5 Traits You Will Find Common To Almost All Twitter Addicts
Twitter is a social
networking platform that has people online 24/7. Even while you sleep, people
will continue to communicate and share. There are those who say that people on
the social site are
there because they have nothing better to do in their lives
offline, but I beg to disagree. Maybe the detractors simply do not get Twitter
or have not really realized that we can now tweet beyond our desks. It is just
that we love to share and engage with people that we have come to know. We
enjoy their company, wherever we may be.
I have come to know a lot
of interesting people who I now call friends, and to some extent I call family.
You might say, “Wth is this person talking about?” Well just like in our
everyday life, when we meet people and we speak with them constantly, you tend
to build meaningful relationships with those people. The only difference here
is that even if we have not yet seen each other in real life, we have connected
with a bond that is quite unique. You should really get to know who you follow,
and always make sure you engage people in your stream when you can.
One thing I’ve noticed
about the people I follow and those following me is that there are 5 positive
traits common to almost all Twitter addicts:
1. They love to read and share – Tweeps read and share a lot. I know
when I see something useful, I write about it and tweet about it. Who knows,
that piece of information might be very useful to others!
2. They constantly look out for people – When someone has not been tweeting
as much as they usually do, you will see people asking about that particular
person, whether via the stream or DM, to try to make sure that person is
alright.
3. They make their opinions known – We all have a mind that thinks on
our own, and we all have our views on certain matters that interest us. If it
is a service that makes claims beyond what it can deliver, you will see people
tweeting about it. I believe that it is a positive trait, to be able to get out
of our shells and speak out.
4. They share a love for beauty,
inspiration and laughter –
Twitter is a great big world where artists, designers, poets, writers, bankers,
comics, engineers, scientists, etc… come together and share. It is a platform
where, in one tweet, you can get a vast amount of information and inspiration.
5. They are giving – I am so lucky and grateful that I
have followed and have become close with the most giving and unselfish people
from all over the world. I do not think I would have had the chance to
meet these amazing people if not for my involvement on Twitter. They are people
who share my links, they are people who give recommendations, and they are
people who share words of encouragement when you need it most.
