I’ll admit, I suck at Twitter. But I’m trying. These tips are helpful, but I find I’m too busy to set up all the pre-programmed stuff anyway. lol

I’ve only been serious about Twitter since the start of this year, so I haven’t been plagued by too many bots, but it was a surprise the first time I thanked a bot for an Retweet. -rolls eyes-

Most of the time I use Tweetdeck instead of Twitter itself because I like being able to see only the tweets coming from people I put on my ‘Close Friends’ list. I did try scheduling for a little while but…it was boring for me so I figured it would be boring for everyone else too. :/

Now I just have fun. See you there. 🙂

Facebook irritates me because most of my friends just share the same posts created by someone else. Twitter I’ve never really found a community on and I don’t really get it. For me, Social Media makes me feel more alone. I don’t get on it much anymore. I’m probably missing out, but I feel so much better.

Wow, Kristen! You said it! I loved Twitter back in 2010. I could get my writing news there and build relationships. I gave up on it quite a while ago. First, it became saturated with scheduled spam promo. Then the sponsored tweets started. I wanted to cry. What was so easy, fun, useful and engaging became a monster. Glad to know #MyWANA is still there for us.

Love this! When I was new to Twitter I was told to use all the hashtags I could. So I did. Whoops. But there is one lady in particular who automated one of my early tweets and she’s never changed it. And it’s not one of my better tweets. Bless her for RTing me faithfully on her robot RT program but um… I have another book out there and some better tweets. I just imagine the end of society and that tweet will still be running hundreds of years from now.

I’ve thought about getting into Twitter, but I’m nervous about a) getting lost in the forest and eaten by wolves; and b) having to read who-knows-how-many thousands of words of terms and conditions.
Do you think it’s worth it?

I read your post with some enjoyment, but the irony became tiresome after a while. I knew the CTAs and pitches would appear, but they were not too intrusive when I did get to them. I’ll try #MyWANA and see what happens. Thank you.

I worked as a social media coordinator at an agency and there were two things that really irked me (well, they still do).
1) Pushing content from one platform to another. If you are just tweeting Instagram photos then why would anyone bother following/engaging on Twitter?
2) List of hash tag after hash tag. A fellow soc med community manager told me I needed more # to find the right people. But if I have like 15 of them then I’m “spraying and praying”, as it were.
Stellar content as usual!
