>With Twitter comes Great Responsibility

On June 12, 2009 · 2 Comments · In Uncategorized

>Today I reached 400 followers on twitter. This post is not a boast about it, but it is about something I learnt a few days back.
Tweeting to 400 tweeple is a responsibility, considering that they come from different backgrounds and different geographical locations around the world.

I am not thinking in terms of having a high follower number, which many people are running after. I am just thinking that to tweet to so many people one has to be aware of many differences. If I keep hanging out with my close friends, and similar people whom I am comfortable with, then I might not realise a lot of things.

While recession has not affected me personally, there are others to whom it has! So when I sent out a funny tweet about how people complained about lack of jobs, it might not be funny at all to some others. I did see a fall of at least 10 followers the next day.

So what I realised is that with tweeting comes great responsibility!

    >It is not just a responsibility but also that you'd want to be careful on what you let out to all these people.And besides, you shouldn't really be worrying as most people filter out what they're not interested in either manually or using tools.And congrats on having so many followers.
