When Twitter is a Disappointment…
One of my favorite things to do when I want to relax is poke around in Twitter looking for interesting Tweets and then reading the blogs of the people who made them. There are so many talented, witty, unusual, generous and delightful people in Twitter-land!
I especially look for people who:
- Have an unusual point of view
- Have something interesting to teach
- Have an uplifting or inspirational message
- Might be a potential business associate
- Have something important in common with me
- Have a wild or wicked sense of humor
But it is so disappointing to read a great Tweet and then go to the Tweeter’s Twitter page only to find that they have no website listed in their profile! A dead end!
What is even worse (in my opinion) is when they have a page in their profile, but it turns out to be nothing but a sales page! BOOO! HISSSSSS!
There should be a rule that if you are on Twitter and you post great Tweets that you should be REQUIRED to have a blog so your readers can get to know you!
Come on people! It takes 5 minutes (and zero money) to set up a blog! You don’t have to post to it if you don’t want to… Just put up an “about me” page, if that’s all you can manage for now. Or I guess you could even put your Facebook or Myspace link in your Twitter profile… Just something friendly so your fellow Twitterers can get to know you better. (Anything but a sales page.)
If none of this made any sense to you, you need to join Twitter! It is fun and easy and opens up a whole new world full of fascinating people! Go to Twitter now and sign up for an account.
