There are so called “Bench Marks” that we use as landmarks to give us an idea of measuring items, things, or stuff in our lives on where they lay in our individual timeline. Take today for instance. Being part of the United States Air Force (USAF) for a number of years I know that today is the USAF’s 62 birthday. Yesterday, some thirty-two years ago is when I began serving in the US Air Force as a USAF Fire Protection Specialist. That’s sort of a fancy way of saying Fireman or Fire Fighter. : ) It began though, a journey that has shaped me into the person I am today. Hopefully all those who know me, that being my family and friends, view and see me as a good person, though I know there are times I can be a real bonehead. lol So, at these “Bench Marks” along my so called live timeline, I take little peeks back at the path I’ve traveled. Reflecting on but not reliving, and always moving forward because that is the path of travel for each one of us on this Big Blue Marble.
On a smaller, much lighter scale of my “Bench Mark” outlook, I feel it holds true for me with Twitter. It was on June 16th, 2009, a little over a month after I started tweeting on Twitter that I first mentioned my tweet quote of “Tweet on Twitter & Have Fun! : )” and I use it as part of my daily good morning/good night tweets. A so call daily “bench mark” of such if you will. It’s also in my bio too. I came up with this Twitter quote from a version of a quote that I used for a particular online game I use to play for a number of years way back when. It worked for me than as it is working for me now. Ever time I say it, it makes me smile. You could say my Twitter quote brands me as to what type Twitter person I want to be and what you can expect. Though it’s only been a short time since starting on the Twitter, I’ve already see landmarks along my Twitter timeline of moving forward with the followers I’ve come acquainted with and the things I learn from those I follow.
So here it is just over four months since starting my tweeting I find a great Twitter “Bench Mark” that a Twitter nOOb like myself can really appreciates! That so called landmark coming from the good graces of the @FireCritic, who wrote on its blog and compiled a list published this past week entitled…
Top 100+ Fire/EMS Twitter Users – Are you included?
On this list I find, with great surprised, my twitter username @FiremanRich listed as one of the top 100. WOW! To the @FireCritic I say Think You for the work in gathering and compiling this list of very informative Fire/EMS Twitter Users. I’m humbled and it’s a really honor for me to be listed along with some really good Fire/EMS people. They all provide really good Fire Safety cross feeds. Making this list tells me that my Twitter timeline has substance on the tweets I make concerning Fire Protection & Fire Prevention news, information and various Fire Safety topics.
I’m sure this Top 100 Fire/EMS Twitter Users list from @FireCritic will grow and I could find myself, @FiremanRich , either moving up or down the list. Either way, I will continue to maintain a level of tweeting on a subject area that I feel is very important and hopefully provides information that helps someone to be more Fire Safe.
Follow @FireCritic on Twitter and also check out the Fire Critics Blog .
If you are not on Twitter I would suggest and encourage you to sign up for an account to take a test drive. No harm in doing that. What ever your interests are there’s someone tweeting about it. Take in some views from YouTube about Twitter to see what it’s all about, there is a lot of great videos out there. Check out the vast amount of blog articles also on the internet covering Twitter that can give you more understanding. Twitter in my opinion is not just a funny word, and when people joke about it that haven’t tweeted…well…I think their just missing out on something that is a GREAT window of vast information, along with a bunch of great Twitter people to meet as well as follow.
So as I started this blog article I will end with the same….
Tweet on Twitter & Have Fun!
