It makes a TON of sense, because not all my followers are online at the same time as I am, and I like the fact that I can now resurface my own tweets whenever I want. Well, I could before, but to do it, I had to resort to silly antics/cheap tricks like:
Copying the links to old tweets to ‘Quote’ myself…
If I hear one more “How do you balance work and family life” question in an interview with a female entrepreneur, I’m going to lose my shit.

You get the idea. Twitter’s leadership been tinkering with the product for months now, and this is the first tweak that I’ve embraced right off the bat. That’s only because I like to reference myself when talking to other people. Does that make me a narcissist? Let me know.
