Sunday
has a new name. It’s called Hash Sunday
Blog Tour. Barely one Sunday goes by and several of my tweets get retweeted
by @TopTweet—Twitter’s official profile. That’s the magic of #sundayblogtour. You see, I finally
figured out a way of reaching out and saying thank you to the folks on the webverse who never seem to get enough of
the claptrap I post on my blog. I don’t suppose I could ever possibly find out
who they really are. According to twtrland’s
Audience Demographics, my twitter followers rep some 69+ countries. How many
among these, do you think, make up for the 120+ visitors’ countries on my blog?
Here’s
what I did. I devised a technique which guarantees I will pay back at least, a teeny
bit for these genuine gestures of goodness. Code name: #sundayblogtour. Every
Sunday, I go on a virtual tour of sites and blogs by clicking a random link on my
TL; I copy a snippet and share it, link attached, on my twitter profile. And
there you have it, the long and short of #sundayblogtour.
So far I’ve visited several hundred sites. And now, I’m stepping up my game by
posting the links up on my blog. What you have here is the first of a series of
100 tweets dating from July to September (mostly the previous year’s stuff).
