Hello there, old friend!

This week’s Twitter refresh has caused me to realize that I have completely checked out from my Twitter account and am committing the most annoying Twitter faux pas. Most of my tweets are posts from Instagram or scheduled posts from Buffer. I am often unresponsive when people reply to these comments, because I hadn’t even opened Twitter on my phone in ages, before I started focusing on it for this week’s lessons.

I was surprised to come back to the platform and remember how much I love having hundreds of tiny snippets served up for me, every few minutes. This medium used to provide me with news, entertainment, and snippets from my friends’ lives. I had completely forgotten why it was valuable to me, at one point.  I even used to tune in for encouragement and uplifting in my day.  Some of my favorite Twitter accounts to follow for a daily boost are:

The net outcome of my time invested in Twitter this week wasn’t so much learning anew, as it was remembering why I liked the medium in the first place. It was like visiting with an old friend and reminiscing about “the good times.” I look forward to picking up the baton and running toward discovery of my personal brand, however dysfunctional and scatterbrained it might be!
