Showing the Christmas Spirit on Twitter

Monday, December 27th, 2010

@webgrrrl Christmas Twitter edition Like my Christmas Twitter edition? I have this on my Gravatar and Facebook profiles, too. Yes, I am considering letting the fine whiskers at the corners of my mouth to grow into a beard just like Santa’s.

Changing your profile picture to reflect your holiday spirits is a fun way to show off your personality virtually, and I’m not the only one who agrees with this. Among the people I follow / following me on Twitter, these three people took the time to display their merry sides, so allow me to give a hearty ho-ho Christmas shout-out to:

@cyrildason

And, for taking the time to drop by my barely alive blog, let me wish a blessed and peaceful Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and season’s greetings to you and your loved ones.

@webgrrrl’s got new feature: Twitter Lists

Screen shot of Twitter List notice

Honestly, I have no idea what to do with Twitter Lists as of this moment, but it’s nice to see that the option is made available for me to use once I figure it out. A post in Marketing Pilgrim suggested that it could be treated like a blogroll, i.e. collection of favourite Tweeters based on a theme. The trouble is, as pointed in another of their posts, having such lists will probably attract a bunch of whiners. For example, if you create a list of WordPress Experts and I don’t see my Twitter handle in that list, then doggone it I’m swearing you and your Twitter followers off to Twitter hell! It’s kind of in the same lines as people who whine that I’m not following you anymore coz you don’t follow me even though I’ve followed you and read your boring tweets for days and you still don’t care, nyeh nyeh boo hoo.

Yeah, whiners.

Screen shot of my Twitter List option

I created a list called Blogging Fu, just for the sake of it, although I have a feeling that I might be deleting that one soon. Since Twitter did say that I shouldn’t tweet about it yet, why bother having one?

I wonder if anyone of you reading this blog are seeing this option? Are you planning on using it, and how?
