You’re a sick F@&%k Fink
Two weeks ago a friend posted a Tweet that he had 122 iphone application plug-ins. He is a kind of high maintenance tech guy so completely understandable. I commented back “You’re a sick F@#$k Fink”.
Without getting into any arguments regarding language use and etiquette on-line, what did this simple response tell anyone on either his or my Twitter channels about me and our relationship.
Off the top of my head:
- I am a fan of the Coen Brothers (sociographic info)
- I probably studied film in the late 80′s or early 90′s which, if straight from school, pegs my age as about 40 (demographic info)
- I don’t stray away from shock value
- I have a sense of humour
- My relationship with my fellow Tweet is solid enough that I can get away with this sort of mockery
- Our relationship/friendship is either long-standing, close or historically linked to this period
- I know he is part of my Tribe and will get the reference.
The comment had context – from me as author, for him and for any like-minded readers of his Tweet channel who are not following me.
Expanding your community on-line is never easier and more effective than by keeping it real and not trying to be/hear/see or do something that you aren’t. Content in context helps create your community. SIMPLE.
