If you know me or have been following my twitter for any length of time, you may have seen me refer to my Twitter rules. And I wanted to finally clear the air and make these known as best as I can. Granted, my mind is a strange place to enter so be forewarned.<\/p>\n
Some have called me a snob because the ratio between the number I follow vs. the number who follow me is so wide. Or that I am somehow making things like high school (cool kids vs. the nerds). I still consider myself one of the “nerds” so this just seems incredibly unfair.<\/p>\n
I currently have 700 twitter followers and I know each one equals a very real person. And I love you! I do!<\/em> Last thing I would want to do is hurt someone’s feelings. You should also know that I suffer from a great need for approval and acceptance. The idea that I not be liked for something as trivial as following or not following someone on Twitter, keeps me awake at night.<\/p>\n But for me to follow each and every person who chooses<\/strong> to follow me is far too chaotic for me to handle. And so I put some rules in place to help keep a balance.<\/p>\n * I follow no more than 75 people at a time.<\/p>\n * Direct messages are not my email and I don’t need yet another inbox to maintain. I also use my phone to receive direct messages. So keeping my follow list low, prevents unnecessary direct messages from coming in and taking over my phone as well.<\/p>\n * If someone @replies me, I will almost always reply back. Which to me, means more than an actual follow. I am a big about twitterversing and interacting with all peeps who interact with me. Don’t believe me? Check my work<\/a>. I also keep searches saved on topics that I want to follow (ie. porn addiction, church communications, etc.).<\/p>\n * I only follow people I know will @reply me back. So, no celebrities or twitterlebrities. And if you look at my follow list, the majority are people I know IRL or are in close relationship with on the internet.<\/p>\n * I will stop following a person if they don’t update their twitter at least once a week. Because my Twitter follow limit is so low, I don’t want to waste it with someone who isn’t engaging in the Twitter process.<\/p>\n * I will stop following someone who only talks about one thing: ie. Sports. I want to have something in common with the people I follow.<\/p>\n There’s probably more but this is the basic run-down of how I use twitter. Does it make me a snob? No. I don’t think so. OCD? Absolutely. And I hope that answers any questions still lingering.<\/p>\n If you know me or have been following my twitter for any length of time, you may have seen me refer to my Twitter rules.
