Twitter

[ciphergoth]

I joined Twitter. I'm toying with the idea of filtering for quality a lot less when I post to Twitter - forward every link that briefly entertains me, Twitter about the slightest minutae of the day that amuses me to share. I generally find it hard to post now for some reason unless I think I've something worth posting, which is one reason why nearly all of my posts are public.

Those of you who have been there a while - what sort of Twittering is too much, outside the range of Twitter etiquette? Please don't say "post what you like" unless that's just what you mean - I do want to know what people actually think.

(Oh, also I might decide to do it and then not get around to it...)

As much as you like, and I do mean that. Twitter isn't something where people should expect to be able to read their entire feed every day anyway - it's more for dipping in and out of in odd moments - so there's no such thing as "too often." Part of the point of it for me is also to get a sense of community by sharing parts of people's lives that I don't otherwise see, so there's also no such thing as "too dull", because knowing (say) what colour trousers Doris is wearing every day gives me a little bit of the sense of familiarity with Doris that I would get from seeing her in person every day.

I haven't felt like I've had much time to twitter since the New Year - must try to do it more often, because I do enjoy it.
