| My Twitter Profile @TheGenAboveMe |
[Updated July 30, 2018 to remove a couple of inactive accounts.]
In another couple of weeks, I'll reach my two year mark since joining Twitter. Beginning in June of 2012, I have enjoyed connecting with people from all over the world--primarily people who are interested in aging issues.
Their niches run the gambit from family, fitness, food, fashion, finance, health, technology, travel and more.
I try to maximize the opportunities of Twitter by reading tweets, replying, using hashtags, and following links to blogs. If you are new to Twitter, check out this glossary of terms.
At the very least, I get a big kick out of some of the usernames aka Twitter handles that gently poke fun of the aging process.
These writers are doing their part to control the images used for people as they age. Image creation is one way to fight ageism.
Everyone I follow in Twitter delivers great content. Suggesting them all in one post would be like drinking from a fire hydrant. So making concessions to the limits of the human attention span, I combed through my list of the 2,238 people I follow in order to share this list of handles chosen because they refer to aging and because they make me smile.
Enjoy!

Hi Karen, these are a fun with age and numbers list of twitter people. Since I (mostly) tweet for dating and relationship topics for folks after 40 and 50+, I will have to go follow these people. They sound delightful, certainly displaying they have a fun sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

A great list, and it's nice to know there are many of us Boomers out there in the Twitterverse, and that we're keeping our sense of humour. Of course, we couldn't have go this far without it ...
