“You should totally sign up, it’s a great way to meet people and swap puns.” It was 2008 and a friend was trying to convince mid-twenties me to sign up to a new social media platform called ‘Twitter’ on a night out. I was skeptical. Sure, I’d been hearing a fair bit about it on the London blogging circuit, but — ever-cautious and resistant to bandwagons — I’d decided against jumping on board up until that point. There was something about it that felt a little bit…unknown for my liking.
Eeek yep. The polarity is incredible. I'm in the process of deleting all my tweets but I'm planning on keeping my handle.
