A couple of reflections as I inch towards 5k followers... I set out with the intention to not feel so alone in tech. Success! I had no idea what I was getting into. I have gotten opportunities because of Twitter. I try to be purposeful about using my account to help others.

I’ve had the same experience. I’m often asked how I’ve been able to get opportunities and connect with others in tech, and when I mention Twitter, the reaction is usually negative. Sure, there are downsides to any platform, but I’m very grateful for how being here has helped me.

Totally agree! I also pretty much only engage with the tech community and avoid the crap as much as I can

My master's program from a few years ago wants me to come in and talk Twitter for networking to the new cohort next month. I'm with you --it's opened up a lot of opportunities. I've found a helpful community and have received a lot of great advice that has helped my career here.
-
That’s great! Sounds like a good talk too

Curious to hear your thoughts on the process and mental model you used to build that community, do you have more to share?
-
I don’t know, I didn’t think too hard about it most of the time. I got stuck a lot and asked for help, asked for resources, and the community was great at reaching out and providing those.

I love that there is a way to find & build a network via Twitter like this! However I for one feel I am generally just "bad at" Twitter and social media in general. I feel weird just replying to tweets that aren't directed towards me because I feel like I'm butting in (even now)
-
Yeah it is a super weird thing to get used to. But I know a lot of people (including me) send a tweet to get a conversation going. And I love when I can engage with new people that I haven’t seen around the twitterverse before
