How it was like to curate @Twit_Egypt

Twitter was ten times more interesting during that week. I can say I actually enjoyed the discussions and the sweet interactions. It was nice sharing bits of our lives with people of different backgrounds and different countries.
I still feel I didn't talk about much of what I'm interested in, but anyway It was a great Twitter week. Thank you, everyone who was part of this.

How to apply to Curate


How to Apply


We thought it’d be appropriate to announce the conditions needed to apply, or volunteer. Actually, to curate the @twit_Egypt account, there are really no conditions except that you have to send an email to curstorsofegypt@gmail.com with the following content:


  • Name
  • Twitter handle and link
  • Age
  • About me (preferably couple of lines about you, this will not be used for the Twitter profile. We will use your own Twitter "about me" by default unless you request otherwise)

End of Curating week Article


Also, you’ll be asked to send an article about your week to the aforementioned email, please make sure that the article is reviewed and ready to publish as we will not review it.



General rules


  • Simply, no hatred against other groups of people

Being curator of the first week


I’m supposed to write an article about my experience on the first week as curator.


This is exciting since I was the first curator of the account. I have been thinking about this for a while trying to sum up the experience in couple of words and couldn't find better than "culturally nourishing" experience.


The bonding that happened with other curators, other humans during the week who became friends to me later on, the feeling that I represent my country in the eyes of other curators (now I'm exaggerating, right?)


I have seen something I already knew (but seeing something with your own eyes is different from just knowing) that we all, as humans, suffer in the same way and are pleased by the same thing, that deep down we aren’t different from each other, even proverbs are similar from a country to another (except perhaps some difference in expression but the essence of the proverb is still the same).


I have seen the problems other countries suffer, other people suffer as well as their happiness and even learnt about the solutions of some of my own problems and the problems our country is going through by talking to other people in other countries.


This has been an eye-opening experience, a mind-broadening one that I was pleased to be the first to lead and honoured to go through.


This wasn’t a boring article, right? :D
