I have a Twitter
account and ...
Like most people who do some business on the Internet, I have a Twitter account. And I have recently reached 100 of followers.
How many do I follow back? Not even one. Well, to be quite honest, I do follow one, but that's some Twitter directory and to be listed in it, you need to become their follower.
Want to follow me? Well, I don't care, but don't expect me to follow you back and it's unlikely that I will be replying to your tweets sent my way, although if you retweet my tweets I will certainly not mind that. Nothing personal, but I thought I would say it, so that you don't think I don't like you or something. Not at all, it's just the way I do things on Twitter.
So it's up to you. My Twitter ID is emini_guy (what else did you expect, anyway?) and here is a link to my Twitter page:
http://twitter.com/emini_guy.
Most people who follow me are marketers or traders. It's a pretty good guess that the traders are a minority among them. And it's rather easy to tell a marketer from a trader as the former follow like
hundreds if not thousands of people. I am not sure this makes much sense, but since I definitely have a thick skull surrounding that part of the brain that houses the marketing department, I am unlikely to ever get
it: low penetration rates.
I also have a Facebook account. Not many friends at all. Just one that I admitted rather
reluctantly and I don't think it was a good idea. Not long ago, this fellow asked me if I could possibly post my trades (as seen
here) to my Facebook wall. Really, for just one friend
who I
even don't know from a pixel on my screen? Now, that's rich. It's as if this guy could not bookmark
this page and check it out from time to time. He needs this page to be broadcast on Facebook just for him and his stinking convenience of a lazy bum. Sorry pal, it's not going to happen.
See, I don't get this Facebook crowd, and I don't even like them. I get the Twitter crowd, though. It's obvious that by and large the Twitter mob consists of
narcissistic dipshits who believe that their every stinking fart should be immortalized on the Internet. Well, what can
you do? There are people like that out there and if you have not met them yet, just head to twitter.com. But the Facebook crowd? I don't get them at all, but I suspect they are even worse than the Twitter crowd. Yes,
this still can be possible. Remember, this is the Internet, the place
where you can find all possible and even impossible extremes. And that is
so true that, in fact, sometimes I think I am the only normal guy out
there. Ever read what some of these people think of Obama? Unreal... And
that's just one example.
