5-ish reasons you should follow Mrs. Flinger on twitter

I’ve noticed a lot of “Best Tweeple!” going around lately. And I see that there’s a very large oversight in the names that are being tossed about.

Like, for example, while Jennifer James had some great suggestions, she forgot one very important person.

I’ll give you three guesses.

And no, it’s not Alyssa Milano even if her rack puts my rack in the rack of shame.

There are also some sort of “Twitter Awards” or something. Which, you know how well I do at awards. Clearly I sweep ‘em with my 1.9% of the vote and no, I don’t hold on to that for nearly a year, what? Why do you ask?

So while you may not want to follow my always-the-brides-maid-never-the-bride blog and you may not find me nominated for.. well.. anything tweet worthy, I thought I’d give you the top [ten] five, because I don’t have ten, reasons why you really should be following my on twitter.

1. You can learn new words from following Mrs. Flinger: (I impart wisdom)

2. You can find great beers (or wine, or vodka, or rum) to try: (I impart drunkeness)

3. You can find new hashtags for which to filter your tweets with.

4. You can voice your frustrations (GRRR! SMASH!) at various PHP based CMS. And then drink beer. (Again with the beer)

5. You can become a PHP programmer yourself. All, for the love of, beer. (Seriously, me and beer are like *THIS*)

Conclusion:

Frack the voting and the awards. Let’s have a beer. :: CHEERS ::

Next up? I finally summarize my blogHer experience in another numbered list. It also contains beer.

Posted by Mrs. Flinger on 2009-08-23 20:43:44 I must admit that I don't follow you on Twitter. If it makes you feel better, I don't follow anyone on Twitter. I don't Twitter. I just don't get it. I would start getting annoyed with it very easily, I think. Lengthy text message exchanges between myself and people I know bother me (PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL ME! she screamed into the night....) and I will never, ever, ever, care or need to know what John Mayer is doing, ever, let alone receive the play-by-play. However, rant concluded, if I were to Twitter, I would follow each of your tweets, awaiting the next with baited breath.
