Geek Beat: Twitter Catch-Ups
Remember my huge Twitter meltdown last year? Yeah you do! Don’t play me! Well, slowly but surely, I have melted back into the Twitter world. Yes, there are concessions. While my account is open, I only follow a small group of good friends. Happy, healthy friends.
In my city, one café has embraced Twitter in a big way. Mooba (You may remember I wrote about it once upon a time), is the place to go for all Twitter enthusiasts. An absolute no-go for anyone who has had a Twitter meltdown. Well, in-between home Internet connections and absolutely gagging for net access I wandered down to Mooba and found a quiet corner.
It didn’t take long to be recognised. Within a few minutes I discovered a girl at the next table who knew a whole lot about my personal history while, as usual, I was at a loss as to who she even was! A quick search on Twitter, and I recognised her avatar — but I don’t follow her.
My new friend, lets call her @kirstimelville, introduces her female companion, another Twitter lover! Kirsti and Sarah (@saraphimsp) were meeting for coffee and a catch-up, having met each other through Twitter!
Not long after enjoying my Latté and my breakfast, other tweeps sat across from me. While I absolutely loved the guy in my immediate view, his companion was a contributor to my Twitter distress. Awkward! The public squirming through these moments is always difficult, but as she chose to not turn around while I talked to the always lovely @sebsharp, living up to her promise to live as if I never existed, public squirming was avoided.
Using the free wifi to record this post means I can’t tell you how this story ends but, it’s amazing what someone will do for net access! But I can safely say I’m now following another two great people on Twitter!
