    In reply to @cybraryman1
  • rachel_rickman2 Apr 29 @ 9:07 AM EDT
    #NT2t I believe in using a photo so that it is more personal as well as showing yourself
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 29 @ 9:08 AM EDT
    A1) Get a picture. It makes you feel real. It's not about how you look it just makes me feel I'm typing to a human #nt2t

  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 29 @ 9:09 AM EDT
    A1: Using a real picture of you makes it more personal, and makes me feel like I'm talking to a person and not a bot. #Nt2t
  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 29 @ 9:10 AM EDT
    A1: It can be hard to overcome the feeling of 'danger stranger' though, and the fear of putting too much info 'out there'. #Nt2t

    The pics are small. rarely pay them attention but like them to be there. Then when meet people I think they don't look like their pic #NT2t

    It is nice to have a real photo, because as @cybraryman1 pointed out, when we are at conferences we recognize you. #NT2t

  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 29 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    Q2: How important is your profile to your account? Does it matter what you write? Why? #Nt2t
  • libraryteach16 Apr 29 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    A1. I would think for a professional Twitter your real photo would be best. #Nt2t
    In reply to @hturk139

    And what do you think David? What's the Twitter verdict? Worth it? I think I am biased! #NT2t
    In reply to @stephensonmused
  • CHitch94 Apr 29 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    A2) I definitely check the bios for people when deciding whether to follow them or not. Want to know what they do, interests. #nt2t

    Also an early indicator of quality of tweets. If it's full of misspelled words and strange sayings, probably not an account for me. #Nt2t
    In reply to @CHitch94
  • Elizabethutch Apr 29 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    A2 It seems to. I don't like bios that are all hashtags as I'm not sure it tells me much. I like to know job and interest.#NT2t
  • JKatzaman Apr 29 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    A2 Your profile tells who you are, quick and dirty. Say who you are and what you do in a catchy way without wasting words. #NT2t

    A7) I don't care if people know I have blocked or reported them. Had to do this often in past when porn spammed sschat. #notcool #nt2t

    A7: I have blocked many ppl for inappropriate thins and I reported one. Not sure what happens next #nt2t
  • Elizabethutch Apr 29 @ 9:51 AM EDT
    Agreed! Apparently something has to be said at least 12 times before it goes in anyway 😄 #NT2t

    When. You block though all of their tweets are erased from. Yr Page which is nice #nt2t
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 29 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    A7) If you block - you can't commicate withe them. If you report? I don't know. What does happen? Does someone care enough to act? #nt2t
  • historycomics Apr 29 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    I used to go through my twitter feed and try to figure out why. Important to not take it personal. Some just do it as a numbers game. #nt2t

    A7 I've been blocked by someone (He told me). It wasn't the end of the world. It's just someone who you'll never talk with. No biggie. #NT2t

    A7: If I remember right, blocking someone just allows you not to see their page and they cant see yours. #pbispring17 #nt2t

    Loving all this info! It's going to be so helpful and will give me more confidence to participate in chats. #nt2t

    I have reported many for spam/porn. Twttr is supposed to investigate.I have seen accts that have been suspended b/c of investigation. #NT2t

    A7 I block anything I find inappropriate. It is my account and my decision. #NT2t
  • JKatzaman Apr 29 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    I just don't make it a regular practice to block people. Ignoring them is another, benign, story. #NT2t

    Someone told me before they were blocking me. And I don't understand why. Their decision was already made. #nt2t

    Think w/ the porn spamming of ed chats last year, someone halfway high up in Twitter finally got involved & took care of it. #nt2t

    A7. I do know from experience that blocking is supposed to block an acct from seeing you & u from seeing them...yes? #nt2t
  • spears_rspears Apr 29 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    A7: Another good question I don't know the answer to. I assume if I block them, I won't see their posts? #nt2t @JuliePJones
  • CHitch94 Apr 29 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    I can only imagine. It was constant and always from diff accounts so each had to be blocked. Super annoying. #nt2t

    General question - what's the best app for chats? Tried a couple but not sure which is best? #nt2t

    Accounts you have blocked cannot follow you, and you cannot follow an account you have blocked. More info: https://t.co/YH19i81BMp #NT2t
