I recently told someone I only actually tweet about 10% of the time I am logged in to twitter, the rest of the time I am reading tweets, following links, looking up things I have never heard of, reading profiles and following those links. And of course one of my fav activities any where People watching ! Its easy to see I do not interact well, and compared to lots of twits hold back on info about me. For what its worth I do that in person too, to me twitter is the perfect social media for the not so social like me.etamnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146164248169184330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-90178991826508314752009-06-24T22:39:50.190+01:002009-06-24T22:39:50.190+01:00I think it's never a good idea to worry what o...I think it's never a good idea to worry what other twitter users are doing or what is motivating them. <br /><br />I think different people use it in different ways. I personally like to follow a lot of people and have lots of people follow me - that's just my preference. I like to feel that there's a huge crowd all talking amongst themselves and I can just drop in at any time and pick up a conversation myself.<br /><br />That is just what works for me. I'll always answer people and talk to people but I could speak to someone one week and then not again for a month - but I'd hate to think that sone people would be annoyed at my behaviour. <br /><br />And another thing, I enjoy reading tweets. I read at least 30 for every one I reply to. And I often laugh at them, am interested in them and think about them. But I can't reply to everything as I don't have an opinion on everything or perhaps I need to think about them a bit more. So people will read your tweets far more than they actually talk to you. But doesn't mean they aren't interested.<br /><br />Rambling comment over!!espiritoarthttp://www.espiritoart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-11086825710428671792009-06-24T11:20:40.951+01:002009-06-24T11:20:40.951+01:00Mummy Bird,

It ended up being more though, and that surprised me. I really didn't think about making friends with 140 characters or less. Yet somehow it still happen. Do not let twitter get to you. If for some reason, you feel left out jump in and say hi get the person attention. I know as my people count grows it is harder and harder to keep up and I miss a lot of things. But your real friends are your friends no matter what. So say hello and go from there. :)mitzshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019631475814839785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-20901373845391591332009-06-21T18:53:23.577+01:002009-06-21T18:53:23.577+01:00Virtual societies are just as potent as real ones....Virtual societies are just as potent as real ones. Of course Twitter can be addictice, very enjoyable, very annoying, you can feel bitterly aggreived by non-attention or claustrophobic from too much. It's all there. I've experienced it all too. Some say its not healthy but it's just the way life works. <br /><br />I love Twitter cause it's instant society & new society on tap, with all the good and bad thrown in. Like everything the more you put into it the more you get out of it. Maybe in the future I might get bored with it but not now. It's by far the best of all social netwoking media, apart from the early magical days of 49£ of course.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-75330606993493450842009-06-16T20:00:20.327+01:002009-06-16T20:00:20.327+01:00yes agree totally it was like a life line at fir...yes agree totally it was like a life line at first people seem to be not so interested now maybe the dark winter has now passedchallengeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211284649536405866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-44321989175718619692009-06-16T10:34:44.930+01:002009-06-16T10:34:44.930+01:00It must be a twitter habit - you encapsulated my t...It must be a twitter habit - you encapsulated my thoughts concisely without rambling.<br />It is difficult getting the balance between actually reading what people are tweeting and following many of the great people out there.The Prettygoodlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797098888794399299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-83607091792657496782009-06-15T15:21:47.591+01:002009-06-15T15:21:47.591+01:00Hi Mummy Bird :)

Have met some lovely people too....I can see many a Tweet up in the future being attend ;)Snow Queennoreply@blogger.com
