Week 7 ~ Twitter

Assignment: 

Write a blog post describing:

-Which search words you used to find your connections? Did you have to play around with more than one key term to start seeing the right results? Who did you end up finding?

-What lists did you create and why? How does creating a list on Twitter help you stay organized or reach a goal?

This was easy.  I used “Papercraft” and the page lit up!  There is a hashtag #papercraft so it was not hard to find both people and organizations, meaning clubs, groups, blogs etc that are into Papercraft. 

One person I found that thrilled me is a person who’s user name is Uhu02.  He is a master designer and builder of incredible Papercraft projects.  The background to my Twitter page, although it blew it out of proportion, is the Valley Forge from the movie Silent Running, one of my all time favorite movies and one of my favorite if not the favorite build I have done. 

I crated two lists as requested, a people list and a bus/club/org list.  This just made sense for now as I am not sure what I am doing there.  I have been looking on various twitter explained sites but still am at a loss to exactly what is occurring, well, I get that a bit, but more, how do I say hi to someone?  How do I syntax the message to get it where I want? 

And, for me, the ticker tape format is hard to follow… 

But, I’ll get it…

Oh, organization...  Not sure yet as I don't exactly understand the system.  But, I am guessing that I can learn to send tweets to specific groups, monitor specific groups defined by my lists?

Gee I hope I am right!  :)
