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?
