I'm constantly impressed by some of the pithy, droll and sarcastic bios people write for their Twitter profiles. I thought it was worth sharing a few of my favourites:
@keithpitt: web developer (Ruby on Rails), geek, gamer and robot from the year 2143
@TheBloggess: I have friends in spite of myself.
@Cathie_Tranent: I am a wife I am a mother I work I blog I photograph I design tshirts I'm tired
@Wang_Wang (panda) : Black and white bear. Omnivore. Likes travel, eating bamboo and origami. I'm endangered, but I party like a rock star.
@bludgingwriter: Trying to finish writing a book while the TV brings up the three kids
Unfortunately, we don't always notice these bios, as we visit Twitter.com less, instead using tweet tools such as Hootsuite. These tend to disconnect you from the bios, background images and other individual touches that people use to represent themselves. It's worth checking in to Twitter.com now and then to take a good look at your tweet pals.
i love checking out people's profiles and especially their blogs, it always amazes me how many talented people there are in adelaide, just wish services like twitter and facebook existed when i was younger!
Twice you've mentioned me now. Nice.
Thought I'd give you my full bio copy, since Twitter only allows for an abridged version:
"Born at a very young age I realised almost immediately that I knew very little and so set about accumulating knowledge with a passion rarely seen in the post-war era."
