JMGraham Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 After many, many years of social media neglect (e.g., my Facebook), I've decided to learn how to use Twitter. We'll see how long it lasts, but for now it's an honest attempt at connecting with the regional (and beyond) gaming community. I realized that my twitter feed, @WorldsmithJim has exactly one tweet, from my first Kickstarter (remember when exploded vehicle markers used to be a thing in 40k? That long ago). I need advice! Any geek or gaming-related folks I should be following? News, rumors, reviews and the like? What are your favorite hobby feeds? Terrain, painting and the like? If any Ordo folk use twitter, what's your twitter handle? Do they even call them handles? Call signs? Monikers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Let me know how this goes... I know I work in an industry where I should be all over this Twitter thing but to quote Maui from Moana. "When you write it with a bird it's called tweeting" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMGraham Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'd totally enjoy regular Derkly insights and witticisms! It'd be like having the sarcastic brother I never had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Having just spent a few twitchy weeks cold-turkeying myself OFF Twitter and Facebook, my advice is... don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 More seriously: I'm not actually on Twitter myself, but I would assume that it's a similar process to how I got started on my blog list. Start with a couple that catch your eye*, watch the replies and conversations, start following people who have interesting and intelligent things to say, and just sort of feel your way from there. Join in conversations when you have something relevant to add that hasn't been mentioned. *Or just that you know are going to have plenty of action. Perhaps @warofsigmar and @FLGTV? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the internet... You should always express your opinions loud and boisterously, and when someone doesn't agree with you... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
