Savor the Success

This is just a short addendum to my last post, "Everything I learned about Twitter I learned from being a screw up."

First, I thought of one additional piece of Twitter knowledge that I learned from screwing up. It's this.

RT = Re tweet. If You see an RT at the front of someone's post, that means they are passing some other person's post forward. I learned this when I--stupidly--responded to someone's tweet with the information her  RT had asked for, and then she DMed me, telling me that she did not need the info, and that, had I read the tweet carefully, I would have seen that she was Re Tweeting someone else's tweet. I, of course, responded by replying to her DM in my email inbox, and telling her that I was very sorry for the inconvenience. She never got it, I'm sure, because that is not how one is supposed to answer one's DMs. (See previous post if you have no clue what I am talking about).

Second, a couple people have asked me questions about how to set up a Twitter account. They even flattered me by referring to me as a "Twitter Expert." My answer? Flattery will get you nowhere because I have no earthly idea. I just don't remember how on Earth I ever set mine up, and because Twitter somehow knows my computer in a very creepy and intimate way, it automatically signs me in whenever I go there. So I can't even go to Twitter and pretend to create a new profile. It won't let me.

Fortunately for everyone who wants this information, I happened to stumble across it today. The universe just sort of handed it to me. Go here to learn more: http://www.twitip.com/how-to-set-up-a-twitter-account/

Alisa Bowman is the world's worst non-expert on Twitter. You should follow her anyway--because she's quite delightful and has a nice smile--at http://twitter.com/Alisabow. You also really ought to check out her blog. All of the cool folks are reading it: www.projecthappilyeverafter.com. Plus, word on the street is this: if you subscribe to her blog, Hugh Jackman will want to marry you.
