I will sometimes post tweets that are about a specific person or people, in which case I will imagine the people I am tweeting about to be my audience.
Mira GonzalezSometimes I will tweet things without an audience in mind at all, just because I want to say something that I don't feel I can say otherwise. Those tweets have a specific sense of desperation to them, because I write them when I feel like I don't have anyone else to talk to - as if Twitter is the only thing that will accept my insanely inappropriate thoughts without judgement.
Mira GonzalezI really like when people do 'stream of consciousness' tweeting, or when people's tweets come across as sort of manic and mostly unedited.
Mira GonzalezTo me, Twitter often feels like shouting things into a two-way mirror that I know has people behind it, maybe even people I know, and they are definitely listening, but mostly remain perfectly silent.
