two points i want to share:

1. my frustration of searching for tweets from "everyone near me" and getting the most ridiculous, uneducated, asinine tweets. ugh.
2. according to a Pew study, Black women making less than 30K as recent grads are top tweeters: http://www.theroot.com/buzz/pew-stud...as-top-twitter

i didn't know i had the potential to be a top user of any social networking site, especially since most of my tweets are RTs and replies....

oh wait, am i feeding the "black women always have something to say about something" stereotype though Twitter? OH NOES!!!!1!


all of that to say, follow me! http://www.twitter.com/tld221

I'm guess geographically - I think Twitter gives a list of tweets based on where youre located. so i get folks who are probably standing in front of the building, or the corner store, or what have you. and their average age is probably 16, which means their usernames and posts are fodder for the "bad grammar" thread.

i'll try wefollow.com. i only am followng a few former co-workers-turned friends and random celebrities (and theyre not celebrities, its like news outlets and authors).

RT means "ReTweet" - it's a way of repeating what someone else said, and giving them credit.

Remember, Twitter is just a big cocktail party. The point is to engage with others.
