It’s been eight whole weeks since your last installment of my favorite tweets! Since we last saw each other, I’ve been hard at work tweeting, but also working. That’s important too.
I’ll spare you the deluge of my WordCamp Seattle-related tweets and just get on with my favorite small tips, thoughts, and LOLs.
If you still get your MTs confused with your RTs, check out the first fake follow post for the Twitter jargon. All the tweets are ones I sent or “retweeted” to the masses.
Emojis!
Remember how WordPress just added emojis? Well, here’s beautiful example of emojis (plus a little Photoshop) clearly illustrating a couple tweets.
