Twitter Highlights 1.0/2018

This past Holiday Season, I really started to put a lot more energy and effort into Twitter. At this moment, it is my favorite social media platform.



With the amount of potential traffic you can get as a blogger and writer, it can be really beneficial.

I also like having small monthly updates on projects. It helps me focus on what I'm trying to accomplish and what each project offers. For the New Year, I created a goal to acquire organic impressions through Twitter equal to or greater than the population of the town I live in (14,000/14K or more).

Combining these objectives together makes for a new monthly @nti-social post called, Twitter Highlights (high possibility there will be a name change in the future).

Twitter Highlights, will feature the best of what I've tweeted in the past month and I'll tell stories about my thought process, my creative process, and more. I hope you all enjoy.

For January of 2018, I received 15.3K organic impressions. Mission accomplished.

The most impressions came by replying to a tweet by @MrEwanMorrison.



@MrEwanMorrison commonly tweets about works of art and the stories behind them. I found the artwork in this particular tweet to be very striking.

I was interested in the reality of Faust being created from an actual person and the humorous side of the story quickly surfaced. 

I replied, "After reading this tweet, I'm only thinking about how to make money while performing this exact set of professions... This is my life now."

Clearly, you can't make money from the majority of professions J.G. Faust performed, not in this day and age anyway. I mean sure, who doesn't love a good, hard-working sodomite now and then.

I also liked how the list was so concise and matter of fact. J.G. Faust, wandering magician, astrologer, sodomite, and necromancer capable of reproducing Christ's miracles. What a strange business card, I should probably have these made, start carrying them around and hand them out to people randomly. The words, "Available for Parties", just barely legible at the bottom. 

He also dabbled in alchemy. The cause of his death.

This guy must have had a hard life.

Selling your soul to the Devil only to be taken out by science. An Evangelical's best possible scenario.

The tweet has so many layers to it.

I really enjoy webcomics but, there are so many of them. It's overwhelming to actively search for one, read a good assortment of panels, and determine if they're going to be worth your time in a year. I must say, I found one through Twitter. Anomaly Town, if you're looking for a good webcomic to read and laugh at, I recommend it.



Most of my other Twitter highlights consist of politics and I'd like to keep this project as neutral as possible. If you're into politics, check out, "The Leftovers".
