TWITTER FRIENDS
Recently, I’ve been tossing around the idea of starting a new Twitter account. One more focused on my outdoorsy babble. Thus, giving all my GEO/GIS friends a break from Fly Fishing, #getoutside, dogsrule talk, hiking, biking and vice versa.
My dilemma. From day one on Twitter I’ve followed one rule “tweet who you are” and the followers will come. It’s easy enough to click on that unfollow button and just be done with someone. Click, you’re gone! However, when that person provides quality content on more than one subject… making that click becomes a more complicated issue. To follow or not to follow? That is the question.
Surely, you have seen this on Twitter with some of your followee’s. Probably me, that crazy dude who can yak about GEO/GIS, Fly Fishing, #getoutside, his dogs and something funny his wife did or said in less than an hour. But, I have to say, that’s kind of what makes Twitter great, the open and honest release of thoughts, ideas and interest. Like them or not.
So, I guess what I’m asking is, do you continue to follow someone even though PART of what they say is of no interest to you, or do you drop them like a bad habit?
I’m seriously looking for feedback, please leave a comment with your thoughts.
Thanks for playing along, now go outside and do something fun!
Shannon..just be yourself man..managing too many twitter accounts can make your brain run wild..too much..My opinion is to have one account that is 100% you..you sound a lot like me..I have several sides to my story..but usually get fired up about what I am passionate about (Getting my outside on…via kayak,board of hiking)..but at the same time can talk business just as easy..keep it you and keep it real..on a side note If you see a red headed dude laying on the side of the road on Valentines day in downtown austin (marathon) just drag me into the ditch so no one steps on me..Best to you in 2010
