Of Blogging and Tweeting

Posted in: 2009 posts | About Blogging | blog | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Interest | NaBloPoMo | Personal Thoughts | Tweets | Twitter | University: Year 1

Instead of choosing October or December, I chose November as my NaBloPoMo month. I’m totally new to this but there’s always first-times for anything! Hopefully, I’m doing it right. Why November? Hmm… It’s actually a part of my BoP plan which I’ll blog about later after I thought deeply of the matter. Anyway… I thought it’s a good way to get to know other bloggers around the world (I do read some of those on the blogroll). It’s also a way to bring more readers here… though I don’t really have much to offer other than the stories of my life and my opinions. But I love the NaBloPoMo site, it’s a really nice place for bloggers to get together and discuss about blogging. I haven’t participate much on the site though (commenting etc), but I plan to do so during my semester break.

Also, starting from this post, I’m using a new kind of commenting system. DISQUS. Other than being attracted to the comment form interface, I had always wanted a comment system that enable readers to use their Twitter account to comment.

Twitter and tweeting… I still do it daily and recently I dragged another friend of mine to tweet! She had a good start… though she was a few weeks late to follow Miley Cyrus. Oh yeah. That name reminded me of something I just read yesterday. Apparently a fan of hers (or several? I didn’t take time to read through the original site) threatened to eat her/his cat, Fuzzy, if Cyrus doesn’t return to Twitter. My first reaction was this. Nasty, nasty fan(s). And bad influence. Sorry, @Neylev if you’re reading this. I’m really not a fan of hers. If she brings such influence (animal cruelty?)  to her fans then it’s better if she stay away from Twitter. Anyway. I’m more concerned of the cat actually and I don’t blame Cyrus entirely for this.. the fan(s) should’ve thought of better ways to reach out to her if they have brains to think.

 

Leaving that pathetic issue aside…  What do you think of re-tweeting someone whose twitter account is private/protected? I do RT some of my friends when they tweeted something interesting and suits my current thoughts. But one of those cool tweets belong to a friend with a private account. Evan Williams (Twitter CEO)’s tweeted :

retweet What if the protected tweets are about something very important that I think the world should also know about it?
Can I say that it depends on the protected twitter user?  Maybe some of them are okay with re-tweeting some of their tweets as long as it’s NOT ALL of them.

 
*sigh* To the friend I’m talking about, if you think I shouldn’t RT certain tweets (or all of it… though you know that my fingers will itch to re-tweet that cool, funny or interesting tweets of yours ;-D )  tell me so and I’ll stop.
