I’ve been spending a lot of time on Twitter lately and that’s because it’s paying off both personally and professionally. I get linked up to great people with great leads on information, music, news, etc. and they retweet my information and ideas. I’m already at over 300 followers on Twitter and that’s only by adding people after they’ve added me first on all but about 20 in that list. Today I have some leads on about 30 people that I was going to add, the first time I’ve done that in quite a while.
I turned off my Twitter feed to my Facebook page because I think it was just getting obnoxious. It appears that the majority of my friends on Facebook do not use Twitter and it also appears that the protocol is to not pummell your Facebook friends with feeds of info that they are not interested in. Some people just want to see your updated status and that’s it, there is a “too much information” threshold.
What I can’t understand are people that I know who are involved in software/web-based/media companies who are not on Twitter as well as local folks who are involved in advertising and PR – hey, it’s a part of your job even though your boss hasn’t explicitly told you yet.
That being said, please follow me on Twitter if you aren’t already.
Yeah, why is it that the people who really should be learning from twitter, are not..
thanks for the post-marital advice …
