365 Days. 1000 Tweets.
Posted 5 months agoThree hundred and sixty-five days ago, I signed up for Twitter because I wanted to experience something totally new. I was never really into social networking, or at least the notion of it, and back then, I still didn’t even get the concept of Facebook.
Luckily for me, Twitter had one of the simplest user experiences, where you just had to post 140 character messages and follow people that you found interesting. I educated myself about the ideas, pros and cons of social networking through Twitter, and as the days (and tweets) went on, I’ve developed various relationships, friendships and fans of whom I’ve never met before. I have become so attached to Twitter, that in that span of 365 days, I’ve opened the app at least twice a day. In fact, I even persuaded my Mom to keep using it.
What will have I achieved if it wasn’t for Twitter? If I hadn’t signed up, I wouldn’t have established close friends, learnt some new and important things, received a Dribbble invite (of which I highly prize) and most importantly, I wouldn’t have been where I’m standing today.
If Twitter were a being right now, I’d invite it over for dinner, talk about memorable experiences and I’d give it a nice, hand-crafted thank you card.
#thankyou @Twitter, for those 365 days and 1000 tweets.
