Random follow #247 - @n8tvaffairs

Every week on @maoritv there is one show that totally sets twitter in New Zealand alight.  Its like perfect clockwork.  @n8tvaffairs starts and twitter goes wild.  This show is how New Zealand keeps it real when it comes to current events and discussing the topics of the day that affect real people in real communities right across the country.

The stunningly gorgeous lady who sits behind the @n8tvaffairs account is Annabelle.  Its her skill, wisdom, tenacity and ability to work across both political and societal spectrums that has allowed the show to both become a success and to stay one as well.  Annabelle is the producer for the show which often means she does a lot of the thinking and co-ordinating of the show without always being seen in the spotlight or on camera.

Want to know why and how Annabelle tweets?  Fearlessly would be one description.  She is certainly not afraid to out her opinion out into the public domain.  And if that means having a good robust discussion with a few people then bring it on.  Don't think she is all about the arguing.  At heart Annabelle is all about whanau and family.  Protecting their rights and ensuring their quality of life is the best it possibly can be.

The @n8tvaffairs twitter account is a really busy one.  In a good way of course.  There's a really nice mix of the personal and the professional that keeps it fresh, active and keeps you coming back for more.

So as far as personal tweets here's what you'll get - 

"Hi Friday you little spunk! Now where are my PJs at? :)"

And the professional - 

"From behind the bars to the big league.. On #NativeAffairs the remarkable story of Suaia Matagi #KeepTheFaith #Warriors #LetsGoneWarriors"

The poignant - 

"makes me feel ashamed. What a joke. Marriage equality is meaningless
if this is how we treat our takatapui community."

If you look through the @n8tvaffairs timeline you will actually find a whole bunch of Random Kiwi Tweeters who have been profiled this year too.  Take a look and see how many you recognise.  There are many good folk on the list who Annabelle interacts with week after week.

In years past to be an advocate for the people meant banners, signs, sit ins and other forms of protest.  In a modern world where media rules then it is through that medium that change can be both forced and coerced.  @n8tvaffairs is that advocate for fairness and change.  Long may it continue to grace out television screens week after week creating and encouraging the debate this country so badly needs.

If there was one whakatauki that could sum up what @n8tvaffairs is about, it's this -

Random follows #213 and #214 - @smithxml and @RyanJLSmith

"Two is always better than one" so the saying goes.  Well with todays two follows - two definitely IS better than one.  This brother and sister duo bring a whole new meaning to sibling rivalry.  Especially on twitter.  They are quite happy to wind each other up and make sure that the other one isn't getting too big for their boots.

These two are totally chalk and cheese.  So one would like to think.  But I reckon (and I know I am going to get grief for this) I actually think they are more similar than they are different.  And it is exactly that point that makes them fight and, dare I say it, squabble!  LOL.

But to know them and follow them as tweeters they must be taken as individuals for even though they are similar in so many ways they are equally just as different from each other too.

@smithxml is one of the most straight shooting ladies on twitter today.  She doesn't give away too much away about herself personally (which is a good thing) but if you have a sneaky glance through her photo's this girl has a body to DIE FOR!  Its not easy to keep yourself looking good but, boy oh boy, if anyone can make the reason to exercise look good it is definitely

She also comes with a very honest sense of humour.  The use of colourful language is a norm but that is just another reason to like her.  She doesn't muck around talking bollocks but she tweets straight.  And just cos she talks and tweets straight doesn't mean she isn't a lady.  Cos she totally is.  She has very fine taste in all things feminine AND she can sing too!  Seriously - this woman has it ALL!

Don't think she is silly though.  Hell no!  Far from it.  @smithxml is exceptionally savvy, intelligent and has a radar that can sense when someone is telling her bullshit from miles away.  Except she lives in Australia....

And then there's @RyanJLSmith.  The newest member of twitter that I follow this guy has figured out social media and what it takes to be a great tweeter in almost no time at all.  Having chalked up his first century of tweets, started following 60 or so tweeters and 40 following back (all within his first week) he is well on his way to twitter infamy.

He is also in Australia but we won't hold that against him.  Much.  So I really don't know much about Ryan except for what I have seen appear in this tweets this week.  So its probably best if we have a look at a few of those.

"Sent mate a tweet asking "how big is your block mate" and autocorrect changed BLOCK to DICK!Thank God I realised before sending!!"

"150 Boy Scouts camping on our farm for the weekend.8 paddocks to the north 150 Girl Guides are also camping on our property. Both unaware!"

"Shot up to 40 followers.Look at me go. #rockstar"

So in short these two tweeters are ready to tweet.  They don't take any bollocks but at the same time are incredibly loyal people.  They have their feet on the ground and will happily "chew the cud" with any decent person who can hold down a decent conversation.  Random follows #213 and #214 are well worth the follow.  I recommend them (so they must be all right.  For people in Aussie).

Random follow #208 - @hurley_kate

When it comes to random tweeters who need some coverage and spotlight then todays person has it all.
@hurley_kate is pretty much a new kid on the block as far as twitter goes.  With a good number of follows and a humble number of followers this undiscovered gem is definitely a good one!

Kate lives in Wellington and with that come the tweets that are Welly-centric.  I personally don't have any issue with those one's 'cos its my most fave city in New Zealand.  And at the moment living in the capital isn't easy '"Ugh, I can't tell if those are earthquakes or just the heffalump upstairs! The ground is moving #OnEdge"

More than the #eqnz tweets are a series of interesting views into the mind and workings of a very attractive lady who has an amazingly stunning appearance.  She also has a keen sense of what works and what doesn't as far as appearance for others - "It should be illegal to paint a house purple #adelaideroad #berhampore ewwww!"

She is super personable and LOVE's to have a good time - "Rocking out #tinaturner down the road! Invite me to your party #whatslovegottodowithit #lovethyneighbour haha"

And on the flip side she also knows the rules of politeness and courtesy - "Public toilets with no lids...had to flush the toilet really fast and make a run for it #eww #JustSaying...!"

If you scroll through Kate's timeline there are two things that are immediately obvious -

1. She has a healthy rate of tweeting.  As and when time allows.  
2. She has a high rate of interaction with others.  Because - thats what twitter is right for?

So if I were to have an allocation of 10 descriptive words and I had to make a sentence to best describe Kate, what would they be?

--> Kate is a fun, attractive, honest, genuine, conversational and intelligent woman <-- (Okay thats 11 but hey - they are ALL true!)

And if I could find just one tweet that encapsulates both the person and the twitter personality that is @hurley_kate then it would be this tweet - 

"Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile, 

laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live - Rachel Ann Nunes #loveit"

Random follow #196 - @GilbertCocru

Gillian is the looks, brains and personality behind some of the most amazing twitter accounts that are coming at you out of New Zealand.  Not just one or two but three twitter accounts.  Each with its own unique personality, attributes and special essence.

It takes a lot of energy, love and dedication to be able to do social media right.  It takes even more of those ingredients to tweet about a product or service to people.  But @GilbertCocru has the gift.  Doing twitter right isn't about gimmicks, tricks or games.  It is about authenticity, being honest, being yourself and engaging with those who you follow and them that follow you.

For examples of twitter accounts that do just that you should check out - @LeEsscience and @TINKture.  I have seen and smelt these products and have first hand accounts that they are out of this world good.  One account is all about essential oils and the other is a product to help aid an active recovery product for those with fresh ink work.

Even so @GilbertCocru is more than her products and brands.  She is a beautiful woman with a fantastic husband and loads of style and grace to boot.  Her friends all absolutely rave about her with total respect, adoration and love.

So whats there to like and add to your timeline?  Well for a start with over 55,000 tweets from her own account she is well on her way towards clocking twitter.

She also has a very funny sense of humour - "My Hubs is my hero, he just doesn’t wear his undies on top of his jeans #mysuperman"

Gillian also can be a little late to the game from time to time "Last night I finally experienced Churro’s - OMG!!!! DELISH! But defo an very now and then thing! o_O" but she NEVER has a bad thing to say about anyone.  In fact she is so lovely I can't think of a time I have ever seen anything not wholesome get tweeted by her.

She is a woman on a mission "Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired!! Burned 628 calories just massaging today! No wonder I get tired!!! #justfoundout #plusiworkedout" and from all accounts it is totally working as she looks even more fab every day.

If I was given a choice of 10 and only 10 tweeters that I could follow - @GilbertCocru would be on that list.  Why?  Because she tweets EVERYONE!  You can follow Gillians timeline and see a comprehensive who's who of all the coolest tweeters in the land.  She is conversational, funny, uplifting, encouraging and expresses a natural warmth out to the world that only someone who is true to themselves can do.

For a random kiwi tweeter  @GilbertCocru is a living legend.  She is totally worth a twitter follow and from all accounts definitely worth meeting in real life.  Go for it - you'll love her too.  Xx.

Random follow #194 - @Chandy229

One of the beautiful people of twitter, both literally and in a tweet sense, is the very lovely @Chandy229.  She hails from the deep south and brings with her a husband of many years and a wee swag of teenagers as well.  Chanelle is a really lovely person who always has a listening ear for her twitter friends which she combines with pearls of wisdom for all.

She has quite a few strings on her bow which enable her to both shoot straight but also to keep on track given the many people and places that she goes and interacts with.  I actually think that @Chandy229 would make a fabulous Bond girl.  She has it all - the looks, the glamour and a certain amount of mystery and evasiveness that keeps you on your toes and wondering.

So why do I recommend her?  Because Chanelle is a down to earth, honest and reliable person.  Being a mum she has a wider perspective of the world and she brings a different approach to social media.  Her tweets have a real down home feel and more often than not are actually quite sensible.

But even with her mature approach she is still able to change it up every now and then -

"Watching #TheVoiceAu dam Ricky Martin is as hot as when he was a poster on my teen age bedroom wall! In his boy band #Menudo"

And prolific would be another good way to describe her tweets too.  No more than your average engaged twitter user but more than your novices it would be fair to say.  But in sating that Chanelle is one of the hardest working ladies I know.  She has a farm and family business that keeps her on her toes -

"A massage would be fabulous right about now!! Lifting buckets of milk have not been kind #outapractice"

And then onto her other place of business -

"Legs are killing me!! (Mine not actual random legs)"

 

(No these are not her legs - but they are a very good replica of them)

If you want someone to follow who is open, honest, genuine, fun and an allround super tweeter - then Chanelle is your lady.  Absolutely, totally your lady.  And to close I would just like to say that having @Chandy229 as a twitter friend has been one of my best choices ever.  I truly look forward to hearing from her and knowing that her friendship is only ever a tweet away.  And she is totally on my list of MUST MEET tweeters from New Zealand.

Random follow #182 - @WardrobeFlair

Taking a risk and pursuing your dreams and passions is something that not everyone has the ability or the courage to do.  Some people stop at the point of comfort and enjoy their day to day employment.  Other people see an opportunity to do something they love, something that inspires them and makes them whistle and sing as they think about the tasks that lay ahead of them for the day.


@WardrobeFlair is a very attractive, bright, beautiful and bubbly lady whose job allows her to work in an area of complete passion for herself while also helping others to better themselves.  One garment at a time.  And the twitter name really does say it all - try adding some flair to your wardrobe.

A few years ago when I first joined twitter there was a lot of conversation about 'your brand'.  Making sure that you projected yourself as a brand and that professionalism always shone through etc.  And most of those points are true.  But social media is about more than a sales strategy via tweets.

And @WardrobeFlair proves that you can have both a professional brand while also engage with real people in the real world with real tweets and stories.  And she totally does it with style! (of course).  

Lets have a brief look at how she accomplishes this through her tweets -->

"Always have 1 dress that makes you feel a million bucks in yr wardrobe"  Pure wisdom.

"Random thought 378 - I need some rugby players on my LinkedIn to counterbalance the mix of media, fashion, CEOs and Defence Staff! #eclectic"  Pure work.

Of course having a job like styling people and helping them to spice up their wardrobe cant occur in a place with no shops or style.  And in all of New Zealand there is one city that (in my mind) absolutely rocks it out when it comes to shopping.  

"Took the out-of-towners round Wgtn today. Brilliant. Makes me remember why I love this little city. #IloveWelly"  Pure Wellington.

She is also a mum and a partner to a very, very lucky man. And alongside her home life she has HEAPS of friends who love and support her.  Both virtually and in real life as well.  So if you're in Wellington, are a legitimate tweeter and person and would like to meet one of the absolute superstars of lovely 

@WardrobeFlair is a lady in high demand.  Both on twitter where she spends so much time interacting and conversing with others and also in her day to day business practice.  And in reality there is very little difference in what she is able to achieve between the two.  In both she assists and encourages people to add some spice, change up their views and see themselves in a different way.  

Random follow #166 - @radiomum

Media people aren't all that much different than you and I.  They have lives, often work six or seven days a week and have to pay the bills as well.  Today's tweeter is not just a media person but a mum raising 3 kids at the same time.  Sure being involved in the media has its perks such as movie premieres, gala events and the like.  But the other side of the equation are the days of getting up at 4am or working lat into the night when everyone else has gone home already.

@radiomum is a radio host, tv person and the voice of a number of adverts as well.  And she is also the sexy voice behind your morning traffic report.  Because lets be honest - there isn't much more sexier than hearing that traffic heading into the city is backed up to Market Road.  Right?

Anyway.  This mum has her hands full with a wide spread of ages of her kids.  From an older teenager through to a little toddler its all go all the time.  But it is these challenges that makes Lorna what she is.  A bright, bubbly and beautiful mum who has the ability to capture the gazes of a room when she enters.

Whats to like about @radiomum?  The real question is - what isn't there to like?  Lorna will tweet pretty much anyone.  She is open to a good conversation, is quick to have a laugh and hardly ever has a bad thing to say about anything or anyone.  Her chirpy tweeting style is really nice and refreshing to read.  

Here are a selection of random tweets to give you a wee taste of whats to come if you choose to follow this very lovely lady - 

"Dog sitting today for a week. Joining Fizzy the Wonderdog, Gigantocat and Pretty Itty Bitty Kitty: Milly the Energiser Toy Poodle #fml"  If those are the pets what are the kids called?

"Miss 4: "After I go to bed, can you and Daddy make a baby? Maybe two babies: a boy and a girl!". Looked confused when I laughed hysterically"  There's no harm in practicing is there?

"Almost eight hours into Dry July and I haven't fallen off the wagon yet. Go me!"  Working in the media is tough.  Almost as tough as education....

So this effervescent, engaging and energetic tweeter is totally worth following.  @radiomum is a really good sort.  What you see is what you get and she'll always give you an honest answer.  I give @radiomum two thumbs up!

Note - one of the rules of the blog is no one famous.  Well to be honest (and this is absolutely no disrespect to Lorna) I don't consider her to be famous as such.  Especially not on twitter.  With just over 900 followers she isn't breaking the record books in the respect.  And this is my blog - so there :-p

Random follow #156 - @Sabenltd

Handbags.  That is what @Sabenltd does.  Beautiful, contemporary, extravagant handbags.  This is one twitter account that is utterly and totally aimed at the ladies among us.  I am not one of those ladies.  So why I am I adding them to the blog?  Because this company is yet another fantastic example of how to do twitter right.

How do they do it right?  Well here's my opinion -

• Personality.  Tweets are fresh, funky and personal.  When @sabenltd tweet you its like talking to a friend over the phone.  Its warm and inviting and easy to do.
  For example - "#HappySaturday and hello sunshine!! It's nice to see you again! Anywhere else in NZ have a bit of sun today? xx"
• Conversation.  The girls like to chat away, have a laugh and interact with those that tweet them.
  For example - "Nooo @robotexplosion not the puddles! They'll get you... when you least expect it, then boom - soggy shoes. Get your feet by a heater asap x"
• Diverse.  The team tweet about more than just their line of products.
  Another example - "This delicious recipe from @HeartBookmarks looks like a treat for a cold winter's night! http://www.heartbookmarks.com/2013/05/lentil-chilli-recipe.html … #ComfortFood"

Are their handbags any good?  I have no idea.  But I am sure @butternessa would like to find out should I happen to purchase one for her.  I have yet to meet or come across a Saben handbag but if I ever do I will be sure to let you know.

This blog is not about advertising anyone's product ('cos I sure as heck don't own ANY handbags) but its about sharing who the neat people on twitter are.  And if an account like @sabenltd are doing it well then I say - lets give them some shine.  Because at the end of the day everyone on twitter is there for a reason.

Whether you are a company or an individual you would do well to follow Saben's example of how to use twitter well. 

(Yes - I know I am not supposed to use this image
but its staying until I get told off :-p)

Random follow #151 - @PaekakarikiNZ

Quite a few New Zealand families have a special place that they like to go to most years for a holiday.  Its a special place that you keep going back to over and over again.  It feels like home away from home.  For some people they travel to the Coromandel.  Other people go to Gisborne or Nelson.  Each year for the past 5 years or so our family has packed up the car and headed south in search of the ideal holiday spot.  And ladies and gentlemen we believe we have found it.

Located approximately 45 minutes drive north of Wellington Paekakariki is a super family friendly place to stay and swim.  In other years we have stayed up at the road a bit at Raumati Beach but this year pushed a little bit further south.  And the extra 10 minutes drive was totally worth it.

Paekakariki is a small, quiet and peaceful seaside town that has its own school, surf club, beach, a pub, post office, tattoo parlor and a real estate agency.  They also have a train station.  This is not something to be scoffed at because Paekakariki has one of the original NZ train stations still maintained and showing all its beauty.  Plus there is a superb camping ground for people on holiday.  It really is quite something.  And guess what???  They have their very own twitter account!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you - The one! The only! @PaekakarikiNZ!!

Yes.  So what does a beautiful little town tweet like?  

"Walk outside and have a look at the moon and stars tonight - amazing! #stars #nightsky #incredible #astronomy" or

"Loving the sound of the rain on the roof tonight #rain #winter "

The @PaekakarikiNZ also shares some beautiful photography and local news stories for upcoming happenings.  This account is someone's hobby so you won't get bombarded with endless tweets.  The tweet rate for this account pretty accurately reflects the town.  Quaint, peaceful, idyllic and all round beautiful with a little touch of quirky.

At the moment this account has 35 followers.  John Campbell (TV3) is one of them.  Plus another couple of more minor celebs like @KendallForbes and @BenJStrang (but they are celebs none the less). So here is your chance to start following a twitter account that is destined for big things!  Big things I tell you!  

Anyway, if you are in Wellington or are passing through Paekakariki heading either North or South stop and say hello.  The locals are really friendly.  And they serve a really good coffee at the cafe too.

Random follow #141 - @Dblo7XX

Some of the best finds of people on twitter this year have been the tweeters who are fairly new to social media.  The people who are still finding their feet, figuring out how it all works and bring a certain freshness to the twitter scene.

@Dblo7XX is another person who  moved to these fine shores some years ago and quite happily calls New Zealand home.  Originally hailing from the very beautiful New Caledonia she is of french descent.  And as we all know (insert stereotype here) all things french are beautiful and romantic.  And I have no doubt that the same is true of her.

And yet another stereotype that exists about the french is that they can cook.  Well if you look through the images and photos that she has shared you can very quickly figure out that @Dblo7XX totally has the bakers touch!  Beautiful pictures of bread, ganache, kale chips and creme brulee.  Seriously?  This lady has it going on!!!

So how do we know that she is becoming a kiwi?  Who she supports in the rugby (LOL) - "Woohoo... Just found out I'll be at Eden Park on Saturday!! Absolutely ecstatic! GO BLACKS!!"

And she brings with her from the other side of the world a fresh perspective on things - "How do I see my world? Above the cloud cover, there is always a pristine, intense blue sky."

"Life is full of little pleasures"

And another thing that I find really enticing and interesting is that she tweets in french too!  I have NO idea what she is saying but it just looks fantastic when she does!  For example - "Bienvenue à mes nouveaux followers francophones. Pardonnez moi si mon français est un peu rouillé".

So what @Dblo7XX is able to do is tweet to so many more people than those of us who uni-lingual. Please spare her a thought as you go about your bust day because this lady is not just a mum but a student as well.  Taking on both of those roles takes some kind of commitment and dedication.

So if you are looking to follow someone on social media who is fresh, brings a bigger perspective of the world while still being able to keep their feet on the ground and can make your mouth water through the simple sharing of a photo of her cooking - then @Dblo7XX is just who you are looking for.

Random follow #139 - @littlemisspie

Learning more about people is an important of life.  The more we can learn from others the better our life experience will be.  One of those people who walk the face of the planet that we can all learn something from is @littlemisspie.

Kate is a very, very, very pretty lady (as per her twitter photo), she is also a little bit fierce (as per her twitter bio) and she is a little bit cool (opinion of the writer).

So whats to like?  Well actually that question needs to be reversed and the real question is - whats not to like about her?

• Kate enjoys the little pleasures in life - "Tucked up with a rooibos, GoT, dog and a roaring fire."

• She ACTUALLY GETS TWITTER!!!!!  - "Sometimes I wish I had somebody who knew nothing about me I could just explode my life into."
  
• Watch out she's a detective too....  "Instagram is so dangerous. One slip of the hand and I've double tapped and they know I've been stalking their year old selfies."
  
• Boys - she's taken - "Decided that if Alex and I ever get divorced I'm getting half his beard. I'm calling it Alejandro."
  
• The incredible romantic - "Fell asleep on Alex's chest last night and dribbled on his shirt. Who needs kids?"

What do I really like about @littlemisspie?  I really like that she takes the time to talk to people.  I really like that she tells you how it is.  I like that she doesn't over share.  I really like that in a few weeks time she is coming to town and I might just get the chance to meet another really cool twitter person.

A couple more things - she LOVES shoes.  And her dog.  Her very cute dog.  And food.  Not just any plain old food.  But nice food.  Anyway enough of that.  

Kate will keep your timeline bubbling along nicely if you choose to follow her.  She tweets a fair bit and when she does it is usually something quite appealing to read.  With 25 thousand and something tweets she is well on her way towards twitter glory.  If there were social media awards then @littlemisspie totally deserves one.  Which category?  I don't know.  But she totally deserves an award.

If you roll the dice, take a punt, go out on a limb and follow her - you won't be disappointed.  Well that's what i reckon anyway.  And I as much as I would like to take the credit I don't think this tweet describes me (but I'll take it anyway - LOL) - 

"Just found out somebody I talk to on twitter is ridiculously good looking. Gosh."

Random follow #111 - @BridgetRailton

Social media really is taking over the world.  And I don't just mean the cities and big places.  But even into the far reaches and small corners of rural New Zealand.  Even to the point where if someone is in a place even as remote as GORE they are able to share their tweets and contribute to the global conversation.  Okay so I am from the North Island and haven't actually been to Southland, NZ so throwing a joke or two at them is easy.  But there are some fantastic people down there.

One of those fantastic people is @BridgetRailton.  She is a journalist for a newspaper that is based out of the heartland in the deep South.  In my experience journalists and people connected to the media are the quickest to pick up on technologies and media that connect people such as twitter.  When people are connected then stories can flow.  And the ultimate purpose of a journalist is to share peoples stories.

Bridget is a down to earth, hard case, salt of the earth type of person.  Her tweets at the moment are quite interesting in that she is discovering and being introduced to some of the rituals and customs that mainly rural New Zealanders tend to take for granted.  Such as -

"Shot my first duck. Right in the head. Going straight to hell"
"Might become vegetarian #duckshooting2013"

Bridget is not a prolific tweeter.  She doesn't spend lots and lots of time keeping the world updated with what she is having for breakfast or any of the usual time filler tweets that we have all become accustomed to over time.  What she does have is a very sharp sense of humor. 

"Birthday. Can no longer sing along to Taylor Swift's "22", switching to Blink 182's what's my age again #nobodylikesitwhenyour23"

Is there a mysterious formula or a secret to success on twitter?  I say there is.  And the magic starts happening on twitter when someone can play with language, twist words and create alternate meanings that make people laugh out loud and think - "heck yes.  That girl is funny!"

"I just tried to FB stalk someone only to discover they're still on Bebo."
"Just got yelled at by a man saying I'm a bad reporter because I'm asking questions. The next question : what do you think reporters do? Dick"

or this one

"Awkward moment when your car is not where you originally parked it because you left the handbrake off and it's gone AWOL"

Just for the record Bridget is a VERY attractive young lady.  Just because she lives in the deep south shouldn't be a barrier to any interested suitors who are in search of a delightful, lovely, willing to have a go, roll up her sleeves and pitch in kind of lady.

There I said it.  Now go and follow her.  On twitter.  Please.
