Happy Twitter Birthday To Me
35,053 hours – 1,461 days – 48 months – nearly 9,500 tweets – over 3,000 followers
Four years ago today I joined Twitter.
Iit’s still basically a status brodcasting service (or micro-blogging platform as some people call it) but for me, here’s how it’s had an impact :
- gotten me paid gigs in many countries
- reconnected with old friends
- established new ones
- answered questions and queries when things baffled me
- allowed me to disseminate my knowledge to others
- offered research opportunities regarding topics of interest
- given me real time insights from the audience during my speaking / masterclass gigs
- gives mediasnackers.com a third of all its traffic
In the past we’ve covered how newbies make mistakes, tweeting babble is good, how to find customers / clients / audiences and how even big brands get it wrong, but basically it’s just like a real room full of real people and the only benefit comes when you put time and energy into it.
So here’s to the next four years, breaking through my 10,000th tweets and continuing to reap the rewards from participating in a vibrant and global community through a simple online and mobile platform.
Recently I have started a new personal Twitter account, follow me as I prepare to emigrate to New Zealand.
