Do you do Twitter? I do, but I don't tweet. (a "tweet" is a post, just in case you don't know) I signed up for an account mainly to follow a few people/organizations, two being Alton Brown and the Dallas Cowboys. I've followed others, but the constant, multiple re-tweets from other followers drive me crazy so I've un-followed nearly everyone else.
I am a huge fan of Alton Brown and his work on The Food Network and his tweets are sometimes funny, sometimes full of snark but usually both. He often tweets a reply to a question with an uploaded photo of his answer on a sticky note, almost always good for a smile. I noticed a *"hashtag" #WishMeLuck on one of his posts and clicked on the link.
*(from the site- Definition: The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.)
I almost wish I hadn't. Most were mundane, one of the main reasons I don't follow many on Twitter:
Gonna try to sleep early tonight #wishmeluck
Driving lessons with daddey :) #wishmeluck
(I realize most tweets are done on a phone and typos are frequent, but "daddey" need to give her some spelling lessons)
Some were a little sad, even though I didn't know the people:
Surgery got moved to tomorrow #wishmeluck
Surgery tomorrow #wishmeluck
Got Tommy John surgery tomorrow. #wishmeluck
2 surgeries in 1 tomorrow #wishmeluck
I don't know the demographics of Twitter, but I would wager the service is mostly used by young people because there was a lot of angst about school. With some of these tweets, there's no wonder there's angst.
Looks like I'm winging this exam tomorrow. #WishMeLuck

Memorizing Romeo & Juliet prologue in one night #WishMeLuck

If I can make it to school tomorrow it will be my 3rd time this year making it a full week #wishmeluck
There were a lot of tweets about jobs, either starting them, applying for or interviewing for them:
Wellll, just sent in my application to be a Flight Attendent #wishmeluck
Got My First Job Interview Tomorrow #WishMeLuck
Bout to go get interviewed at chilies!! #wishmeluck
All ready for my interview!:) #WishMeLuck

And some were really funny; I think I'd like to know more about them...or maybe I wouldn't:
Teaching mom how to follow people on twitter was hard enough, now she has an Instagram. #wishmeluck
Setting my alarm for 6:40 so I can get up and attempt to look cute tomorrow #wishmeluck
Drinking till my mouth doesn't hurt anymore #wishmeluck

And my personal favorite of the bunch; he sounds desperate, using quite a few hashtags:

Yeah, I am too, but I do not post very much, if at all. On Twitter, the most famous person I follow is Ricky Williams, former RB, Longhorns, Saints, & Dolphins; I tweeted twice last week to enter a contest (Ooh!).
What is your @username, Mike?
@localmalcontent
It's my "real name" mal. I'll start following you and you'll know. Like I said, though, I never tweet...my life just isn't interesting enough. I used to have your name, but have forgotten it. I found you on Facebook once, then deleted the account, then started back up again.
I used to follow a few celebs on Twitter, but like I said, the retweets showing up drove me crazy. I've quit a few because I had no idea of their politics before and wish I hadn't known because they ruined how I thought of them. They're welcome to their views, but I don't have to read them, either.
I have a twitter account too Mike, but have just never gotten into tweeting. I don't think anyone would care about me working 12 hours a day and then watching television or reading the rest of my waking hours. I would be a real boring person to follow.
This one made me lol because it would be my daughter ( if i let her on twitter)
