Twitter and Me

For those who follow me on Twitter and to those who I follow back should know a few things about me. Right off the bat, I like to blog, post things online and etc. Only difference is that I do it in moderation. Also from time to time I like to be funny, inspirational and most importantly being myself.

But the word here is 'moderation'. How I see Twitter is different than how others look at a micro blog site. Everyone has their own thing, gimmick or ongoing theme going themselves. Individuality is how we as people define ourselves. At the same time it's our own personal soap box that people can choose to follow their voice or not - it's up to the reader.

My reasons for following certain people on Twitter are simple - I like what you tweet because you're interesting enough to follow. Since my return to Twitter, I've followed and stopped following people for a variety of reasons including the fact they're just promoting themselves in their profession and not something in their daily life.

Out of all the celebrities that are on Twitter I only follow G4 television personality Morgan Webb and actress Felicia Day. Why? To sum it up for Morgan Webb - she doesn't promote herself but other people and as for Felicia Day, I think her bio what reeled me in. Sometimes if a bio is interesting I'll follow just because of that.

In last five months of returning to Twitter a little older a bit more wiser - I've learned that it's not who you follows you but the people that reply to you that matter. A while ago it occurs to me that somehow we're all connected to someone in some small yet insignificant way. Upon conclusion I guess I'll continue being myself and enjoy life.
