    Gone viral

    I've been on Twitter for over 10 years. Posted a few tweets in my time that have had a few dozen likes or retweets, nothing special. So I reposted a funny picture I saw on Facebook on Twitter last night, assumed it was old news and that most people would have seen it, got a few likes and retweets, didn't give it much thought.

    When I went to bed it was approaching 100 likes - a record, but still, whatever...

    Woke up this morning and likes and retweets had trebled, I reckon I'll hit 1000 likes and 500 retweets by tonight. My Twitter notification feed is basically useless. I can literally sit here and watch the like counter go up in real time. It's all a bit weird. Considering I nicked the damn thing in the first place, I feel a bit sheepish about it.

      I had to share. I’m quite bemused by the whole thing. Where will this nonsense end?

        are you getting any follows?
        Likes and retweets are worthless. Follows can be sold.

        But hey. The ego is better

          I have a few thousand followers but you’re right, retweets and likes don’t translate to new followers.

                When PC feels a bit sheepish, he just gets on with it.
