I'm A Twitter

It's official... I'm a twitter. I did not think it would happen to me, but it did. I started out shy, willingly taking a backseat to everyone else.... Just looking at conversations, seeing if there were any that I could identify with.

So then I would just reply to a conversation with a "LOL" if I thought something was funny. Maybe adding a couple words here and there. And before I could blink my eye, I was tweeting my own messages without even having someone ask me a question.

I now jump in conversations on my own....I create my own close network of individuals that I am interested in. Or that have similar backgrounds as myself. Or that just plain got to me... LOL.
You really do establish relationships here. There are those that can and will help you as well as being able to help someone else out that needs it. And isn't that what relationships are based on?

Sure, I believe you can sign up for twitter and start following every single person you see. And end up with 10,000 followers in a few days. But I chose not to do that. I wanted to keep those with similar interests in my circle. Plus, it's hard to manage all those followers.. No matter how good at multitasking I am... LOL.

So I am going to name a few other members of twitter that have touched me in one way or another. People I choose to follow because they made a difference with me. And when you sign up, you definitely will want to follow them as well.

@realandrews - for all the positive he gives out....I'm sure he's tired of hearing this, but he was on General Hospital. Check him out, you will know who he is. (let me clarify this) I was following him before I knew who he was.

@itsallsuccess - what a wonderful lady. It was her taking time with me that made me realize that this was someone I could become friends with.

@barefoot_exec - this lady is amazing. If I did not have my own business, I would follow her. She is what I already am and what I want to be.

@Steveweber - this is the man that took time with me as well to go over things I don't know about.. He holds a great call and really explains things.

@unmarketing - What can I say? I know all the ladies would say the same... He is the Jedi of Viral Marketing. But that's not what got me to follow him. It was his confidence, sense of humor and even when I thought he did not get what I was saying, he took time and DM'd me back.

@DaivRawks - the first person that got me to read what he wrote and take the time to reply to some of his posts....Very smart, interesting and funny. I'm a follower for life.

@Mike_Wesely - this guy seems to know everything about twitter and so much more. I have been in on a couple shows he holds and walked away with alot more know-how re: twitter. He's the man to see.

@DaveMalby - my favorite online DJ..... He keeps me going through the music he plays and the sense of humor he has.

There are more to mention, however, I am making a post... Not a book... LOL....I just hope the folks on twitter do realize that they can touch a person in any way.. And I am one of them touched by your tweets.

Word to the wise: No matter how slow you enter twitterverse, no matter how long it takes you to jump into a conversation and no matter how hard you resist... You will be sucked into twitterville. Go ahead and try to fight it.
