314. Twitter

Yeah, yeah, I hear you. But I would like to make a brief argument in my own defence.

I have only started to love Twitter since I began my brutal following policy. If I think you're funny or interesting I will follow you on Twitter. If you fail me in some way, by being an arsehole or only ever Tweeting to promote something or by being boring, I will unfollow you. You don't care about me, and I don't care about you, so it's very simple. I know people who really care about whether somebody they've Tweeted responds. And lots of people are very good at Twitter and get lots of followers. Exciting! But I live in the middle of nowhere so for me Twitter is like going into a really good cafe and being able to sit and listen in the corner. Perfect.

  1. news alert!! you are actually 13 but trapped in an older person's body. but thank god for the rest of us. how do you *understand* the twitter. me and the hubby can't get with what it is, what is it for or how it bleeding works. thank god for you to explain it to silly old people. you are a very clever stick. i went to the great lengths of having a child so i have someone in the house who can work the electric things and tell me about music, books, films and social media. at least you and t will have something to laugh about in the long winter nights, when i am reading my newspaper by candle-light and putting on my beta max videos and listening to LPs.
