Controlling Twitter, if I can.
Time to get my Twitter act together. I have 4 useful Twitter accounts, but I’m not using them well. Over the next few days I’m going to try to organize them into a useful information stream.
I have my personal account, @rfawal. It’s of course the oldest account and is where most of my interaction happens. I need to make it a true personal account, where the focus is family, hobbies, and other things that I love simply because they bring me joy.
I have the @CandidAide account for my candidate consulting company, so I’m going to do all my political following there. Then there’s @MyJunto, my blog, which is a diary of my experiences as Intry to start a new social media company from the ground up. I’ll be following anyone who can give me advice or support there.
Finally I have @WatchParty, the account for the previously mentioned startup. It’s the company account, and for now will follow Angel and VC investors as well as everyone in the social media space relevant to our market.
I’m hoping that this will make me a better informed individual, by organizing my Twitter-fed information stream. I think most people haven’t figured out how to control Twitter. I sure haven’t, but I’m going to give this a try to see how it works out.
I do not have very high hopes.
