#infiniku - a haiku where the thought in the third line leads into the first - an infinite haiku.
Usually, only a day or two. Still, now that I get it, it's more like a religion than an addiction. It IS about connection after all.
There isn't much I feel a need to shorten. Most of the time, I find 140 characters is more than I need.
Attacking other users and stealing content without attribution. Twitter seems to amplify one's best and worst traits.
Too many to name. I adore those tweets that do something amazingly creative in a short space.
There are many but, I most love those that unknowingly come just at the right time in the life of someone else. I adore serendipity.
I've never unfollowed anyone but I try to limit my follows to people offering only of themselves rather than business interests.
Continually dig for and discover the most authentic you. Tweet from that place ... always.
Hands down: TweetDeck. Yeah, I know some like others better. It's what I use the most either on PC or my iPod Touch. Quick, easy, useful.
That I know of, none of those in my family or circle of friends use Twitter. I guess I keep my own habits rather modest.
Find new innovative ways to use the service and to promote membership to those not yet using it.
Most definitely it's connecting with cultural creatives all over the world. The human heart is literally and splendidly everywhere.
For me, Twitter's a great testbed for poetry. If I invoke or don't invoke emotions in others, I discover something incredibly useful.
Like haiku, tweets seem a quick & easy way to preserve and share - or create - the meaningful moment.
My wife and, if they don't already, Margaret Atwood, Stephen King, Gary Snyder, Tom Waits, and my missing old friend Mike Henshaw.
My wife isn't on Twitter yet or my parents. I also have a good old friend I've not heard from in years.
Twitter's helped improve my writing and made it easy to share. In the least, if it's not worth Tweeting, it needs work.
Was and still is the baggy-pants-below-the-hips thing. Deliberately uncomfortable clothes. Hilarious.
Most of the time, by offering only what I think, what I feel. It's hard, but I try not to offer what's all too common.
Goode senses and a sound mind, the ability and willingness to empathize, companionship, a unique perspective, paper, pen or pencil.
At first, it was excruciating. I was convinced I had nothing worth sharing. I guess I wanted to discover if that was really true.
"Empathy", "reason", "cultural creative", "HSP - Highly-Sensitive Person", "Non-violence", "Awe", "Wonder", "Pantheism", "Pansexual".
I've always been unhappy with the way backgrounds are handled on Twitter. Customization is a bit clunky.
