A few weeks ago, as I was looking through my Twitter follows, I was saddened to find that the first famous follower had unfollowed me. I remember being so excited that a comedian I had watched on VH1 had followed me on Twitter, but now was no longer. As the pangs of disappointment began to diminish, I realized that it wasn’t all that bad. I have changed since I first joined Twitter. I am more conscious of sending a tweet thanking people who are new to following me. I do this to show my genuine appreciation. I am now finding that the newer followers I have gathered have followers numbering in the thousands. Also, many of them have a check mark next to their name, signifying they are the person and not a fan page. I don’t take it personally when I am unfollowed. I am reminded of a quote I recently heard by Dr Seuss “Don’t cry because it’s over,smile because it happened.”
