Twitter

As a girl who is into plenty of nerdy stuff I have been been active online for many years, but only recently have I felt like part of a growing network of geeky girls. This is partly thanks to twitter, but mostly due to Geek Girls Network™ and it’s enthusiastic (and of course geeky) creator, @geekgirls (Kristin).
I have made female online friends before, but I had never before encountered a platform that was so welcoming and comfortable for girls who are geeks.
It’s too easy for the female minority to get drowned out on mostly male forums, as it can prove hard to be yourself when constantly confronted with either requests to post you boobs or outright abuse.
The other option was girly forums, which are well.. girly. Great if you want to talk about fashion, weddings, babies.. or whatever it is normal chicks talk about… but for those of us with traditionally “boyish” hobbies nothing could be more nightmarish.

The hash tag follow friday started as a way to recommend friends to other people in your Twitter network. Since Twitter is all about value and valuable connections, I highly suggest that you participate in this every week to gain new relevant followers. 
Spammers and bots attempt to infiltrate every space on the World Wide Web and Twitter is no exception. Due to the simplistic design of Twitter, however, spammers are easy to spot and avoid.
