The best suggestion I can make is to be very picky in who you follow. I don’t follow everyone back, and I think that’s why it’s still an interesting place for me to visit.

I hate being on Twitter. (This despite having owned or managed nearly 100 different accounts).

To me, Twitter trumps Facebook in encouraging people to complain, posture, snipe, and humble brag, and the effect is disingenuous and irritating. Visiting Twitter gives me nearly instantaneous social media fatigue. I also think Twitter encourages those insular cliques we have in Birmingham’s online community.

But–I have met a lot of interesting and cool people in person, facilitated by Twitter. I would love to find a way to meet those people without having to wade through all the muck.

I’m loving twitter because it is allowing me to meet new people and learn new information which I wouldn’t have had a chance to meet otherwise. I’m still learning, but it is a great experience.

Ah, but you do get it. You're just sharing it in a different form. Many of your blog posts on Bliss Bait are small and tweetable. Maybe you could share your favorite online art sites and inspirational quotes via Twitter. (And, of course, tell us your Twitter name.) Follow more people that inspire you. And you can copy what they do. Thanks for commenting.
