A quick introduction

I often get asked how to use twitter.
If you enjoy chatting, you will enjoy twitter, it is as simple as chatting, in fact it is easier than chatting, as no one is watching you! basically, twitter is a conversation, or lots of conversations all going on at the same time and you just choose which conversations you want to enter and which ones you want to ignore.
You can use twitter to follow celebrities, to follow news, to keep in touch with friends, to make new friends, to share events, to promote businesses, to show off photos and so much more.
I have been tweeting for a few years now and have gained over 10,000 followers, that may seem like a lot to you but many of my followers and people I follow have several more thousand followers than me! I still remember when I gained my 100th follower and how amazing I found that! saying that twitter has never been about numbers to me, (even if I did do a small run of tweets to push for that 10,000th follower) I have met some lovely people through twitter from all over the UK and further afield,  and some I have now met in person as a direct result of tweeting with them. I have often met local people for the first time and discovered that we follow each other on twitter, a useful conversation starter. and could act as an ice breaker!  
If you have just read this having recently set up your own twitter account please feel fee to follow me, just search @pearlysmith  on the twitter search bar - If you also send me a tweet to say you have followed me having visited my twitter blog, I will follow you back as I know how important it is to have followers when starting on your twitter journey.
If you are still too nervous to set up a twitter account, do not worry, I will be sharing tips about setting up accounts in my next blog post on here later!
but for those of you already tweeting hopefully I will see more of you over on twitter, bye for now!
