Random follow #251 - @david227181

David is not someone I personally know a lot about.  He is essentially completely brand new to the twitter scene so he starts with a clean slate and an open canvas.  With a total of 58 tweets to his name (as at todays date) he hasn't had time to reveal too much of himself online yet.

Here are a few things about @david227181 that I do know that I find of huge interest. He is a gentleman of a certain age who is not typical tweeter.  "A certain age?" I hear you ask....  yes a certain age.  Don't ask what that age is because that would be being rude.

He profile suggests that he is an active older gentleman who enjoys being outside and keeping himself physically active.  And not only active in a physical sense but also intellectually as his twitter bio tells us -

Jazz, classical music. Reading French and German. Local poetry group.

Social media and being good at it are not defined by age or location.  Success at social media is about your ability to have a keen intellect, an ability to express yourself concisely and precisely and also to be endearing and engaging.  @david227181 manages to tick all these boxes.

But don't just take my word for it.  Have a read of a few of his tweets and find out for yourself - 

"Black rain lashed night. Cold wet cat clambers into bed. Tells me I'm the best thing since the fridge door. Test of true love"

"Breakfast in bed. Bliss. Thunder ~ wet cat scrambles through cat door waiting waiting"

David brings a completely different feel to twitter.  He has a creative mind and an engaging intellect that shows itself through the use of words.  He has an ability to string words together in a way that they dance across the page.  Such as - 

"Fingers slow, brain older but alert. Forging from one chord to the next ~ 
classical guitar, a solitary satisfaction"

David shares his thoughts with twitter (and the wider world) as and when the moment of inspiration strikes.  I would warn you not to sit around waiting for a tweet.  But add @david227181 to a twitter list of some sort.  And then wait.  Because good things come to those that do.

"If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'"
