So you’re on Twitter and (possibly) wondering why I’m on it, too? You’ve come to the right place!

My tweets are a mixture of comments on the web experience (including web design/development, blogging, social media, etc.), music, movies, black folk issues, LGBT issues and random, personal tidbits. These are my interests. I tend not to be interested in sports, politics, hip hop or top 20 network television programs.

I used to “protect” my tweets (make them private) unless I was attending a public function with heavy Twitter participation, such as SoCon or SXSW. However, Twitter has gotten so popular, that it’s more of a hassle for me to switch back and forth.

That stated, my Twitter stream is pretty diverse. As a result, my followers far outnumber the accounts I follow. There are simply too many. If you’re following me and I haven’t returned the favor, send me an email (< hover), keeping the following in mind:

Generally, I follow:

• People I know IRL (in real life)
• Longtime virtual/web friends
• Web Designers, Developers, Producers
• Social Media participants
• LBGT folk
• Atlanta folk
• Generally interesting people

Generally, I do not follow:

• People I don’t know who tweet about things I don’t care about
• Social Media/PR/Marketing “experts”
• Most apps/products
• Accounts that haven’t updated much (or at all)
• Accounts that only tweet an RSS feed
• Fake anything accounts
• People who don’t tweet in English (because it’s the only language I can read)

I will unfollow:

• Accounts that tweet offensive and/or insensitive crap
• Accounts that haven’t updated in months
• Accounts that tweet too often and/or about things I don’t care about

Note: This post is updated as my use of Twitter changes.

Pressure? What pressure?

Oops. Almost forgot to post my Favorite Tweets for December (and there are a lot of them).

On another note, I’m tired of this layout. I’m going to switch it up soon. I don’t really feel like fooling with the insides of WP so it may be just another template. Also, the hard work I’ve been (sort of) complaining about these past couple of months paid off.

Onward. Upward.
