact I've never said a word about anything related eating or health in my posts so its not a F-you type thing.
I've got other puzzling followers too. One doesn't speak English and other than "Este Es America, habla Englis" I don't speak Spanish. (Don't know if that is even right)
I have people who are selling everything from music to garage door openers and I have no idea why.
Maybe I'm just not understanding something. Hell I'm probably not, I'll just say it.
The thing is that maybe I'm doing it wrong but every follower who follows me is someone who's page I go and check out before following back.
If I don't agree with him and his views I simply don't follow the person. There is one guy I'd really like to follow for example. He represents like 99% of my beliefs so far in what I've seen. The problem is that there is one huge thing I firmly don't believe in and therefore I don't follow the guy. Its a shame but his hatred for this thing is glaring and I will not show support for that in any way.
I also notice all these "Retweet doesn't mean or equate with endorsement" messages on peoples' profiles.
What's up with that? Why would you retweet something that you don't agree with?
I sure as hell don't.
I only do so when I agree with what the poster has said in the post or put up in the post. Period. I wouldn't retweet something I didn't support and believe in. Why would anyone?
But those distancing themselves from things they retweeted exist and totally confuse me. I just don't get why.
Then there are the liberals who once again prove they have no argument with which to prove anything. As in other forms of media I've found over and over again their argument consists of creating things you haven't said or just calling you names and swearing.
Another thing I find annoying and which will cause me not to follow someone is a poster who retweets or posts the same thing multiple times one after another over and over again.
I've went to profiles where things are posted five or six times for each item. What the heck?
I mean I might retweet the same thing twice over the course of six or eight hours but I don't deliberately do it over and over again one after the other like some.
So after a couple weeks now I have, as of Saturday, two hundred and six followers. I have no idea if that is good or not but I'm happy. I never looked for followers just wanted a place to air my comments about stuff.
Anyway that's some of my Twitter experience so far. Will keep you updated on stuff as time goes by.
