Twitter
now shows you your tweet activity. Visible only to you, your tweets
now contain a graph symbol next to the Reply, Retweet and Favourite
icons. This symbol displays how many times your tweet has been read,
and- if appropriate- how many link clicks have been made. I'll find
it handy for Twitter blogging experiments. Most people, suffice to
say, will not be as arsed.
Moving
swiftly on...
In
an attempt to expand social circles and to not stay in, I've been
hammering social media site Meetup.com. It's a place to find groups local to you by inputting your postcode.
Results will appear in proximity order, offering meetups themed
around anything from mainstream ideas like dating, restaurants, art,
music and walking, through to the more niche interests such as
gothic, coding, gay men's cinema and post-apocalyptic books.
Myself, I've joined the groups for bars
and clubs: Manchester Posh Bars and Cool Clubs,
20s and Early 30s in Manchester,
and a few others I've not attended yet. I've met loads of people and
had some decent nights out over the last 6 months due to this site.
It's
a good site that has expanded massively over the last year. Similar
to Facebook, Meetup allows you to set up a profile and join groups
for free, and to leave comments on events and send messages to other
users, but charges £10 a month once you've set up a group. The only
problem I've had with it is that your notifications frequently appear
as unread even when you've read them. Weird.
Find
your people on Meetup.
