Today , I woke up to find more than 700 followers on twitter. This is an overnight expansion of about 600 new friends. It is very difficult to keep up with so many people. I was thinking about a way of knowing all those friends. To be honest, It is very difficult to reach out and read every one’s profile. so I sent out a tweet
Today’s Challenge! tweet your life’s story in 140 characters or less! end it with “#MyStory ” Read them http://bit.ly/moaN
I did send this to a few friends and then It spread like a viral. the search page for MyStory on twitter turned into a great tale. There are some really interesting people with even more interesting stories. I hope My Story Page on twitter will soon turn into worlds largest collection of short stories. real people’s real stories.
