Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yes! When a severe weather event is or has happened, I get shouted at for tweeting or retweeting.

Keep it simple and best advice, no profanity. That turns people off and sends them to the unfriend or block button!

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Yes it has. It is difficult to say everything in 140 charactors. But, I am able to post once and it goes across my social network.

Nobody Knows!
