Random follow #176 - @RAARTEMANA

The purpose of this blog is to discover the tweeting people who don't make the news headlines or are considered stars of the twittersphere.  Today's person fits both those boxes exactly.  With a total of around 300 tweets to date @RAARTEMANA is very much a new kid on the block.  Couple that statistic with just 7 followers and following 16 people - you get my drift.

Ra is a very elusive tweeter.  Not much is given away about location, lifestyle or any of that stuff.  And to be honest I have no issue with that at all.  Whats good about it is that the tweets are very much what you see is what you get.  And its not a 'no holds barred' kind of account where the purpose is be totally obnoxious but no one knows who you are.

Rather Ra brings a new perspective and a piercing insight into the affairs of the day.  Ra will confront you and challenge your thoughts.  Challenge in a way that makes you reconsider your standpoint and think about just what it is you are actually hold as a value.

So when you read comments like these, what do you think?

"work for 40 years? if no qualifications for pittance, might as well invest 4 years uni cutting it down to 36 years for better results"

"Democracy was created In defense to Communism just to have Capitalism enslaved the people instead?"

"Me & The Pakeha Party believe in the same things, equality, justice, self determination. tell me when has one Law for all been a bad idea?"

So you're going to need to turn your brain on should you choose to hit the follow button.  Ra will challenge you and quite possibly offend you - not in a rude intention sort of way but more to make sure you do actually engage your brain.  In conclusion there are some people who can type up 300 tweets and not many of them wil be as good, profound or challenging as what has been achieved by Ra.

Random follow #164 - @_snozzberry_

@_snozzberry_ is one tweeter who is setting social media on fire.  Like a drag racing car that leaves flames in its tracks - such is this tweeters approach to the twitterverse.  I can totally say that her raucous and hilarious tweets have been setting my timeline alight.  Livi is pretty much completely new to twitter having just broken the 800 tweets mark.  In this case the quality totally outweighs the quantity.

This straight shooter fires off her tweets faster than Chuck Norris can reload a M16.  A couple of days ago she asked the question - "When are you considered a "twitter sensation"? I'm asking because I just got my 50th follower?" - well I say that is Livi keeps going the way she is she will have her very own reality television show in no time at all!

So what is she like as a tweeter.  Well, try wrapping your laughing gear around this lot -

"Off to the ex, ex, ex mother in laws for dinner. "Where the rissoles taste the same as the stew taste the same as the bolognese" #yolo"

No subject matter is untouchable or not funny.  And she keeps going -

"Want to impress your workmates during #maorilanguageweek? Try "Kī tōnu taku waka topaki i te ngeru" (My hovercraft is full of cats)"

And the occasional musical opinion - 

"Ive listened to Lana Del Rays "Young and beautiful" way too much today. Might go home and eat cake with my hands in the shower."

This is a "no bull tweets" zone.  @_snozzberry_ brings seriously funny tweets to life.  These are not second and RT's or content copied from others.  Rather these tweets are delivered from a lady with a sharp intellect and a take no prisoners approach to sharing her views with the world.

Quite possibly the best description or disclaimer for this tweeter is the way she describes herself right here - 

"I hope people can interpret correctly when Im being sarcastic."

This twitter account right here is a rising star.   Follow her early so you can say you knew her before she made it big on TV.  p.s. if you have an irish accent - she will.  That is all.
