edutwitter is a rich trove of voices. It has completely changed the way I educate. Doooooo it.
― brosario nawson (m bison), Thursday, 26 March 2015 19:57 (nine years ago) link
how do you ignore the weight that sits on your first tweet and just post something, I am having a hard time with this tbh
― marcos, Thursday, 26 March 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
Don't tweet, just follow people who have 500+ followers and who you like, they have motivation enough to tweet
― 龜, Thursday, 26 March 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link
"Hi" is a good first tweet. Or "trying out twitter" followed by six months of silence.
― mh, Thursday, 26 March 2015 20:34 (nine years ago) link
just be sure to add "#gamergate" to all your tweets or no one will see them

There was never this type of precious debutante angst in the days of Citizens Band radio, just "One Nine One Nine a copy and what's your handle?".
