I receive thousands of visitors searching for Twitter’s elusive ‘mission statement’. Obviously, people are interested in learning about Twitter’s values, goals and principles. I’ve emailed both Biz and Ev about creating a page. So far, they haven’t responded. Stay tuned.
Tech, social media, voip, politics, logistics, society. Current events, trends, news, products, companies. Writer, author, speaker, activist, journalist.
That’s the bio from my Twitter profile . It’s simple and explains a lot of things about who I am. I joined the Twitter community with a lot of curiosity. My presence on Twitter has grown steadily over time. I’m still surprised that my conversational approach to tweeting has garnered almost 4,000 followers without gimmicks, campaigns or other tricks. ‘Organic growth’?
While I do not command six-digit followers. I am still amazed by my ability to connect with and engage interesting people. So, here’s an opportunity to explain my own Twitter Mission Statement. The intent here is to educate the community about my interest and purpose for being a member of the expanding Twittersphere:
Relationships
I am a community-oriented individual. Creating great and long-lasting relationships is my goal in life, whether online or off. Twitter affords me a great opportunity to connect with the world in a new and exciting way.
By focusing on the creation of great relationships on Twitter, I have already realized some of the following:
- Great new friendships
- Great new opportunities
- A priceless education in life, business and more
Because of what Twitter means to me, you will discover that:
1. I am genuinely interested in learning about you
2. I am brutally honest — even if I know it will be unpopular
3. I will always be honest about who I am, what I’m feeling and how I see the world
Sharing
I believe it’s important to share knowledge and insight with the world. The power of sharing is priceless. I enjoy tweeting about a variety subjects on Twitter:
- Politics
- Society
- People
- Social media
- Current events
- News
- Products
- Companies
- Technology
- Government
- Business
Everything I share on Twitter is a reflection of who I am as an individual.
Laughing
Not all is serious in my world. I do enjoy unwinding and having a nice time. Laughter is an important component of life, so I try to mix in some light-hearted stuff on occasion as well. We may not be in the same room, but I hope that my approach to humanizing the Twitter lifestream will bring us closer as community members.
Learning
I am a life-sized sponge at heart. I never stop learning. I will ask you many questions about things I’m curious about or have no knowledge of. These questions could be about you, your business, talents, experiences, etc. In return, I will also answer your questions.
At the end of the day on Twitter, it’s all about the relationship. Let’s connect.

Excellent mission statement. I enjoyed reading your views and intentions. Thank you for being an inspiration. (I fave your tweets often.)
“Blue”,
Thank you very much. I had no idea my tweets were being saved on Twitter. Pretty neat.
I’m learning a lot, quite a bit indeed, about social media and networking. Much of what I learn is through the tradition of our African foreparents; they learned a great deal about the world by observation!
I’m attentively observing your efforts.
I may not be able to fully express either my gratitude or excitement about the possibilities of the future, because of what I’m learning.
Suffice it to say that I’m tremendously gratified.
Much, indeed a significant portion if that awareness and excitement has been generated by your ideas and sharing.
I offer my humble appreciation.
Cedric,
I had no idea I was an inspiration to anyone on Twitter. I am humbled. Thank you.
Great mission statement. Clear, concise, sincere.
Bruce,
Thank you, sir. I appreciate your feedback!
