I have posted my latest batch of tweets from Twitter for the last six months below. I have tweeted about once every other day: 180 days / 100 tweets. This 100 includes "Retweets" which are tweets by other people that I thought were worth passing along. I have been doing most of my “blogging” on Twitter the last couple of years. I basically try to share quality insights so I think the tweets may have some enduring value but I also post them here for myself because saving my tweets on the blog helps me to access them easily through search–Google searches the blog but not Twitter.
So, here are my tweets from June 2, 2011 when I last pasted my tweets into my blog and today November 16, 2011.
Warm greetings to any readers.
