5 From My Twitter Follow List

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Twitter. On one hand, I hate the limited word count and how so many people use it as just a means of promoting their own stuff. On the other hand, I love the fact that I can promote this blog on my Twitter feed to the 80 people who actually follow me.
Since my random moments of wanting to drop Twitter, I have realized that there are actually a few Twitter feeds I would miss I dropped Twitter (again).
Another Closed Down

I closed my Google+ Profile today. When asked why I was doing so, I submitted the following answer:
I rarely use Google+ for anything. I know maybe three people on it, and they never use Google+. It does not connect to things like WordPress for it to be any use as a promotional vehicle. What little content that is on here is available through other sources (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.) that Google+ is redundant.

Well, I thought I was.

A few of my tweets from the past week.
First up are a couple of tweets I sent as a general observation/complaint about Twitter and its suggestions.
#DearTwitter if I hide a suggestion on who to follow, it probably means I do not want to follow them. Please note that in the future—

Love seeing the people that are on my suggested list here. It's like #Twitter has the inside track of my mind, and ignores it anyway—

I was trying to create a hashtag trend with #XMasGoneBad. This one I think is the best of the three I posted.

Okay, so you have blown out your creativity with the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Yet, you still have a blog that you feel some degree of obligation of maintaining. What do you do? Here are a few suggestions that I have resorted to.

One of the cool things about using WordPress.com is that it keeps tracks of a lot of statistics for you. If you want to know how many hits you got, it will tell you by day, week, or month.
