Timeline Of The Social Internet User
A good friend Ryan wrote a blog call Social Pyramid Schemes in his post he made a great list concerning the timeline of a new Twitter user.
1. Have a friend tell you how cool Twitter is.
2. Have another friend tell you how cool Twitter is.
3. Reluctantly create a Twitter account.
4. Make first tweet/twit whatever you want to call it.
5. Realize this is a waste of time.
6. Have people nag you and tell you you aren’t doing it right.
7. Realize that I should ‘optimize’ my tweets/twits for optimum searchability.
8. Reference someone in a tweet/twit.
9. Get in an argument with a tweeter/twitter(er).
10. Realize you are better then them.
11. Begin your quest to gain followers, in hopes to one day over take your antagonist in ‘followers’.
12. Devise your own ‘get followers quick’ scheme.
13. Market it on Twitter.
Now the real question is do you agree with this list? I’m looking to turn this into a collaborative project to see what everyone thinks the timeline of a new Twitter user. Maybe we can even stretch this out to the timeline of the social internet user?
If you have ideas for new steps in the list please post them in the comments.
