Important Tweet Posts You Should Read (…If You’re Interested in Twitter)

August 25, 2009 in Business, Computer and Technology, Social Media | 2 comments

I found these two posts on Twitter very interesting.  They made me think about what I’m doing, Twitter’s future and how to do it better (tweeting, that is).

The first one is from Mike Campbell, CPA, my friend in Louisville.  He writes a blog at www.louisvillesoup.com and always makes me think.  This one is no exception.  Excerpt:

Keep a watch out for the next big thing. Better yet, be the next big thing. Early in my Twitter experience a lot of my followers went to Plurk. Most of them came back. Then there was Identic.ca. It proved to me that people are loyal to mircroblogging, but not a specific brand. Twitter is just a brand. Unfortunately it’s brand is tarnished from fail whale, lack of revenue, and being in kahoots with the CNN / Ashton Kutcher PR stunt. Furthermore, too many people have too much trouble answer the question, What is Twitter.

The second one is from Guy Kawasaki writing at American Express’ Open Forum blog.  He tells it to you straight forward and he doesn’t care what you think (sometimes he is a little too forward – but, hey, it’s his style).  Excerpt:

Based on these experiences, I encourage you to break all the “rules” that you’ve heard about social media and make your own. Like my friends from Alaska tell me, unless you’re the lead dogma, the view never changes.

Did this info help you?  Let me know in the comments.  Peace.
