I'm just going to throw this one out there because I want your opinion.
Last Friday I was on my way to Ottawa to celebrate Winterlude with my family (more on that to come). It's a five hour drive so when I got tired of reading, I went on Twitter and started going through tweets favouriting anything I thought I might want to read later when I had access to my computer.
I know from experience when you favourite a tweet, that account will get an email notification letting them know their tweet was favourited by another account. The notification includes the tweet and the account name.
About five minutes after favouriting a tweet (a recipe), I got a tweet from that account asking if I was going to try making it.
IT WEIRDED ME OUT.
I'm not sure why it made me so uncomfortable, but it really did. Maybe it's that I consider favouriting a tweet a private thing? I'm not sure but it left me feeling uneasy that I was asked about it publicly. Also, thankgawd I wasn't favouriting a tweet on making my vajayjay tighter or something.
When I told Erica the story, she thought it was good engagement.
So I'm throwing it out to you.
Do you consider an account publicly tweeting about a tweet you favourited in private good engagement or something that would make you uncomfortable?
p.s. While I appreciate everyone trying to explain this to me, I still don't get it.
