More Twitter Stuff - How To
posted by Larry Weintraub | 5:37 PM |
This post is brief. Just a re-post of my DM News blurb about how to start Twittering:
Get started
Twitter is just one of the tools that you need to have in your social media toolbox along with things like a Facebook page, a LinkedIn profile, a blog, and an RSS feed on your website. We are living in an age of instant communication and a river of information flowing through our social networks, mobile phones, and email inboxes. Twitter is just the latest and most streamlined method for obtaining that information. So sign up and create an account, then find a few people you'd like to follow such as a celebrity or guru in your field, and follow them. Watch what they “tweet.” Some have lots to say and some have very little. Some “re-tweet” what others have said and some add links to photos, videos or news stories. This will help you understand how you should communicate. As you follow others, you will find people following you. You don't have to do a ton of marketing for your Twitter account. Just get started.

I see much in life as a possible business. It is exciting, but also torturous. I just don’t have enough time. A new idea often sends me into hours of thought, research, and ultimately deviation from what I really need to do in a day. I believe that the Internet has made it easy for anyone to create a business. I believe that the Internet has made nearly everything in life easier. I believe that trying to impact the masses is a tough notion, but finding a group of people similar to you, is at your fingertips. I believe that music is free, and that is not a good thing. I believe that life is a collection of experiences and that every day I learn something new and forget something slightly new.

It's all about creating community. For newcomers, after establishing an acct, best to "listen" to the conversation(s) taking place for a while, get a feel for it and then dive in. There are lots of interesting people out there.
