First, I don’t really have a Twitter Follow Policy.  I look at the profile, glance at the latest Tweets, and always follow the URL.  Then I just "guess" on if I would enjoy following someone or not.  I follow some people because they are idiots, and I enjoy their antics.  I enjoy some people for their occupational savvy.  And I enjoy some as friends, or friends of friends.

My "Twitter Follow Policy" is decidedly unfair, I realize.  But if someone follows me, and sends a Tweet to @kr8tr that is something I find interesting, then I almost always follow them back.

As far as my "Twitter Bio".  I have been on Twitter for over 18 months.  I am an early adopter. 

I use Twitter in a number of different ways.  In the morning, I rarely use it at all - but I have it running and minimized.  I respond to messages to me, but I don’t Tweet often.  From noon until 7 PM or so I generally use Twitter for business, or for business related stuff.  Like NewsGang! Live, which isn’t really work, and doesn’t pay anything.  But I enjoy it because I meet a lot of interesting people, MOST of them are very polite, even if I disagree with them on many things - and let them know it.  They respect the fact that I deserve an opinion.  And I respect theirs.  I think what we really try to do on that show is figure out why we think the way we do.  Don’t discount that - that’s a very powerful thing that needs to happen before any type of serious "meeting of the minds" can take place.

Later at night I generally use Twitter for fun.  I am apt to say anything, or even Tweet a blind date in real time.  I love my late night crowd.  Generally they are just like me (and probably you).  They have finished their "work day" and they are still working.  But we all appreciate a bit of humor mixed in. 

I also occasionally send a link to a "Random Post From the Past".  Usually very late in the evening.

I am also very interested in Web API’s - I will be launching a Podcast soon that focuses on API’s.  With a group of my Twitter Friends.  Initially focused on the Twitter API, but extending to other APIs in the future.  This could be a lot of fun, as long as nobody takes me seriously!

And then there is TheStatBot, which is a personal favorite of mine.  I "met" Yuvi almost two years ago.  And for the price of a digital camera I found a friend.  And a developer I respect.  I enjoy working with him.

So please, feel free to follow me.  But don’t expect me to fit in a defined box.  My interests are all over the map, and so are my Tweets.

I hope you join me - and entertain me, enrich me, or just cheer me on.  Whatever you do, get involved.

PS - I am also an Independent Consultant (Full Time), and this is my blog about my life - which sometimes includes my work.  But often not.  Sometimes it is a cop running over my mailbox or a nice drawing my daughter did.
