Finally found a use for Twitter

Okay, so I know most of you are aware of or use Twitter on a regular basis. For me, I begrudgingly got on board the train more for the sake of not being left behind. I did try very hard to make good use of it, to somehow bring it into my life in a meaningful way, but I just fell flat mostly. I used it, I understood it, and there were some things I liked and disliked about it. Basically, I could take it or leave it. I mostly used it to keep up on accounts that post cute pictures of kitties.
Now, however, I've found a use for it that is actually relevant to my life. Those who follow me there have probably noticed. A few weeks ago, I tweeted a link at someone. I had posted a picture to Flickr of a fursuiter that I also happened to follow on Twitter, so I went ahead and tweeted the link to him. But by golly, Twitter is in cahoots with Flickr in some fashion. Because Flickr links take up barely any "character" count, plus, Twitter treats Flickr links as if they were Twitter pics! So I ended up not just posting a link, but the actual image was right there IN Twitter, instead of just a link you'd have to enable through a browser to use. Now see, THIS is what I'm talking about! I can make use of this now.
And you've probably noticed I've been making more use of it as time goes by. I'm not sure precisely how I want to use this in the end. Right now, if I recognize someone on Twitter that I happen to have a photo of, I find one photo of them in my Flickr, and tweet that photo at them. One person, one photo, seems like a good system to me. But, I take pictures of a lot of fursuits. If lots of fursuit pics in my Twitter stream is a good or a bad thing, I guess we'll find out.

I couldn't get the hang of it, it confused me and my ex-wife found me and started stalking and terrorizing me again and causing all kinds of drama. That was it for me (deleted).
If you've found a way for Twitter to work in a positive way, to better your life, I wish you all the best. As for me, I'm done with Twitter... And Facebook... And everything lmao!
