Do you use Twitter? Sometimes fun things do happen.

Twitter. Ah twitter. Say it all in a #hash tag in under a 130 characters. But say what? And say it to whom? I am still not sure what I am suppose to do with twitter. I feel like a small fish in a very big sea. Sometimes though a fun thing happens, and you realize maybe the world is not so big and vast when it comes to people touching other people. I love Masterchef Australia, and then I started watching Masterchef UK season 9, and I just finished it last night. It was quite enjoyable. The cooking was amazing. One of the contestants you could not help but like and root for is a talented young lady named Natalie Coleman. She is a lovely person, humble, hard working, sweet and close to her family. She feeds her Grandpa and Uncle, to help look after them and because she loves them. She tries out her recipes on her Grandpa. He must love that. She is a creative and talented cook. She seemed to have things so well thought out. I thought it must be her career in finance, she was so orderly and always made sense with her food. […]

Is Twitter dying or dead? Why Biz Stone the founder has left the company

Will twitter die? Is twitter dying? What do you think? Who is really using Twitter today? When Twitter started, I seriously thought it would never catch on, ( but I also thought DVD players would not replace VHS, so I definitely can miss the boat big time.) Now wherever you go, any conference, any “Internet Marketing” type of gathering, you are told to use twitter and other “social media”. I even signed up and have been using Tweetdeck, since Tee Morris taught a class with me at the San Francisco Writers Conference on Social Media. (Update: Tweetdeck was absorbed by Twitter and they run a different program and interface with it now). Another tool that many people use that is a paid option is Hootsuite, they do offer a limited free program as well. Part of my philosophy about working online is to try to minimize distractions and stay the course on what you are trying to accomplish. So it was with great interest that I read this article about why the creator of Twitter, Biz Stone has left the company. Why Biz Stone really left Twitter. By FastCompany-2011 A few items jumped out at me. The majority of Twitter users, […]

How can I set up a strategic system or tweet plan where I am not creating more work for myself?

Posted on by

Kim Edwards is writing an article for the Independent Book Publishers Association, and she sent me some interview questions. One of the questions was: “How can I set up a strategic system or tweet plan where I am not creating more work for myself?”. This is a great question for me because I just recently started using twitterfeed. This is a tool that has greatly increased my traffic, (doubled it from the day I started using it!), and saved me so much time. If you are using Facebook and twitter and Linkedin and not using this tool, run don’t walk to sign up now. Did I mention it is FREE. I would pay to use this. It does take about 30 minutes to set up correctly. Well at least it took me that long because I felt a little confused about the feeds and I did not get a confirmation message after filling things in and I kept trying to check it and was not sure how to do that. Sometimes when I find myself feeling like that online I discovered it pays to leave it and go back. When I checked back later it was all there to see […]
