I have been on twitter since before the first post hit on this blog more than a year ago. Some might find that twitter is stupid, meaningless and really kind of high schoolish. I totally disagree and for good reason. Having a few hundred followers/friends that understand exactly what it’s like to have diabetes and can relate to much of what I have to deal with on a daily basis is a very powerful thing. This community has been beneficial in so many ways that there may be too many to list. I am grateful for my followers, friends and strangers that add value to the diabetic online community and help us all out.
I first started on twitter with the id (@dsainsights) that was mainly for my data analysis and visualization business and followers. When I started Blogging Diabetes, there wasn’t a good way to manage multiple twitter accounts. So I posted about everything under my original twitter id. Now some tools make it easier to post and read tweets from multiple accounts.
I have started using a twitter id I setup in the beginning, which is @blogdiabetes for the bulk of my tweets and all of those related to diabetes. This gives followers the option of “listening” to my data analysis tweets, diabetes tweets or both. This flexibility can only really be a plus for my followers. Finally, I expect there to be more openness on this new id because I know the audience is narrowly focused. If you don’t know what twitter is, check it out. If you followed me under my @dsainsights id, can you please transition to the new one @blogdiabetes.
Thanks again for your support and listening!
Tony
