The Twitter Thread - Post Your Twitter Handle and let's all follow each other

I have everybody above this point. :)

Cinderella, you have to sign up, then follow people. Next time you log in, you'll see the messages from the people, and only the people, that you follow.

I had trouble making an account - I forget how I fixed it though. What kind of trouble do you have? Maybe it will jog my memory.
 
I am not a twit. :p

I don't Twitter.

I don't Twitter or Facebook or Myspace or any of that jazz, either :D I call and email and (super rarely) text. Texting, though, is more for when I want to remind someone to pick something up from the store and they've already left.
 
For me, I have an iPhone with TweetDeck. Twitter is an awesome tool for getting the pulse of virtually anything going on. It really helps figure out where people are leaning on particular days. Some people use it to post personal things like what they ate and so forth, and I find that unnecessary. However, as a way of spreading information virally and instanteously, Twitter is the best thing out there, IMHO.

Walshgate: How come top Mass. Dem couldn't hook up with Rachel Maddow by more traditional means?
By adamg - 3/5/10 - 7:47 pm
UPDATE: Maddow declares she isn't running; appreciates a good joke as much as anyone.

OK, so it was kind of interesting this morning that some people had set up a Facebook page to try to convince MSNBC talent and Northhampton resident Rachel Maddow to run against Scott Brown in 2012 (they're now 5.2% of the way toward their goal of getting 10,000 people to sign up). It got even funner this afternoon when John Walsh, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, got wind of the boomlet and posted what sure seemed like it was meant to be a private message on the Tweety:

Some are talking about you running vs Scott Brown in '12. I'm Chair of MA Dem Party. My email is [email protected] cell-617-650-9311

Apparently I'm not the only one disappointed to learn that politicians don't have instant access to everybody's phone numbers (you know how losing candidates always call the winning candidate on election night - where do they get their phone numbers from?) - there's now a Twitter discussion on #walshgate. And please, for goodness sake, don't go calling Walsh and asking if his refrigerator is running.

Amy Derjue, who has some familiarity with Twitter issues, provides this thought:

#walshgate is like clicking "reply to all" in Outlook. But to the whole internet. Cue overwhelming paranoia whenever DMing from now on.
 

See my twitter link in my sig? Click on that, and it will take you to my page. Under my name, above my tweets, you'll see a box that says "Follow." Click that, and then you're following me. You can browse the people who I follow and follow them, or browse the people who follow me.

You can use the Search For People box at the top if you want to follow somebody you know - For example, type "Ron Paul" and the suggestions you get should include @RepRonPaul.
 
Does your Twitter handle have Klout>

Here is mine:

@AbolishTheFed is a persona

You have built a personal brand around your identity. There is a good chance that you work in social media or marketing but you might even be famous in real life. Being a persona is not just about having a ton of followers, to make it to the top right corner you need to engage with your audience. Make no mistake about it though, when you talk people listen.
