So I have this Twitter thingy account and it is amusing and all, but today I accidentally pushed some button and all of a sudden a list of Tweets that mention my @OregonEconomics pops up. Thing is, many of these I never saw at the time. I suppose they pop up in my timeline, but I don't obsessively check Twitter so it looks like I have often missed them.
All this is to say I am sorry to those that tried to communicate with me via Twitter. I am old and easily befuddled.
[I am also very busy these days so it'll be light blogging this week - sorry]
Wow. That is one woeful tale right there. Yes, by all means, check what people are saying to you--that's a key feature of the service.
ReplyDeleteI recommend you start using tweetdeck and set it up so you can see everything easily.
ReplyDeleteI honestly have no idea how people use twitter without it.
Step one: Go to Apple App Store
ReplyDeleteStep two: Buy 'Twitter' app (its free)
Step three: run... on the left, you'll see a balloon for your twitter feed, and underneath, a @ sign, which if you click, shows you JUST the tweets which mention your account name.
Step four: most important - pour a beer and ignore above three. Social media is too ever-present! Better to have a beer with friends at a local brewpub.
Props for even having an account. I'm of the technologically savvy age group and have no desire to learn how to use Twitter.
