My Twitter Feed


That is a screenshot of what my Twitter feed looks like at this exact second (though I apologize for the small size - bigger sizes don't seem to fit on my blog. It's a decent representation - you've got your Lehigh news, webseries, two "news" sites (one for fan news and one that's fake news), celebrities, and companies that I'm a fan of. I'd say it's a decently accurate representation of my Twitter feed normally.

Of course, that's not everyone I follow on Twitter. In reality, a decent chuck of the people that I follow are people that I (sort of) know in real life - mainly friends that I've met at conferences, and this my way of keeping up to date with them because the only time I ever see them in person is at said conferences. There's also a large amount of Youtubers and online content creators ("online celebrities") from the online community I mentioned in my last blog post. A few Lehigh sources, because it's a good way to see what's going on on campus, a few general news sources just to keep myself up to date (though honestly, if there is some kind of breaking news I'll just check the trending topics for the quickest news link, if I don't just try Google), and organizations/companies that I'm a fan of.

I think that I have a really interesting mix on my Twitter feed, at least for me. Besides following online content creators, I also follow a decent number of young adult authors. This mix is great for me because not only am I fan of these peoples work, but these are also the two fields that I want to go into: young adult writing and social media. (Not necessarily together, but the former cannot be done without the latter anymore anyway.) Twitter helps me keep up with the publishing industry and the social media industry, and I feel like I am a part of the constantly changing Internet. It's the perfect way for me to learn all about what I want to keep doing with the rest of my life.

I'm still constantly changing my Twitter feed - some people (like Dominic Monaghan) tweet entirely way too often for me to care, and there are always new people and organizations to find and follow. I love being a part of this constantly expanding worldview, and Twitter has definitely been an awesome tool for me these last few years.
