edutwitter is a rich trove of voices. It has completely changed the way I educate. Doooooo it.

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?".

They should've called it, p'ello, I guess.
Twitter is asking me if I want to follow patton oswalt, where have I gone wrong in life to have had twitter make this suggestion to me,
Do I have to take confession, how many hail marys do I have to say
How have I sinned
― 龜, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 11:57 (nine years ago) link
you have to follow patton oswalt, sorry it is just the way of the tweet
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 12:59 (nine years ago) link

I never got into twitter cause I had no idea what to write, ever. I admire writers in general because a blank canvas is really daunting to me.
― Evan, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 14:38 (nine years ago) link

you can start opinionating about things in the news but be careful to never explicitly note what you're talking about. this keeps some mystery alive for your followers who aren't reading the same things you are.
