I basically use twitter to talk to other creative folks. Also friends/people I know IRL/offline. If you are a marketer or social media expert, I probably will not follow you. If you are a business or tweet only about your business, I probably will not follow you. If you only re-tweet others, I probably will not follow you. If your link is to a porn/booty-wah site, I probably will not follow you. If your link is to a religious site, I probably will not follow you. If you have tons of followers and no/very little interaction with them, I probably will not follow you. If it seems like you’re just fishing for followers, I probably will not follow you.

I know I’m so snotty right! ha ha

I will probably respond if you @me, I like talking to folks, and you do not have to follow me to @me. BUT – keep in mind I may not @you back right away. I do not keep up with twitter on my cell phone, that is just too intrusive for me. So I will not see your tweets or @s until I am online. Some days I am on more than others, and some days not at all.

Oh yah, I hardly ever say good morning. That seems to bother some folks, so if you need that sort of greeting, be prepared not to get it from me. I like to laugh/be amused, so be prepared also to see LOL and ha ha and smiley faces from me often. I rarely re-tweet, and rarely join groups/causes. I sometimes post links to my various blogs, projects, and photos. I often post random thoughts. and, I’m kinda slow. Overall, I can’t stand lots of contact or stimulation, so I’m trying to keep my follow list relatively small…only folks I will actually read and/or interact with. So please don’t get all offended if I don’t follow you, it really is nothing personal against you. and no, I won’t get mad if you unfollow me. I’m not about racking up followers, not at all, and quite realize I’m not everyone’s cup of tea.

You have been alerted! this is how I twitter :)

Anyway, don’t take it all so seriously. If at any point you do, watch this video, it will crack you up and help you get over yourself LOL:
