Ten ways Twitter changed me in ten years, by @HelReynolds
It is my honour to share this excellent guest post from Helen Reynolds (aka @HelReynolds on Twitter), marking the occasion of her tenth Twitterversary by looking at ten ways Twitter has changed her in ten years.
Moment
Every day of your life (no matter how unexceptional) contains perfect moments (no matter how fleeting). My friend Nicholas Creswell tweeted something wonderful to me the other week: “I do find my most treasured and vivid memories […]
Monty Python’s Da Vinci Code (avec rabbits)?
Gentle reader, a word of warning: This post concerns rabbits. It covers John Cleese’s views on rabbits (a conspiracy that goes deep?) and the magic of Twitter, concluding with some uplifting news for rabbitkind. Money, it has long been alleged, is the root of all evil. But could it be that the root of all […]

What can social media give you? What can social media help you to give to others? What’s the best thing social media has done for you lately? Care to share? Social media offers and enables so much. At its best, social media can enable people to come together and give of their best in a […]
Twitterversary time: The seven year Twitch?
When’s your Twitterversary? If you tweet, what has your time a-tweeting meant to you? Is it a love thing? And is it possible to tire of the conversation that never sleeps? The seven year itch describes a moment seven years into long-term relationships when cracks start to appear. In terms of my Twitter life, what […]
Tall tweets: What is Twitter’s ‘thing’?
Twitter offers connection across all boundaries and beauty in brevity. So will the rumoured extension of tweet lengths spoil Twitter’s ‘thing’? And just what is Twitter’s ‘thing’ anyway? Are you ready for the era of the tall tweet? Coming this year, the rumoured increase in tweet lengths from 140 characters to perhaps as many as […]
