Arse-trology

Back several months ago, when I was fairly new to Twitter, I began posting spoof astrology forecasts under the hashtag #LukeyStars. I saw people already doing something similar at the time (the most popular being @horrorsc0pes) and I thought about having a go.

Initially, I began firing them out on the way to work on a daily basis, all the way from Aries to Pisces, then realised it may be better (and to help assure quality over quantity) to put these out on a weekly basis.

This was at a time where I didn't have many followers, and unfortunately, it wasn't very popular. Favourites/Retweets were scant, if at all. I lost interest and #LukeyStars disappeared from popular view.

A friend of mine, who also uses Twitter, was probably my best fan and has asked when #LukeyStars is coming back. I've postulated over this and thought about the best way to resurrect it.

What I have noticed is that people tend to have their own account for general goofing around/serious stuff and seperate @s for themed comedy tweets. So, if I were to bring #LukeyStars back, it might work better with a separate account.

Yesterday, I set up @LukeyStars to post astrology tweets, which I could RT from my main account to popularise. I could promote the account through other means too.

I'm going to bring back when I originally intended to do - regular tweets, on a weekly basis, and try to keep it fresh, original and with the aim to raise a few laughs.

Let's see where this goes.

I think I have too many blogs

I have four, and I was thinking of adding a fifth. But they're like little kiddies, they need attention and so forth. I don't even know if anyone even reads them.

I was thinking of adding a reviews site, where I review random things I use, to see if that could turn into a little money spinner. But I don't know whether I should bother.
