My Experience Live Blogging WWDC20

I got a bit Twitter-trigger-happy yesterday…

Yesterday, Apple held their first ever web-only Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). And I decided to live blog the event.

It grabbed approximately two hours of my life and resulted in the following Twitter engagements:

  • 2 new followers
  • 1 mention
  • 8 likes

For someone who’s attempting to build an audience from scratch, any numbers that point upwards are good numbers, but that’s a fair amount of effort to put in for little return.

The unavoidable, hideous truth about this will come down to one of the following facts:

  • gaining a following on Twitter organically is a long, long game; o
  • my tweets were crap.

It might have been the latter. I tweeted 89 times during the event, and some were in such quick succession that Twitter decided to block my account momentarily.

Equally, they may simply not have been interesting or spiky enough. Shame, because I thought I came out with some gold.
