Twitter Profile Basics

Twitter is an exceptional tool to engage community. I provided a quick Twitter Overview and this process walks you through signing up, adjusting your settings, selecting user name(s), avatars, meta data and importing your current contacts.
Being active and engaging in your community is vitally important. The same time you invest in your personal face to face relationships, you will need to invest in growing and enhancing your online relationships to be successful and built trust.
Overview of Twitter Basics
Setting up a free Twitter account is simple.  Once set up you can move beyond the basics, and consider getting several accounts and [...]

Social Media Perspectives Have Changed

Spring is here and I felt like a clean, fresh start. We have spent the last 7 months on two large development projects, and we upgraded our website, so we decided the blog needed a new fresh beginning.
The old blog had a few of my favorite posts, so I decided I would to start by updating a few past articles and started with Social Media. As I read through them, it was like going through a time machine. It brought me back to a time, not so long ago, when people were laughing at Twitter, didn’t understand [...]

Enhance Comments with Twitter Link

I was reading TwiTip and realized there was a comment field, to link your twitter address, linking to your Twitter home page.  That is a great idea. I searched for a Wordpress Plugin, none was found on Wordpress.org. This worked great until I upgraded to 2.7 and am hoping this plugin will soon be upgraded as well.
To my delight, a few days later ProBlogger, wrote a post on his process.  He provided a link to Ideashower, a plugin developer with a method of adding fields into the comment section. Between ProBlogger ’s post and the overview of the developers site [...]

Get Creative with Your Twitter Background

This post has taken an interesting turn. My original thought was to feature individuals, as well as big brands in this set of examples.  That turns out to be an entirely different post, as few big brands have actually “branded” their Twitter backgrounds.  Valuable no cost space to show their unique brand, being wasted. Why? Maybe it was over looked as they hashed out their ROI justifications.
What the big brands have missed, the savvy business professionals have not. What do I mean? Take a look at these creative backgrounds, not only shows their brand, but also contains useful information in [...]

Tweetburner – Tracking Shared Twitter Links

I follow a variety of wonderful professionals on Twitter. Through their daily links I learn a great deal, on a variety of levels, without the time investment of surfing the internet for information. I use links as part of my daily education process, quick, easy, sent by respected members of my network community.
In return, I send out information that I found interesting or helpful. That information was valuable to me, but how to analysis the value to my network community? Sure, many times I get tweets of appreciation or DM’s, but that is not a analysis by any means.
In compiling [...]

Twitter – How Do You Manage the Noise?

What is noise? The “noise” they refer to is you, their network of followers. Examples include tweets about pets, children, going to the gym, what someone ate for lunch, etc.
Over the years I have learned, great ideas, long lasting friendships and partnerships, often come from amazing places.  Looking at the surface is not a good judge of a person or situation.  Everyone has something to offer, everyone is necessary, everyone is of value.
This video remains one of my favorite Social Networking tips, one I thought I would share with you today.  The video is by Gary Vaynerchuk, a man with [...]

Brands using Twitter

Anyone who knows me or engages with me on Twitter, soon realizes I believe in the power of Twitter.  It has become one of my favorite daily social networking tools.  A surprise considering I started with the question “what is a twitter”.
No morning paper for me anymore, just coffee, blogs and my Twitter peeps, for the first hours each day.  Topics change by the minute as information is spread through Twitterville.  Over the past few weeks, I have noticed an increase in brand discussion, the leading question, what brands are on Twitter?
The blog Fluent Simplicity dedicates an entire page titled [...]

Twitter In Plain English

Common Craft has created a reputation, for taking complex ideas, and turning them into short, unique and understandable videos.
I thought this would be a nice compliment to the posting “Twitter, What is a Twitter” and “Twitter Two Months & Counting”.
Common Craft has many more enjoyable videos, on their website as well as on YouTube, teaching Social Media services and applications in a easy to understand format.

I hope you enjoy and if you know of any other useful videos of Twitter, please let me know.

Twitter – Two Months & Counting

In the two months I have been testing this tool, I have discovered far more benefits to Twitter than ever imagined. It strikes me as funny, that I have only been using Twitter for a few months, because I already have created some wonderful relationships. This alone has made my Twittering experience worthwhile.
In addition to making new contacts and friends, I have been lead to valuable resources, helpful links, new social networking services, evaluations of new communication tools, alternative phone services, advice, support, and education and been witness to new ideas and the use of future technology.
It makes me smile, [...]
