Twitter Friends – Tell Me About Yourself
January 6, 2010
So I was thinking (yes I know, a scary concept LOL). I was thinking that while I do engage with a lot of people on Twitter, there are a lot who follow me, who I never talk to.. so this is where the thinking part comes in.. (Yes, again, scary ;P)
I would love to have people who follow me tell me something about themselves. Whether we have talked a million times or never, I would love to hear one interesting, unique, unusual, or just fun fact about you. So, I am going to post this one Twitter and hope to learn something new about … well … a whole lot of folks.
Have a great day and thanks for playing! 
Smiles!

So, that probably means stuff that you *won’t* find on my Twitter profile or my blog. Hmm; thinks.
OK, here we go with 5 points that I don’t think that any one person (apart from me) knows:
I miss being able to go to Normandy (France) more than I do my birthplace, England.
I can’t throw or catch and have trouble judging the speed of objects. (Possibly why I hate sport.)
Although I don’t tend to watch movies (and would be quite happy in a TV-free world,) I would love to see William Gibson’s “Neuromancer” made into a film by Ridley Scott.
An Open-Source advocate through and through, I do love one Microsoft product: their “Natural” ergonomic keyboard.
I find it very hard to discriminate speech from background noise – including other speech.

Kristine, one of the reasons I’ve stopped growing my Twitter count is that I see those numbers as meaningless without real engagement. I do not automatically follow back people. I do not follow back even those with tens of thousands of followers and those that are obviously harvesting followbacks.
25000 followers and 75 tweets. Is that someone I want to follow? No.
Like you, I am more interested in real connections with people. Glad to be building them with at least 100+ real people (in addition to people I already knew elsewhere) that I would NOT have met except twitter. Another hundred or so I enjoy occasional responses to/from. The rest, at least for now, are just numbers.
As for me, besides being linkedin, my life is at http://imran.com/ImranAnwar . Take a look
