"By George, I Think I've Got It!" (In my proper British voice)

Source: solbites.com
I am not competitive by nature, but when I have not  accomplished a goal I have set for myself, it brings out the competitive spirit in me. Knowing that I was unsuccessful at Twitter Chat, I jumped back onto the Twitter superhighway the following week. Refueled with additional information about Twitter chats, I signed-on to Twitter at the scheduled time. I searched for the Twitter chat I wanted to participate in using the chat's hashtag and braced myself for another "world-wind" race. As I slowly merged onto Twitter's super highway,  I discovered I was late getting to the starting line. The race had already commenced. Hence, I forgot to introduce myself  and hastily sped up in search for the first chat question. As I skillfully maneuvered through tweets, I saw a few that I wanted to respond to; especially the ones that referred to Twitter chats as fast and furious. Although those "pit stops" put me in the rear view mirror of many Tweeters, I still was able to respond to questions 2 and 4.  And I did this using my smart phone on the actual Twitter Website. Yea, me!  Needless to say, when the checkered flag was waved, I received a prize of worth-while information and three followers.
