That’s what I’ve read too, Nikki. And I think it’s a great one to follow.

I’ve tried to follow this rule (unless I’m ranting or having a conversation via Twitter) and so far it’s pretty spot in terms of building followers/fans.

I can’t wait to see that!

I just use Twitter, not another app, and on my computer and my phone when I click a person’s name I need to click the “gear” icon to find the Lists option. Still pretty easy.

Since I’m planning a special 2017 challenge on my creativity blog, it may help me identify people who might be interested in the posts.

LOL! I probably was.

Just to make it easier, if you see someone you want to add to your list, click on their name. When their profile window pops up (on TweetDeck it does), click on the “person” icon, then choose “Add or remove from lists.” Makes it easier than scanning the entirety of your followers list!

Okay. I just sorted some of my Twitter followers into lists. The funniest part? You were the last name on my list. Which probably means you were the very first person to follow me way back when!

That’s true, Paula. 🙂 I don’t use them as much as I should, so this is just as much a reminder to myself as to everyone else.

Pulse — great idea, Cathy! I’d not considered that.

The bios are all due by the 14th, but the rest can be turned in later.

That said, I’ll look into starting a couple of Twitter lists. Not totally sure how they work, but I won’t learn if I don’t try.

I comment on discussions on LinkedIn I find interesting or on Pulse articles that my network produces there. I’ve received a lot of visibility from that.
