Twitter Gave Me A Present Today

Published by Michael at 5:34 pm under Twitter

A little while back I wrote a post: What Makes Twitter So Valuable? Well today, Twitter gave me a present. I received a notice that someone was now following me. I always look at their bio’s and recent tweets to get an idea of who they are in order to determine if I should follow back or not. There was no bio, no blog listed and in fact, pretty much devoid of any way to determine who this person was.

But, one of their tweets did catch my eye:

my new favorite blog http://failblog.wordpress.com/ 11:46 AM February 05, 2008 from web

I figured this would shed some light on who this person was — it didn’t, and while I still don’t know who it is — they do have a great sense of humor so I followed back. I also added the failblog to my reader for those times that I need some comic relief.

Thanks @lenvt.

Thanks Michael - that made my day, too
(btw., your page asks me for a password for sapfeedingknowledge.com - what’s that about???)

Frank,

Not sure what you mean. I don’t get a password prompt nor have I seen or heard anyone experience a similar issue. But, I’ll look into it.

Michael:

That’s me, a bit strange to be reading about it. Glad to hear you like the fail blog.
