Twitter my Feed, er, Feed my Twitter, er, My Twitter Feed

twitter-bird

Admittedly, I haven’t been actively Twittering, or Tweeting, or whatever, for long, but I seem to have reached a ceiling of 24 followers. And today I lost one, so I’m down to 23. Perhaps my tweets are too impersonal and snobbishly, self-aggrandizingly wordy, whatever I mean by that. I tried adding popular hashtags, like #ScottProuty and momentarily trending phrases, like “Veronica Mars Kickstarter,” without having the slightest idea of who these people are or why anyone is tweeting about them.

Because I have deep respect for my Daisybrain blog readers, I have decided to share some of my tweets with you & let you be the judge of why I am a failure at Twitter. Many tweets are taken from the Daisybrain blog as part of my not-so-secret plan to attract people to this blog. So here is a sample:

Tweets

Since starting this post, I’ve somehow attracted one more Twitter follower, so we are back up to the magic number 24. My hope is that after I publish this post, readers will help my Twitter feed explode to over 25 followers.
