Thanks for giving me a chance. I have no idea if I can prove myself worthy of being followed or not. I can tell you that for now I have to be anonymous. I think that I would have more freedom in what I want to say, and I’m not talking about politically. I just know if my family ~ my parents or siblings ~ found my blog I would be questioned about it. I would feel very stifled in what I could write. I also want the freedom to write about my husband and kids without them getting their feelings hurt. I certainly don’t plan on saying anything to hurt them, but for now I just think it is better this way. And as far as twitter goes I will just have to learn the ropes. And I will mostly be on during the day. After 4pm or so my family will be home so I won’t have the freedom to just hang out online. Even if I am dying to know what is going on with people!

@Childsplayx2 – I totally understand, I was weird about the @ at first too… then I realized that I was using it to tune into who the folks I was following also found worth following – and realized it’s more just like saying “this is in response to something X said” rather than “I’m saying this where you can overhear it” Thanks for the feedback! :)

@Stephen – yeah, it’s not really a comprehensive list – and I’m sure there are people who disagree with most of it – it’s just how I use Twitter. :)

I totally agree with this. I’ve been unfollowing people who do things like this. I do auto-post through Utterz and my blog, but I hope there’s more signal than noise. Nobody’s told me to shut up yet. :)

I’m relatively new to Twitter but I’ve really enjoyed it. I have been a little reluctant to use the @ feature. It seemed strange to point a conversation at someone that everyone else can see – almost like being rude to the others who aren’t part of the conversation.

But, the more I’ve done it, the more I enjoy that connection.

Good list!

great post. makes me a little sad, thinking about the people that aren’t following me. but also makes me want to work harder to contribute more to the conversation, so that people find me worth following.

great post! as one of those ’social media’ folk i love reading these posts. it really helps when people are clear about what it is that they want and accept.

the thing i love most about the tools we have in this space (twitter, blogs etc) is that they are so very personal. what works for you is so different than what works for someone else – and it’s okay! more than okay, it’s accepted and it’s what makes these spaces so interesting.

Found this post – guess where?
One of big Twitter bonuses – for me – is finding people like you!

My Twitter tip for today?
Only have one Twitter window open at a time. That’s how I posted the same message twice this afternoon – about 15 minutes apart. Maybe I should start listening to my IT husband who keeps telling me I really can only work on one thing [window?] at once.

This week makes number four on Twitter – so much easier to meet and talk with new and current contacts than it is on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Thanks for the insights – keep ‘em coming.
