Random follow #134 - @kiri_te_karnage

To be good at social media you need to have two things - a diverse set of interests and a great sense of humor.  And if you're using twitter then the need for those two things increases significantly.  Having a really good twitter name helps too.  Well I can tell you that @kiri_te_karnage has both of those things going on.  From the mustache in her profile photo through to her bio Emma pretty much has it nailed.

Social media and digital native, retired roller derby girl, mum and all around cool chick are the best ways to describe her.  Being a mum is no easy job but it is incredibly rewarding.  When a lady chooses to be both a mum and an employee - wow!  That is a real challenge.  Don't worry you won't be inundated with mummy tweets all day long.  Rather you'll be more likely to find reflections on society and about ensuring equality and people are being treated.  Or lovely tweets like this one - "I got slippers for Mother's Day. Feet are COSY!"

Hailing from the mighty capital city of Wellington she pretty muck knows and tweets anyone who is anyone in the twittersphere.  For example - "Hilarious @Miss_Whanau has joined a 'Crockpot 4 lyfe' Google+ group. so Gangsta".

And there is a certain amount of honesty that makes me chuckle 'cos I know its true - "The Bonds underwear as is strangely compelling #feellikeaperve".

So what else can she do?  Write stuff.  Like on her blog (which is very occasional) and political speeches - "Just wrote the awesomest 'vote for me' blurb for my BF for work. He better win."

There isn't too much more I can say about the lovely @kiri_te_karnage apart from that.  She is lovely.  She is a keen tweeter without going overboard.  She contributes to the social conversation in a bubbly and effervescent way that makes you all warm on the inside.

Please follow her.  She is lovely.  Really.
