Am I A Twit 'Cause I don't Tweet?
I just don't get it. I thought Twitter was for us regular people to follow celebs. I thought Twitter was for me to stay abreast of what my imaginary bff, Khloe Kardashian, was doing. Than I realized that millions of people use twitter everyday. Millions of "regular" people. What the heck are regular people Twitting about? What the heck am I gonna Twitter about? Or is that Tweet about? Geez, I don't even know the lingo.
Man, I don't even know what I'd say. I'm not that interesting. I work, go to school and take lots of naps. And on a really exciting day, I might eat a whole box of Cocoa Puffs, but that's as cool as I get. So why would anyone wanna follow me? Granted, I know that eating a whole box of cereal is AMAZING but really. I don't think people want to follow me because of my love for carbs
I bite the bullet, go to Twitter.com and sign up. After all, I am trying to explore all things new media.
After several minutes, my self-diagnosed ADD kicks in, and I find myself spending more time designing my homepage than actually trying to Twitter...or Tweet. I look up a few celebrities because, well, who the heck else would I look up? Then, panic sets in! These celebs have millions of followers! Twitter is EXACTLY what I thought it was. A POPULARITY CONTEST! I haven't been popular since Tupac was alive.
How the heck am I gonna attract followers?
Stay tuned.

I loved this post! Are you reading my mind or what?! I've also been trying to branch out and get into all this social stuff. I tweet and so far i have 23 followers and most of them are companies!I also possess the amazing skill of eating an entire box of cereal in a day! It's like we were separated at birth, lol! i'll follow you if you follow me. I know that sounds stalker-licious but i promise i'm just socially awkward. twitter.com/laurelle2012
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I too can not get into the Twitter revolution, but I will join you in learning about Twitter and how we can use it to our benefit. Please keep us informed on your progress!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amira and Emilio, I will keep you post. Sad thing is, I couldn't figure out my doggone Twitter address. Now you know that's sad.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I have an account that I never use.
ReplyDeleteSaige, you are the 5th person that has told me that. that's exactly the reason why Twitter seems...foolish.
