So I'm on twitter, and I use it primarily as a math teacher to talk to other educators. Most of my friends aren't on it (to my knowledge). And I generally avoid controversial topics because, you know, liberals, teachers. I don't need the blowback.
I do, however, follow a handful of conservatives, most of whom I chose because they show up on twitchy.com.
Out of the blue yesterday, I get a notification of a new follower: Michelle Malkin is following me. I just stared at the screen.
Oddly enough, I don't follow her, so it wasn't a reciprocity thing. And the five people I follow who follow her dont' follow me.
The only thing I can figure is that she saw a link to my blog on another blog post about Jeopardy and Common Core Math during their recent kids week. I checked. I haven't made it onto twitchy yet -- but now I have a goal!
Very cool for you!
Jimmy Swaggart followed me for a while. LOL! Have no idea why. He hasn’t hit on me yet, either. ;) He’s gone now. Guess he didn’t care for my conservative rants on twitter. :)
