Whenever I blog I share the link to friends and family via email, on Facebook and on Twitter.
When I tweet I put the link, then copy and paste in the text and go through deleting most of it until I just have the maximum number of characters and key words. Then I go through hash-tagging (#) the key words, keeping mostly those that are recognised by the hash-tag system.
Some people and organisations see and retweet hash-tagged tweets appropriate to their cause or interest. For example any time I #autism or #autistic, it gets picked up and retweeted by some autism charities.
A few days ago in Fester’s Phone Manner I hash-tagged Mumbai.
Imagine my surprise to be notified that Mumbai News & Retweets@RetweetsMumbai had liked and retweeted my tweet.
According to its biography “@RetweetsMumbai ReTweets from in & around Mumbai & are not endorsements, Use #Mumbai #Bombay for RTs RTs are automated we take no responsibility of the RT's DM for more info”
I wonder whether any of Mumbai News & Retweets 2230 followers clicked on the link, and what on earth they thought when they got to and read the blog.
If so I feel an apology for any confusion or offence caused might be appropriate.
