How I Use Twitter & My Favorite Twitter Tool

April 10, 2009 By Ms. Liz Leave a Comment

 tweetdeck

Twitter, like most things online, has TMO (too many options) and finding the best tool to make the most of your Twitter experience is important. I like to keep things simple and direct so after using a few twitter interfaces I've settled on Tweetdeck.

If you already have a twitter account, perfect, if you don’t you can easily set it up by going to http://www.twitter.com. Set up your profile, which is something you want to spend some time on.  I recommend using your real name. Be straight forward about who you are and what you do.  Your online bio, just like your tweets, only gives you a few characters to work with so make them stand out. You want people to know what you do and what you are about.  [Read more...]

Twitter Tips – What To Twitter About?

March 27, 2009 By Ms. Liz 3 Comment

I don't have the gift of gab, (I knew I should have kissed that Blarney Stone) so I'm not on Twitter as much as I’d like to be, although I'm getting better. I get a little tongue-tied when it comes to figuring out what to Twitter about so here are a few Twitter tips I've picked up.

I try to use the water cooler analogy and think of twitter as taking a break with a few friends, so what would I say when I'm with friends on a break?  Somehow, live conversation seems a bit easier but I try to go with it and think about how to get a conversation started, so let's start with the famous Twitter question "What are you doing?"  Ok, so here goes…  [Read more...]

Oh Twitter how I love thee!

Ok, so what's all the fuss about and why is this social networking tool such a hot item?  [Read more...]

Twitter – It’s growing on me!

August 27, 2008 By Ms. Liz Leave a Comment

For the past week I've been getting more twitter follows than sign-ups for my newsletter.  So what do I make of that? 

First of all Twitter is gaining in popularly.  There's hardly a blog or website I go to that doesn't have a Twitter icon on it, so I think most people are testing the waters and Twitter is a great place to do that. Why not find out about someone first on Twitter?

But I will admit that sometimes I struggle with my tweets. I could tweet about my morning coffee or what my kids are doing but I find myself thinking "who would care?"

Well I'm finding out that people DO care. If you really think about what Twitter does, it makes sense.  Twitter is helping others get to know more about you and your personality one tweet at a time.   Little snippets of conversation and comments really do tell others a lot about you.   

People like to know about what you're doing, your struggles, accomplishments or just 'ah ha' moments. They also want to know you are not perfect or have struggles — put a little of your vulnerability out there and people will listen. If they come to find out they actually do like you they will crave more and more of you …but put an advertisement out there and they'll be gone Annoyed 

There are lots of creative and interesting folks out there and I'm having a great time learning about them.  But I also enjoy that others can learn about more of me than just what I write about on my site or blog.
