New Followers Anyone?

           Today was a great day on twitter.  What does this mean exactly?  It means that my news feed was worth reading articles and retweeting them.  It means that I found things interesting enough to share them with all 700 plus members of my twitter family.  This post is actually dedicated to one of them!  You'll see our twitter conversation below.  I tweeted that I get all my news and interesting happenings from twitter, and she said that she gets them from me.  This is inspiring considering that all I'm doing is retweeting, but there's just something about sharing that brightens my day.  It really was a great twitter day.  

         However, everyday isn't like this.  Some days my twitter feed is full of nothingness, and I don't even bother to tap the app again for the rest of the day.  Do you have days like this?  What does your twitter feed look like?  As a result of bad twitter days, I research and follow those that I'm interested in.  I want to know what their lives are like.  For example, I am infatuated with Congresswomen!  They are so outspoken on twitter.  Moreover, after working in a congressional office, I know that most members prefer that they run their own twitter feeds.  They tweet just like you and I.  There are no robots on the other side!  Its all live and real.  

        For example, in recent news, unemployment insurance has been a hot topic.  Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee tweeted the following message.  It's thought provoking! Riveting!  Crazy! True! Real! All at the same time!  I couldn't help but to retweet and add it to my instagram for even more discussion!  Following Congresswomen is just that real to me.  Especially, if you see them speak live and can envision them saying exactly what they tweet.  

         This month, I promised you resolutions that you and I may share, and I'm pretty positive that this is one:  to follow interesting people and things!   I've included some of my favorites to follow.  Try some of mine or find something even more interesting to you.  Share it with the rest of us.  I just love to have great twitter days! Happy New Year Tweeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
