How/Why do you add twitterers?
April 2, 2007
Just a quick post before I get started at work.
I have had some people add me on twitter who I don’t really know and I’m kind of curious as to why me? So I asked the question on twitter and I’m looking forward to seeing the answers.
But I figure I should probably answer myself first. I add anyone back who has added me (and if I haven’t added you back it’s likely cause I thought I did and then I forgot, so you can send me a message if I haven’t added you back and I will do so asap). I do that cause I want to know the people who want to know me. 
Most of the people I have added I have met in person, but some people are friends of friends who have been mentioned in twitters in an interesting context. I like to have different perspectives and see the world in a positive way, so if people seem to fall in that category I will add them. But to be honest I don’t really add many people that I have gone and searched for myself, mostly cause I’ve been busy with school and stuff, but maybe if I find myself with some freetime I will go and read twits by random folks and see what I like.
That’s all. If you have an answer for me, reply here, or add me on twitter (charlotteann) and twit your response!
Working now. Later folks!
I often add people that I see people I am following send @’s to, particularly if they are replying to someone I have either met or read/listened to but don’t already have on my list. That way I can see both sides of the conversation!
I am pretty much the same way. I have met a lot of the people or others have twittered @ or about them. One of the big downfalls of twitter is the context issue. If people are having a conversation and you are only getting one side of it you miss out on so much. Like listening to someone in public on a cell phone.
I add people that others have. The more the merrier and more entertaining Twitter is for me.
It’s like the Borg mentality…the collective is much stronger and smarter than the individual. Especially when the individual is me!
Thank You
