Listorious Interview
Sounds strange, but > ads. As a media player myself, I'd like 2C Twitter + other social + new media sites begin 2 break even, turn profit.
In the green sphere, @Treehugger and @Twilight Earth rock it.
Cheesy marketing bullshiite. ONLY tweetg re ur business + partners. Autoreplies that read like autoreplies. Not usg it consistently. Nvr RTg.
Hard 2 say, I send 40 a day. The best ones pass along useful info—or provide spark of levity or wisdom in our ADHD workaday lives.
Hypothetically, forever. No problem. I don't need to be connected personally. Professionally, however, it's essential. Maybe 3 hours, max!
I've unfollowd a few friends who were a little self-involvd: just tweetg re where they were, where they were, what movie they were seeing...
I use Tweetdeck. I lurv it, for most part, though I could make a few suggestions as a relatively longtime, active user.
Tweet daily. Use tweetdeck or other interface, not twitter.com. RT. Tweet links 2 articles, vids u find intg/funny. Follow intg peeps.
I luv Twit's cooperative spirit. Tho we get lotsa RTs (MNN, big green site, named us #2 nat'l green media 4 active followrs), > RTs=merrier.
Deepak Chopra? Nah...Comcast. Havg trouble w/bill situation, I complaind, askd follwrs 2 RT, made so much noise they clued in, helped out.
A pal, @Micah, started #ff / #followfriday. Wasn't funny, but = useful 4 long time. Also turning profile pics green 4 Iran=cool.
Frequently, in the past, by folks who don't use tweetdeck, seismic, or some dashboard interface. Never by those who do.
C'mon. President Obama. Would love to follow his daily actions, thoughts, meetings, frustrations, hopes, communications.
Why haven't we made "green" an official category? Isn't "green" the controversial, vital issue of our generation?
It doesn't help my site get much traffic-wise, not like FB. It's gr8 hwvr 4 connections, community, networking, communication—huge 4 us.
Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia. But that would mean he'd have to get a cell phone +/or a laptop.
Good news. Bad news. My community of virtual compatriots. My business' many blog posts e/day. Funny videos. Interesting ideas. Brkg news.
It's saved my business. Literally. A yr ago, we were a print publication, a nat'ly dist'd magazine. Going online, it put us on the map.
Water? Food? Bicycle? Laptop? Cafes? Mom? Love.
I write em myself. Don't pass em off 2 interns or writers. I keep em real. Have 2 pass smell test, be int'g 2 me + relevant 2 others.
climatechange, bicycle, organic, fairlabor, madeinusa, bipartisan, fairtrade, green, ecoresponsible, elephantjournaldotcomismyhomepage
I signed up approx 1 yr ago. Aft 1st 2 mos, my 20yrold web intern said, "Get on this. U'll luv it. Will b huge 4 ele." He got me on Twtdeck.
If it were short, relevant, fun, my virtual community wld likely adopt it. Was thinking #mindful, but it's not fun enuf.
