Great post. I agree with everything here! I'm still relatively new to Twitter, and I'm finding so much good info and so many nice people. I really find that personal interaction is the best way. I appreciate it when people are willing to take the time to say hello.

Brevity. Absolutely.

My twitter is thenormalmiddle for personal, LindseyLohrCox for business.

:) I don't tweet a whole lot business wise yet because I'm starting up.

I'm relatively new to Twitter and still trying to get the hang of it. I recently said "see ya later" to one account I was following when I had to hit "more" three times to get past their status updates. How annoying!

I'd love to hear some tips on how Twitter has helped find/retain clients and promote your business. I'm on Twitter, but still feel hopelessly ignorant about it.

I have to agree with you both on Facebook. I don't do business there. That's my "me" time. Twitter was the one I resisted most, and darned if it didn't turn out to be the most rewarding in terms of new business.

Paula:

I thought I was reading about myself. :-) I think it's the fact that I am the middle child of 7 and that's why I am so averse to "following the crowd."

Until I found Hootsuite and Twitter developed Lists, it drove me crazy opening my Twitter account to find it swallowed up by one Social Media guru. I like SOME of the info. but was on the verge of "Unfollow" until these came along where I could better control when I see it.

I'm still not completely sold on Facebook, which of course, puts me way outside the masses. :-)

As much as I loathe following the bandwagon, I probably should consider Twitter and Facebook for business applications.

I've never followed trends (never set them, either), so I have a natural resistance to participating in anything so popular. Time to get over it I guess.

LOL Sarah, it's fine. If I haven't been following you, I will now! I think I have. I don't know - it's Friday and I'm toasted. :)

Devon, exactly. Interact, don't spam us via TweetDeck.

Opps! Sorry to put the url in place of my name. Is it the end of the week yet?

So agree with your point about writing political messages. I encounter this on facebook a lot more, but maybe that's because I have more connections there.

Thanks for the tips! As a twitter newbie, it's always good to hear this kind of stuff :)
