Twitter

Dear Friend, 

We have exciting news for you...we joined twitter today! The link to our twitter is...drum roll, please.........

twitter.com/dearfriendblog 

If you have a twitter account, be sure to follow us! We'll be giving daily updates on our blog posts and you may even see some daily tweets of wisdom from us. Feel free to tweet us with any questions you have and we'll do our best to answer them. This twitter account will be a form of communication between us and our readers (shout out to Ireland...you guys helped us gain a few hundred page views in the last few days!). We are super excited about this, so we've decided to dedicate this post to twitter.  

Twitter is a fun social networking site that allows people to send and receive 140 character messages known as "tweets." This helps people receive the latest breaking news, stay in touch with friends, celebrities...there is so much to do and so many people to follow! Twitter is sort of like a universal brain- everyone is able to share their thoughts, which are then compiled into one great mind for everyone to see. After some experience with our personal twitter accounts, we've come up with a list of "Do's" and "Don'ts" in the world of twitter. 

Do's

-#hashtags

-follow Taylor Swift :) 

-be witty 

-retweet things you find joy in 

-space out your tweets

-promote yourself or others (but not too often!)

Don'ts

-#toolongofhashtagsthatconfusepeople

-write a novel

-complain about people without using names to gain pity 

-take yourself too seriously

-tweet anything you will regret later

-let it become an obsession 

#followus

Yours truly, 

Kylie and Catherine
