#FF and Twitterspeak
My first attempt with Twitter earlier this year did not work out. Apparently I was a Twitter Troll. I tried to cut and paste my New Year’s Resolutions tweet on to other people’s tweets and Twitter suspended my account because they thought I was spam. Not to brag, but how many people get kicked off Twitter on the first day?
Twitter then made me click a box that made me promise I would not be annoying…<<insert smart ass comment here> Needless to say I went back to blogging and I didn’t follow anyone after that. Until today!
Today is “follow Friday” which is a time honored “tradition” (I have shoes older than Twitter) where you are supposed to write #ff and then list five twitter accounts you follow. This are ones about health and fitness that I actually do follow.
Here goes nothing:
Now, if you are 14 years old or younger you can skip this next part, but if you are older than that, read on:

That takes skill! I’ve been on there since nearly the beginning and never got thrown out. Wish I’d known you then, I’d have warned you that they frown on such things. It takes time, but is a great way to connect with people.
Why thank you. It is my goal to get thrown off all social networks at least once.
I feel bad because I don’t really understand twitter.
Me neither. I’m working on it.
I am still learning Twitter. My learning curve is rather large for that site.
Glad I’m not alone here!
I have been avoiding Twitter because it seems complicated. Really how can 140 characters be so hard? 🙂
I don’t know but IT IS!!!
