My Twitter Rules

Posted on April 22nd, 2008 by Sterkworks

I love Twitter. I love my Twitter buddies and really do care that they are happy and healthy and safe. I read their tweets. I care about their lives, even though most of them I have never met. I learn from them. I am a better person because of them.

And thus, my Twitter rules. My rules are about who I follow. I follow real people. I follow real people who I might have something in common with, or who I might learn something from to better myself or my life. Or I follow someone who is just plain interesting.

My Twitter rules:

  • If you only tweet every four months, I don’t follow you.
  • If you tweet only in Portuguese, or German, or Chinese, I CAN’T follow you.
  • If you tweet only to try and sell me something, I won’t follow you.
  • If you are following 20,000 people and have only been tweeting for three days, I won’t follow you.
  • If I follow you and you end up not following me after three months, it means we have nothing in common and I stop following you.
  • If you are in Utah or are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans-gendered, or a Mormon or an ex-Mormon, I am more likely to follow you.
  • If you have children and your posts frighten me about the safety of your children, I will not follow you.
  • If your moniker sounds like something out of a porn movie, I won’t follow you.

I think that is about it. Oh, and you can follow me at twitter at http://twitter.com/sterkworks. After all, if I am too boring, which is a complete possibility, you can always stop following me.

    Twitter is so freakin’ addictive. Like chocolate, but not quite so yummy and less likely to show on my hips. Good rules. Similar to mine, except the Utah BLGT thing. :)

    I wish you would follow me…’cept I don’t twitter and by following Danette, you are pretty much following me since she makes fun of me all the time on there. I can hardly do ANYTHING In life without fear of her saying “Im gonna twitter that!”

    Just found you via FSF! Yay!

    I just very recently started twittering. You’re my hero. You have more followers than you’re following. This is all I want in life. Is that so wrong?!
