I got a message yesterday from Twitter that it was my Twitter Anniversary on Wednesday. According to the social media platform, I joined Twitter 15 years ago.

Most of the longtime TV news people I see on Twitter joined the platform about 2 years after I did.

As you may know, I am no fan of Facebook and never really have been. I don’t do selfies, so my Instagram is not updated often. TikTok? Uh…no.

Twitter is the only social media that I use on a daily basis. But, in those 15 years, I have only added 76 people to my follow list. So, while I like Twitter better than the rest, I’m still not all that active on the platform.

I always have believed that you should put your time and effort into digital properties that you own and control. I think that TV stations should think the same way.
