I am a social animal and that my friend is an understatement. I love to talk,\u00a0hang out, and be social. Though, I am a tech geek (full stack web dev<\/a>) \u2014 point being I am not an introvert<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I have been using Facebook for I think even before I found WordPress. That was a decade ago. And before that, there was MySpace \u2014 not forgetting about Orkut. Dude, I know what you’re thinking. Hold that thought.<\/p>\n

Well, I registered on Twitter about seven years ago and for about three years, didn’t quite get what was it all about. I was tweeting here and there, whereas a lot of my tweets were on auto-pilot (note to self: bad move<\/em>…).<\/p>\n

Thought Leader#<\/a><\/h2>\n

It was only in 2013 that I read about how you should bring value to the Twitter\u00a0to engage your audience \u2014 instead of sharing links. I thought, meh… it never works. Though\u00a0I started to\u00a0add more organic content and auto-pilot was almost disabled.\u00a0Anyway, I did give it a try.<\/p>\n

Two years later, Twitter is the best place for me to hang out. Two more years later, Twitter no recognizes me as a verified account.<\/p>\n

I have made so many awesome friends here, throughout the WordPress\u00a0and DevOps communities, and what not. I have found help, shared rants, hundreds of ugly gifs, and workflow hot tips.<\/p>\n

I am not moving on from this platform anytime soon. I enjoy my stay there. I even find it to be very productive. You’ll be amazed by the power Twitter has over social platforms when it comes to building a better relationship with your audience.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

I am glad to publish that my profile at Twitter @MrAhmadAwais<\/a>\u00a0is that of a verified user. It’s thought leader-ish profile filled with public (web devs) interest. That sounds pretty cheesy, def came out wrong<\/i>.<\/p>\n

But, really let’s hang out. You might learn a few new things every week via \ud83d\udd25 Hot-tips, I share :)<\/p>\n
