My life as a TWEETER! 9 days and counting…well maybe!


My life as a TWEETER! 9 days and counting…well maybe!
I am “Living and Learning” about life as a tweeter. My Twitter site consists of 23 Tweets, Following 19, 5 Followers, 8 @Mentions, and 1 Re-Tweet.  I am really on a roll, LOL!!!  Oh, and who knew there is Twitter Etiquette? Well evidently there is!!! Of my 23 tweets, 2 of them were sent to ask my daughter and a friend to please follow me.  My daughter promptly informed me it is not proper to send tweets asking people to follow you.  She said, “Mom, if people want to follow you, they will find you!”  I was like, "WHAT?!?!? You are my daughter and I can’t ask my daughter to follow me?!?!?!"  She said, "Well of course you can ask me, but don’t ask anyone else." I was thinking, (1) well heck, 2 days in and I’ve already broken twitter rules, (2) WOW, I’m glad I only ask one other person, and (3) man, I guess I have a lot to learn about this Twitter and Tweeting thing. I almost deleted my Twitter account right on the spot.  I was only in it for the fun and it quickly seemed like this was going to be more than I bargained for. However, I decided to stick it out a few more days and I have actually started to enjoy it.  I am following The Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian Museums, all of our local Theatres, Washington DC, NYC, along with a few friends and family. I am beginning to see where life in the Twitter world can be beneficial. So not that I’m asking, because good heavens, that would be improper Twitter Etiquette, but in case anybody really cares my twitter name is DebbieWLobo. 

Update May 2015 - …still on Twitter and still breaking all the rules, haha!
