I feel like when people first join Twitter, in their mind they think something like "I won't Tweet like I'm going to Tweet meaningful stuff." That's how I thought. And while I do feel like (or hope!) I have tweets of value, I know I've fallen into some pitfalls that I've silently scrutinized others about.
Things I do on Twitter that I never thought I would:
Follow reality TV stars
Bad Girls Club definitely used to be a TV guilty pleasure of mine, and Natalie Nunn was at the helm of the season I was the most into.
Subtweet
Sub-tweet, or "subliminal tweet" is directly referring to a particular person without mentioning their name. This was DEFINITELY a subtweet lol.
Tell the internet where I am, EXACTLY.
I love Fouraquare, and I love having it linked to my Twitter to tell people where I am. I don't even know what the appeal really is lol.
Have your social media habits changed from the "rules" you thought you had initially?
SO MUCH. I used to also NEVER tweet anything that include my full name, but, um, that's gone by the wayside, too...
ReplyDeleteYea, I remember when everyone believed you shouldn't put your full name on the internet at all! Now everyone's e0mail address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com lol
DeleteLol i definitely subtweet but i dont follow reality stars or tell my location :-) Haha! Guess we all do things we said we wouldn't

DeleteHi from Mingle Monday! And YES! I laughed so hard reading this! I've done all of these things and never thought I would!
ReplyDeleteGood, neither of us should feel bad! lol Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYeah, I was going to keep my name secret when I started blogging, but then I went and used my last name as my domain! Oops...
ReplyDeleteYea I think over time the "don't use your real name on the internet" rule has gone by the wayside lol
DeleteOh this is a fun post!! Does using 4 square benefit you at all..like get discounts? Just wondering because some people have told me that :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I get at least one 50% off smoothie at my gym every week. A lot of restaurants also give you a free appetizer for your first check-in, I got a free basket of churros at a Mexican restaurant, that is my crowning Foursquare achivement! lol Clothing stores often have discounts too.
Deletei LOVE Bad Girls Club...what a guilty pleasure..
ReplyDeleteI was all about Natalie running LA! LOL!
Great and fun post! New follower!
