lol still haven't given it a first chance, Twitter is just about the worst thing to happen to the human race as a whole in quite some time.



I don't get twitter. If you're free 24/7 play some games.



Do the popular thing right now. Follow DJ Trump, wait a few minutes for his next tweet, quit twitter forever.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Follow my band hehehe

Well, you can use Twitter in many different ways. You can tweet actively, you can just follow, perhaps you only like retweeting, perhaps you like engaging in discussions. Pick your choice! Personally I don't tweet much but I follow a lot of interesting accounts, and I like retweeting when they have good stuff I want to share. Sometimes I might also engage in discussions, but not often. Mostly I treat Twitter as a great information source though, with lots of amusing bits in between. Twitter is also a great service for getting updates for a lot of other services.

There's at least two accounts you might find interesting: @IsHL3OutYet and @ZhugeEX (whom you might also know from this site). I also follow a few interesting tech-oriented accounts, but I'm guessing they go a bit too deep for most people...

EDIT: Oh, hashtags. Right, I forgot. Just use them when you feel like they're somehow relevant, or not if you don't want to. They don't really matter, but you can browse tweets by hashtag, so if you use a hashtag, people can find your tweet more easily. You might want to check out the hashtag #ff, which stands for Follow Friday. Basically on Fridays, people recommend accounts to follow by using that hashtag. Who knows, maybe you'll find an interesting account to follow?



I follow:

Basically a technology freak from MIT that also has a lot of videos:

Hashtags: if there's a specific subject you want to discuss, make a hash tag. Touching it will seek out that specific phrase. So, if you want to only see conversations (ie: #E32017) type that. If you want to see that discussion, touch or click on it.



I like to follow video game sites. I get notifications from them when there is new news. That way I don't even have to visit those sites for news, they push the news to me. If there is no new news I don't waste time visiting those sites.

And for some reason, woman keep sending me naked pictures wanting me to follow them.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!
