Tips of the day for the Bird Diaspora:

(1) Practice self-awareness. This network is a community, not a "product." We are members not customers or bosses.

(2) Log into your account on the desktop and play around there. It's a great way to listen to what others are writing about and to boost them.

(3) Ignore people like me if you'd like. I'm #NewHere too

What do you even say about the death of someone like Mimi Parker of Low? This band has meant so much to me for so many years. I can’t believe it.

We're a few days into the current wave of #TwitterMigration, and we're all excited for all the #NewHere folks to have joined.

But please be mindful you are joining a social network that was not a barren, desolate desert before. It was a blooming, cozy garden.

It's not just about finding your old connections from  , it's also about making new valuable connections with folks on here, who might have moved years ago, or who might have never had an account on hellbird.
