My mother felt that way about her children. Luckily, my sister and I both fit the profile. "You may have been a nuisance but you never were a bore." It's been a strange life with that playing in my head. Can you say too clever by half?JG in MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029403745201344240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-10210088652158517952012-02-23T17:59:11.365-05:002012-02-23T17:59:11.365-05:00Thank you for your input on Twitter...I sometimes ...Thank you for your input on Twitter...I sometimes worry I am not on twitter so much.

I didn't realize that about private accounts. <br /><br />And yes I love the fact that you can follow someone and not have to worry about whether they follow you back. But the unspoken truth is that when someone follows you, many of them are hoping you will follow back either to engage in conversation or to beef up their numbers. But, yes, you're right about that.<br /><br />MarianMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738104230962644360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-38019541559166457702012-02-23T13:11:00.535-05:002012-02-23T13:11:00.535-05:00Just a point of clarification re locked accounts; ...Just a point of clarification re locked accounts; a person cannot send you a DM unless you follow them. And overall, I would not assume that someone who follow you is implying you should follow them back. Twitter is not necessarily bidirectional - that's part of the freedom of it. :-)Taneyahttp://www.taneya-kalonji.com/genblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-64427357883187004192012-02-23T09:21:50.426-05:002012-02-23T09:21:50.426-05:00Excellent post Marian.

It has come to the point now that I follow people who have caught my eye in some way. They may regularly use a hashtag that I follow to tweet brilliant things and then I'll start following them. A friend may suggest that I follow them. Or, someone may tweet @ me and start a conversation, and then I'll follow them. (I love people who are willing to converse best of all!) I am a very active social media user and I can't easily keep track of everyone anymore. ;)archivesinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173735671172866919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-43608233291325258472012-02-23T08:38:42.051-05:002012-02-23T08:38:42.051-05:00Excellent post Marian and in sync with my own Twit...Excellent post Marian and in sync with my own Twitter "Dos vs Don'ts" list. <br /><br />I also tend to hesitate when I see that horrid egg instead of a profile photo. I don't immediately discard the person because perhaps they're new to the Twitter field, but it's a tick mark in the "maybe not" columnOlive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.com
