Oh look I've got three seconds to myself, I'll have a quick look on twitter. Just need to wait while Hootsuite loads up. Jeez it's slow. Why do I use this software? There was an actual reason a long time ago and now it's just become habit.
Hooray I've got into twitter now. I don't recognise half these people in my timeline, when did I follow them? Oh hang on there's a name I recognise. That person is always on twitter whenever I look at it. Either they have a nack of being on twitter whenever I am or they're forever tweeting. How many times have they tweeted I wonder, let's have a look. Wow that's a lot. That person is clearly on twitter constantly.
I don't know what to tweet, let me have a think.... hmmm... something banal about coffee. There we go. And I'll reply to that tweet about cats there.
Oo I've spotted an interesting looking conversation, I'll click on 'show conversation'. Yes that's why I use Hootsuite now. It allows me to be nosey. Oh look at that. Those two are having a falling out judging by that conversation. And there's a link to a blog post there too, let's click on that. I do like a bit of controversy as long as it's never my blog involved... Well I never. What an interesting read. I'm not adding a comment though. No, staying well out of that one.
Now back to twitter... look there's someone having a rant. And look at their language too. I bet they're as polite as anything in real life. They're quite annoying, I think I might unfollow. Actually I won't for now. What if they use that unfollow website or whatever it is and find out I unfollowed them and take it personally?
Herumph. No one's responded to my coffee tweet yet. Or replied to that cat tweet conversation yet. Am I invisible on twitter or something? Why do I use it again? Not actually sure.
I don't really recognise anyone in my timeline now and they're all chatting together like some sort of online coffee morning. Going onto twitter can make you feel very left out can't it?
Look someone has tweeted me, oh it's just spam. Shall I report them for spamming? It means logging into actual twitter which is even slower than Hootsuite so I can't be bothered.
There's a begging tweet. I really hope no one gives that person a new pushchair. Yes we're all short of money but begging for a pushchair on twitter is desperate in my opinion. Okay I'm officially annoyed by twitter now I think I'll have to go and do something else.
Oh, I've just noticed three people tweeted me and I didn't reply. They must think I'm ignoring them. Is it rude to reply to someone two days later?
One day I'll get the hang of twitter. I've only been on it for over two years.
I loved this post about twitter by Hot Cross Mum, she's as baffled as me.
