Listorious Interview
Get past the "navel gazing" phase of Twitter's place in communication and relax about ROI.
I'd have to say it's the people I've met through #140Conf and #smchat, especially those I have met in RT/in person.
No, I still seem to be able to restrain myself in non-Twitter appropriate situations, such as while at religious services.
It's a vital part of my business conversation with work partners and colleagues, as well as a place to find needed resources and help.
Why do you keep using Twitter after the initial thrill is over? How has your use of twitter evolved? What do you hate about Twitter?
Steve Jobs. The Real Steve Jobs, that is. And Edward Tufte and Steven Few.
The game of changing the meaning of movie titles by changing one letter; trended around the end of 2009, as I recall.
@nancyduarte comes to mind.
The pleasure in sharing new discoveries, learning from others, exploring the world beyond my immediate reach.
It's helped me build my business, create new friendships and inspired me creatively through others' tweets.
Music. OS X. Fountain Pens. Ink. Paper. Face-to-face conversation.

Novelty, early adopter status, and it was free.

Integrating visuals (graphics and or video) into tweets.

Bashing, character assassination, and Retweeting egregiously laudatory tweets about oneself from others: that's really in bad taste.
I will shorten anything except for an em-dash. "-" is not "—"
@drew for #iblamedrewscancer (charity) and @bsimi for his innovative use of Twitter for @rshotel (biz/marketing)
The duration I can go without gets shorter month by month: currently it's about 36 hours.
I really can't decide, as I swing from loose banter to serious information exchange within the wide range of my tweets.
I have unfollowed Social Media gurus & rockstars, affiliate marketers, and overtly politically-biased Twitterers.
TweetDeck. It just keeps getting better.
Listen. Be generous. Share. Be kind. You don't have to follow everyone who follows you. Meet the people behind the avatars when possible.
