Twitter is not for Everyone

Twitter is not for everyone. Sometimes it's good to have Twitter so that people can see you.. As much traffic as Twitter has, you still may be known by only a few.

Followers and Leaders

It is not always good to follow everyone that may be following you. If someone is following a bad leader and is following you too, you can see the one that is following you and his other leader. You might see your timeline posted with garbage in conversation. Sometimes you have to let people go. We need to watch some of the ones that we follow.

No Communication and Getting Ignored


Sometimes the best communication is your blog or website. Not everyone experience the same thing. Often on Twitter, people are ignored. There are too many subjects in discussion and too many people to answer. There are all kinds of people and all kinds of interests mixed together on Twitter. We may have a profile at Twitter for a specific thing, but we communicate about many things. So if you are following someone, and if they are not communicating with you, what is the point in following them? Remember, Twitter is a social site.

New Ways of Writing and Reading

It seems that there are different ways to write these days. You can now make a newspaper out of the people you follow or you can make your newspaper pacific topics at http://paper.li/.  As you make a tweet on Twitter, that is even news. The good thing about Twitter is you write a few lines and that’s it. It seems we are being taught to write less words. As you become involve with interesting people, you are living, speaking, and writing your news online.

Turn Twitter into an Online Newspaper

Did you know that you could turn Twitter and Facebook into an Online Newspaper. You have to be logged into your Twitter account, and you will have to give your email address and password. You can choose to make the newspaper the Tweets and people you follow or you can make your newspaper pacific topics. You can create your newspaper at  http://paper.li/.

I was already thinking that Twitter was like a newspaper, and someone already has came up with the idea. It's amazing how just having a conversation could be turned into a newspaper. Your conversation is now news as you follow interesting people involved in so much.

Timeline Looking Bare

You can see what's happening in your timeline on your homepage at Twitter. I was glad to see it bare today. There were people that I followed that were following people with sick minds. It showed up in my timeline. I do not like going to a homepage to read a bunch of profanity and sexual conversation in my timeline. However, it is good to have a timeline to see the updates on conversation to the people you follow.

Visualizing My Twitter Page as a Blog

Already, I use Blogger for blogging. If I post a link to my blog on Twitter, I would like the image of my blog to show. If I post links to my blog post, I would like to have images to show and a few lines to that post. My comments would be from those following me on Twitter in my mentions tab.

I also see Twitter adding a blog tab. We could blog short post. The post could be a short paragraph. The paragraphs could be 10 lines long. People could Tweet comments under your post. The comments could continue to be a certain amount of words.

At WordPress, you can blog your post into the style of Twitter. You can see an example here at   http://nobles123.wordpress.com/
