On Twitter Friends

It’s been a year and half now. This emerging phenomenon called Twitter doesn’t seem to take aside in the flow of the interweb yet. Okay. I’ve played along with it’s stream of excitement. I can say that I too have become so attracted to it. 

Attracted in ways that I have found interesting things and interesting people out there. People that I can safe to say becoming my close friends. People that I can share some of my thoughts and dreams. Ah, I’m becoming too dramatic now, eh?

Asides from that. If you see on my following and followers list, I wasn’t your typical friends collector. I’m heedfully selecting whom I should follow, and whose in my following list. This conservative step that I took is to show that I wasn’t doing a popularity contest. I’m planning to make a network of close friends, networks that I can share with. 

In the process of doing such things, I admit that my plan wouldn’t be fulfilling. Other activities tend to diverted me focusing on Twitter 100%. In addition, there’s some in and out users that uses Twitter occasionally. People come and go.

What I can admit is yes, I have a close circle of friends in Twitter. Just like this theory proves. Face it, I can’t engage with all of my friends all at once. I usually interact my the inner circles only. You can see the tendency of my tweets is going through that direction.

No, I’m not being selfish at all. It’s simply a matter of how you use Twitter. I have other activities other than Twitter, so I have a short amount of time on using it. Do you expect me to engage all of my following and followers? Certainly not. Yet, it doesn’t mean that I’m not talking with other members. I did that too, though not so frequently.

I can tell you this though, I don’t have any requirements on whom I choose to become the inner circle. It’s part of the process. I’m an open-minded guy, I don’t like rules that are too binding. So, I’m open to everything. If we meant to be close friends, we’re gonna be close friends. Twitter is a tool. One of a tool that connects me in my digital life.

Twitter-Yahoo Mashup

The new mashup by Yahoo makes Twitter an alternative authoritative source for ultra-fast breaking news. This so-called TweetNews is a good move by Yahoo.

Hello Hello Again!

So here’s the story, about a month ago some stupid spammers bombed my site and succesfully bringing my blog down. They left their with some mess that makes my heart bleed. Screw you spammers!

Then I lost some of my posts and everything in between.

Well okay, enough with the mourning and all. Now here I am, back again, back with a vengeance, with an arsenal, have prepared for this new blog, and strengthen it with some attributes. No spammer, you can’t stop me from blogging, no you can’t.

This is a restart, a reborn, a rebuild. My life, my happiness, my experience, written solemnly through this medium some of us called blog.

Happy Reading everyone!
