Kudos to Twitter for taking steps to prevent abusive behavior and to keep its users safe. A safe online experience benefits us all. I’m hoping these actions will help everyone who uses Twitter as a prime tool for connecting socially.
I love it when celebrities Tweet back. This happened tonight when I Tweeted to Brian Dietzen of the long-running CBS drama NCIS.
When this happens it means they genuinely care about their audience and those who are invested int heir show. Good stuff.
As I have taken a break from Facebook it’s important to up my game on Twitter. One thing I wanna do there is to engage my blog readers and other friends who are there to make them aware of my presence. Blogging and Tweeting seem to be good friends so I want to take advantage of that. Sometimes you need more than 140 characters to share whats on your mind. Granted the stream on Twitter is different from Facebook in that you see more users at one time on Facebook so you have to stand out among the crowd. So far though I haven’t seen as much inbound interaction on Twitter as of yet. You are welcome to follow me there as well as my other social outlets.
BTW my Facebook break is going well. Haven’t missed it much.
This is a screenshot of a USA Today sports blog featuring one of my tweets! A sportswriter is adopting a college football team and he chose the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. UTC is my hometown team. In doing research for his series he found this tweet I did and he embedded it into his article. So thousands of readers are looking at this and I couldn’t be more excited! This is way cool!
So this happened at 9:30 on Monday (8/15/16) night. I haven’t seen Twitter go down in awhile. No one is immune from a site outage, not even the big boys. Excuse the Facebook notification in the lower right hand corner, which is ironic if you ask me.
Snapchat the popular photo texting app thingy is now off my phone. It is a very big app in terms of space and I wasn’t using it much because I just couldn’t get into it. I will stick with the apps and services I tend to use more such as WordPress, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr.
