What I’ve learned about Twitter and other Random thoughts on Tweeting
* Twitter – a place to talk to yourself, publicly.
* I use to think a tweet was a sweet treat for a tweedy bird, not a message of up to 140 characters shared on Twitter.
* On twitter, breaking news spreads like wildfire—140 characters at a time.
* I always feel like I’m tweavesdropping on other people’s conversations.
* And then how do I jump in a conversation? I’m still learning my twetiquette.
* What is scary is that Twitter is “over capacity” during the prime work hours. Who’s working, if everyone is tweeting?
* Left on voicemail; “Hi Sue, this is Kristen, Twitter was down this morning. Call me right away when you get this message. I’m dying to know what you had for breakfast.”
* In my business meeting this week I said , Hello all my tweeple…um people.
* I have finally learned to stop calling it “Tweeter”. It’s Twitter. And people tweet, you twit.
* Maybe someday I will get tweeting and become a full fledge twanthropologist.
* What’s worse than your dad following you on Twitter? Your boss is following you.
* If someone is Twittering alone in the forest, and nobody else is there to receive the tweet, is it just a 140 character blog?
* When I begin to talk too long, my husband smiles and says, “Talk in tweets honey, brevity”.
* Twitter is like hitting “reply all” to the universe.
* Twitter acronym for “Typing what I’m thinking to everyone reading.”
* Twitter definition: “a short burst of inconsequential information,” like “chirps from birds.” -Jack Dorsey creator of Twitter.
* Twitter like the chatting at the water cooler on steroids.
* Twitter Tantrums, really? Swapping barbs on Twitter is not a good idea. Tiny Twitter tirade… don’t do it!
* I may turn into an enthusiastic hashtag machine. #hashtag #gettingtwitter #lovetwitter #Imatweeter #Imjustsaying #helloanyoneoutthere
* Twitter is an addiction worthy of a 12 Step program.
* Hi, my name is @mommytwitter, and I’m a Twittaddict.
* You’re addicted to twitter when you tweet your partner to turn out the light, when you’re both in bed.
* Twitter is like crack when you realize Twitter should be called “Twitch” for how compulsively your fingers are at needing to keep typing something.
* I require random tweets and blog posts from random people to make it through the week.
* My tween kids think my tweets and blogs are a confetti bomb of our small embarrassments.
* Twitter is only 140 characters? Don’t worry my editor is good at eliminating “unnecessary characters”.
* I just use Twitter, so I can talk the goofy Twitter-speak.
* I think I’m going to have to outsource my tweeting to India- ghost tweeting.
* How many tweets can a twitter tweeter tweet if a twitter tweeter could tweet?
What are you favorite Tweets?
Pam, I can’t stop laughing. This has to be one of the funniest posts I’ve seen in a long time. Many of these things crossed my mind but I never gave any serious thought to blogging about it.
My favorite? Outsourcing your Tweets to India! What a riot and a wonderful sense of humor you have.
My personal favorite are the internet marketers whose credo appears to be “My name is Bob, go buy my stuff”. Most of the time, I just shake my head and snicker a bit.
At any rate, thanks for making my Friday a better one!

Dan , glad you liked it. I try to write a “What I learned and other random thoughts” blog , once or twice a month. These are usually random things I observed, overheard, or experienced in that past week. The blogs are a lot of times centered on a certain topic or events. (Check out the swim suit shopping random thoughts blog). And don’t forget to check out this week’s blog about What I learned about the State Fair Foods!
