I actively search for genealogists and people with Norwegian connections.\u00a0\u00a0My policy is to follow back those who choose to follow me. That is, there are some young girls that occasionally follow me. They seems to be very poor as they can not afford to buy much clothing. I don&#8217;t follow them back. Also there are some that writes in languages that I don&#8217;t command or\u00a0shows pictures that I really don&#8217;t care about. I don&#8217;t follow them either.<\/p>\n<p>Not all my 2300 followers are\u00a0obsessively interested in Norwegian genealogy. Many of them I have connected with through other interests. There are also a considerable number\u00a0of\u00a0business profiles\u00a0who are\u00a0collecting potential customers. I believe I am followed by, and follows back a coffebar\u00a0in\u00a0Houston and a\u00a0pizza joint in Seattle. I will probably never be able to take advantage of the great offers they sends me. I choose to follow these in order to keep them as my followers. As my number of followers rise, so does my &#8220;social authority&#8221;. This brings me further up on the list of results you receive when you search for followers.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately Twitter give us the opportunity to assign the profiles we follow to &#8220;lists&#8221;. I have lists for all my main interests. The one with the most members and that I spend the most time with is the &#8220;Genealogy&#8221; list. If you follow me on Twitter and it is easy to make out that you are a fellow genealogist, I will follow you back\u00a0and you will soon see a message stating that &#8220;@MEidhammer has included you in the Genealogy list&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you find yourself following back profiles that are totally uninteresting to you. If you don&#8217;t want to unfollow and possible loose a follower, \u00a0you can &#8220;mute&#8221; these profiles. This means that you still follow eachother, but you don&#8217;t see their tweets. You also have the option to &#8220;block&#8221; a profile. This breaks the connection between your profiles and the person you blocked will not be able to follow you or see your tweets. \u00a0This is to a certain degree like telling the person to &#8220;go to h&#8230;..&#8221;, so you should put in some consideration before you do this.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3252\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/martinroe.com\/blog\/friday-finds-genealogy-on-twitter\/social-media-936543_640\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"social-media-936543_640\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3252 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?resize=230%2C230&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"social-media-936543_640\" width=\"230\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinroe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/social-media-936543_640.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/>Here is <a href=\"https:\/\/support.twitter.com\/articles\/215585#\">Twitter&#8217;s help section on how to get started<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0website WIRED has an interesting article on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2016\/05\/twitter-onboarding-tips-for-new-users\/\">How to use Twitter: Critical tips for New Users<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%40MEidhammer&amp;src=typd\">This is how\u00a0I appear on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0My handle is @MEidhammer.
