I’m sure you all know by now that Twitter have been giving access to users of all their tweets from day 1. Well this Saturday I got mine.
It’s pretty interesting reading to be fair. Some things I remember saying, some I have no recollection of. What is interesting for me is the topics I tweet on, the mood of the tweets and the people I was tweeting.
Over the past 4 years and 37,000 tweets, I’ve gone from working full time to being freelance to working full time again. I’ve also gone from being a husband owning a 4 bedroomed bastard house to a single father living in a 1 bed flat. It really has been a roller coaster.
I feel kinda sad that I don’t talk to some of the people I used to. What was clear was how unhappy I was working where I did at the time of joining. Some of the things I said…ha. Terrible. But the main thing I took from looking back was community, friendship and that is a big plus in a mad mad world.
Here’s a few anyway
My first night on twitter
My last day in the office before a weeks holiday
…and then a panic tweet when I realised it would be my last day
Of course it’s not all sentimental stuff, how could I not forget this train ride home
And finally one of my favourite tweets. Purely sentimental
