Sometimes it's just nice to be nice....
OK, so it sounds a bit lame and corny, but it's true. It's also
something I'd forgotten until fairly recently.
discovered that there are lot of really nice people out there in the
world. Yes, there's an awful lot of loonies and bores and frothing,
hate-filled maniacs as well, but I can safely keep my distance from
them if I wish to and concentrate on the decent folk that I have
found. It's not strictly necessary to offer helpful hints, links to
interesting articles, jokes, support or even basic pleasantries while
you're tweeting, but if you do, the response from your followers and
sometimes even random tweet readers, can be truly wonderful. I have probably made more friends in my brief time on Twitter, than I
ever have in real life. Why? Who knows? Maybe the complete lack of
expectations I hold every time I make a tweet allows me to be more
relaxed about being, "ignored", for want of a better word. Then when
someone does offer a reaction to whatever it was I said, that's a
bonus. Maybe the 140 character format of a tweet also helps because it forces
me to THINK about what I want to say without too much waffle...
mostly. Whatever the reason for enjoying Twitter, I really enjoy being a
tweeter, and will continue enjoying it for quite some time... Thank you, to all of you who have made me feel welcome and wanted on
Twitter... you know who you are...
