Follow Me

Follow Me @MentionUsername! Tweet Me! RT Please! Retweet this! Favorite.

Those are common tweets  by people on the micro blogging, social networking site called Twitter. People on the internet, called netizens, are creating their accounts on Twitter. Twitter users are called Tweeps.

One fact on Twitter, when you create an account, you are an egg. Twitter is a Bird. We are all eggs from the same bird when we create Twitter accounts. We are hatched when we create our own profile and put our own photos.

Twitter accounts multiplied so fast! Netizens created their accounts to follow people and artists, to interact with them. Some made themselves popular through Twitter. Some artists are followed by millions. Some represent TV shows. Some just tweet information and facts of life. Some shares quotations via Twitter. But, who/what should we follow?

In real life, we should be following people who has good influences and reputations. Those people who can direct our ways to be good too. Who/what we follow can represent who we are. Good people follow the good people. Otherwise.

Also, in reality, celebrities and high-profile people have their supporters or fans. These celebrities might not be celebrities without these supporters. That's how important supporters are. But, there are these celebrities who are snob, just because they are high-profile, they tend to snob fans. But, supporters will celebrities very much when these celebrities are very close to the fans. And, celebrities who are close to fans are more likely to have solid supporters, they won't choose you for being famous but fans will choose you for bein'sg kind and friendly. Dear celebrities, FANS are Powerful in your business.

Same things can happen on virtual world, particularly on Twitter.

On Twitter, we follow people. We also follow brands, shows, and other informative accounts. Following on Twitter is just the same with following people in reality. There are celebrities and supporters.

I have my twitter account. I also tweet celebrities to follow me, or tweet me, or anything. But, my purpose is to know who among them should I support. I love those people on twitter who knows they are celebs but they interact with their fans, like a friend. I support those people.

One of the celebs I follow is Ms. Kylie Padilla ( @kakaii1993 ). She is very kind, she follows random people on Twitter, she interacts with different people. She is so simple, so kind, and so nice. I tweeted her "@kakaii1993 Please follow me :)" just once, and she did follow me. I may be lucky to be noticed, I am more lucky to be followed. I am now a solid fan of her. There are times I tweet her, and I sometimes get a reply. When I look at her tweets, I can see her tweets with her fans. Oh, this lady is very kind. She gives time to her fans. She appreciates her fans. Of all the celebs I follow, she is the most I love to follow. She is a must-follow celebrity for me. :)

I also follow this random person, he is Marcelo Santos III ( @akoposimarcelo ). He is a very humble guy, a typical normal person followed by many tweeps on Twitter. He is very close to his followers, his tweets are closely related to his followers, because he was just a normal guy turned kind-of-celebrity through his writings on YouTube. He became popular with his writings, he was shown on TV, and known in the internet. But, I think he earned many followers not just because of his writings, but because he is very kind to his supporters. He and his followers are like Barkada (Group of friends) on Twitter. Recently, he published his own book, and a lot of his followers bought the book, the demand is so high. See, when you really are close to your followers, though you're just a normal person, followers will support you.

I followed this couple on Twitter, they are called JAMICH ( @ilovejamich ). They are couple whose hobby is to do cute, awesome, inspirational, God-inspired videos. They are very influential, their videos carry essential lessons in life. They also bring entertainment to people. As of now, they're true story video, By Chance, was the most watched video in the Philippines via YouTube. They also treat their followers like friends. They are humble, good model for couples of this generation. They already achieved a lot in life, yet they still remain humble and continue inspiring people through their videos and tweets. I remember then, I was their 45000th follower, but now they already have around 475000 followers. I follow them because of their good influences to people.

Recently I followed Jack Vidgen ( @JackVidgen ). He is an Australian singer, he won the 5th season of Australia's Got Talent. He is popular in his country, in the whole Australia. What I like about him is, he follows and tweets his fans, not just Australians but also Filipinos and other nationalities. Last October 26, it was the 18th Birthday of my Filipino friend, she asked Jack to greet her through a video in YouTube. Jack made the video, exactly on the birthday of my friend. Isn't it awesome? He is very kind to his followers and supporters. I followed him on Twitter not because I want to, but because he is a must-follow celeb on Twitter.

I followed a Pinoy Pride on Twitter, she is Sandara Park ( @krungy21 ). She is popularly known as Dara in her Korean Pop Group, 2NE1. Her career started when she joined Star Circle Quest and became part of the star search. She became an actress and joined a number of Filipino movies. She's known being a Krung-Krung in the show business. Her career boomed when she became a Korean singer in 2NE1. I consider her a Pinoy Pride, because she is popular being a Korean star, she is still very happy and proud to be in the Philippines. Just recently, Sandara Park went to Philippines by surprise. She went here to join the Filipinos to watch a KPop Band, Big Bang Alive Tour in the Philippines. Sandara Park even toured in the Philippines. When she left the Philippines and go back to work in Korea, she tweets that she will miss the Philippines. She tweets, she will come back in the Manila, she will miss the Filipinos, she wants 2NE1 be invited for a concert in the Philippines. I follow Sandara Park, she loves the Philippines as well as I am.

I follow also @michaelbitoyGMA, @MyJaps, @whianwamos, @tanyamarkova, @SamPinto_, @vicegandako, @annli and other local artists. I also follow @taylorswift13, @ddlovato, @onedirection, @itsmidnightred, @carlyraejepsen and some other international artists. I also follow @UberFacts, @iTweetFacts, @FUN, @FactHive for sharing facts that are not usually known by people. I also follow @Pinoy_Quotes, @lovequotes, @Godstagram, for quotations. I also follow @gmanews, @youscoopGMA, @philredcross for public service.

I want to acknowledge all my friends! I follow my friends who are active on Twitter. Tweet Me Guys :))

The accounts I follow show who I am. They are all accounts of good people and good deeds, because I know I am a good man.

Be glad when people follow you on who you are. It is just common when people are followed for being famous, but when you are followed on who you are, it's a different thing.

Thank you guys. Follow me: @Zhabby :)
