I'm constantly clicking on the little side arrows so I can see what the last post in a "thread" was. Twitter chats give me a headache if they're not highly controlled, but ordinary interaction is nice.

Butterfly at a picnic stage: don't get hung up on the number of followers you have.<br /><br />I would rather be surrounded by twitter folk I can engage, those with whom I have something in common. racking up huge numbers of followers isn't necessary. :)<br /><br />@k1prdChris Dixsonhttp://www.dixson.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-52018415000314111742011-02-25T13:27:38.052-08:002011-02-25T13:27:38.052-08:00Oh, I forgot to thank Charmed Lassie!

Now when someone asks me what Twitter is all about and why I bother, I can point to this post and say THIS is why.

I should have thought of that when I first wrote it, but I confess I was a bit sleepy and had a butterfly metaphor taking up all my brainpower. :) Thanks for all your support.Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-9023170294805190402011-02-25T09:55:29.756-08:002011-02-25T09:55:29.756-08:00You know, the only trouble with this post is that ...You know, the only trouble with this post is that I don't see your Twitter account linked anywhere. I would follow you.<br /><br />And yes, that's a great analysis. I'm going to snag it for next week's Interesting Links (where you seem to be showing up a lot of late :D).Margaret M.

Not so anymore!<br /><br />It's also vital that you give other people helping hands when they first arrive on Twitter. Give them a plug if you can, and remember how bored you were when you only followed five people.CharmedLassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408541277096433664noreply@blogger.com
