Committing Suicide in Twitter : A New Beginning

Committing Suicide in Twitter : A New Beginning

• After a lot of deliberation last year I decided to open a Twitter Account and keep it open.
• At first I thought Twitter is time waste and 140 characters makes fun of you.
• I mean you can write a lot in a blog post but only 140 characters in a Tweet.
• What joke is this?
• Then I realised that in this day and age, it makes sense to use Twitter.
• We are in paucity of time.
• We may not have the time and the inclination to sit in front of the computer and make a huge blog post.
• But it is possible to display your state of mind in Tweet.
• Also I found that last year there was a huge struggle in United States between Hillary and Trump.
• I sincerely did not want Hillary to win as I though she was responsible for the carnage in the Middle East and North Africa in the craze of so called "Arab Spring".
• I believed in Trump and still I believe that the "misdeeds" of Hillary and Obama were exposed by Trump.
• The version of "exporting democracy" became a catastrophe for the region.
• Trump won and I decided never to leave Twitter again.
• Then I opened Facebook so that my profile will be accessible everywhere and I will make few friends.
• Then demonetisation happened and I was against the same and I had linked Twitter feed with Facebook and everything I was writing into Twitter was appearing in Facebook.
• Also I saw a few scary faces from my old company kind of the faces I did not want to see again, and so I deleted Facebook.
• After deleting Facebook I removed many Tweets which had gone into Facebook but kept the Twitter account.
• Then I used "Lists" where you did not follow any people but added them to a list and you can see what they were Tweeting about.
• I tried working without lists then the people I followed turned to 2000-3000 and it was scary.
• So I reorganized the accounts to lists and followed just 32.
• Slowly the number of tweets from me numbered more than 1300. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Today what happened I do not know but I decided to begin Twitter with a clean slate.
• It is not like I had not done it before. 
• In 2011 I was posting in Twitter about the last movie watched and then after a few months I deleted all the Tweets and began afresh. 
• Same thing I did in 2012 after which I had deleted the account completely.
• What happened I was posting Whats App Status on Twitter.
• Recently one my Whats App Status was Despacito song.
• So Twitter removed the video and send me a warning mail.
• I had several statuses of Indian songs as well.
• But I doubt if I would have recived any warning for those Indian songs.
• So decided to remove all the songs with videos of songs as Whats App Statuses.
• But then thought why not I delete all the Tweets.
• So to begin on a clean slate, I deleted the Tweets.
• There were mainly three kind of Tweets, Normal Tweets, Tweet Replies and Media Tweets.
• In case you post a photo or video it is a media Tweet.
• In case you reply to someone it is reply Tweet.
• You write an original tweet it is a regular tweet.
• I deleted all, first the media, then the Tweets and replies.
• Normally earlier I used to copy the Tweets on Notepad and post to blogspot but today the number being so high 1300 plus, I did not thing it was feasible.
• Directly deleted the Tweets and then I proceeded to reopen another Twitter Account using another email.
• Swapped the username and so I retained my original username.
• Then proceeded to permanently delete the "regular Twitter Account".
• Now it will be permanently deleted in 30 days after which I can change the Email ID also.
• Thus I get a New twitter Account with Same user ID immediately and same Email ID after 1 month.
• It is like committing suicide but it is not the end.
• In real life if you committ suicide it is the end.
• In twitter committing suicide is a new beginning.
• Twitter in that sense is better than Facebook and Linkedin.
• If you do the same thing on Facebook or Linkedin it is highly unlikely that you will get the same number of friends back.
• It will be tedious process to add them all back in Facebook and Linkedin but certainly not so not in Twitter.
