    Let's start the following!
  • Big Dan · 11 months ago
    Interesting angle. I like it so I'm participating. :) As luck would have it, I'm relatively new to Twitter and am still figuring it all out. At first I discounted it but this time around I'm starting to like it and trying tweet by tweet to make the topics more interesting to my followers rather than being so centric to myself.

    BTW, nice layout you've got here. :)
  • lydia dishman · 11 months ago

  • g. dewald · 11 months ago
    Great idea Jim!

    For those considering following my Twitterstream, I tend to post about the following topics:

    data-driven marketing (applicable to all industries but with a heavier focus on lead gen businesses), Burlington VT (#BTV) things, occasional photography posts and slice-o-life.

    I tend to post between 5 and 15 times per day and interact with those who @ me.

    I am fairly well integrated into web analytics, Vermont, real estate, video editing, and general technology twitterspheres.

    Hi there! I am a singer/songwriter from Vienna/Austria. Many people compare me to the Divine Comedy, Rufus Wainwright, Ben Folds and also Burt Bacharach. Still I am convinced that I got my very own quirky style.

    I think there is not enough humour and criticism in todays music, it's always about having fun, being able to "consume" music like a snack. I don't compose songs like that and I never will. There are so many layers in every human beeing and I think it's important to adress them all.

    Anyway, thanx for the opportunity to post a comment here and I hope there are some people here interested in connecting with me, share ideas and thoughts. Thank you!

    Cheers,
    Richard

  • gacconsultants · 11 months ago
    You are a great resource and example to follow in business and on Twitter.

    Seeing some of the questions you answered on Twitter today, It makes me wonder if people "get" why you have 10,000 people following you???

    I appreciate the fact that I have never been "sold" by you - I have been the beneficiary of your efforts and hard work providing me valuable information and assistance in developing my business. For that I will invest in furthering my education with your services and will be recommending you to my clients and contacts as well.

    Let's see if only 10% in your community invested $1000 (low figure of course) in building their business over the next year, saving money, time, mistakes, and getting their business on the right track to success; that would be $1,000,000 in income.

    I'm sure this number will be much greater, but the point is you are successful because you possess something valuable, you freely share that value with others and as a result you establish credibility, cultivate influence, foster appreciation and gain customers - Hmmm; sounds like a great foundation to build a thriving business on!

    A brilliant business strategy for those in social media! (The comment wasn't for your benefit :)

    Take care Jim,

    Mark

    Thanks Jim. I'll only add in that I think the best way to build "quality" followers is to participate in quality conversations - commenting here certainly helps and reading what other people are writing is key. Unfortunately, there's a lot of junk/spam trolling around these comment areas and on Twitter too. Keep up the good posts.

    Note to self and others: before posting on such fabulous blogs as this, turn off all your noscript protection. Or none of the comment fields show up! And to everyone who builds their sites in JS, take a look at your site with scripts turned off. As they are becoming more of a problem than ever now they can hide nasty code inside them, many of us are visiting sites with full noscript protection switched on and we see.....um, nothing!

    I love meeting, learning from and helping others grow. Twitter is like home schooling with the best experts you could hope for.

    I created the Entrepreneurs' Forum, Women's Power Lunch & SPIES. I freelance write for magazines.

    I try to share things people will learn from, enjoy or laugh at, including marketing ideas, resources, Twitter tips, insights from people I meet. I've even made Twitter introductions for a charity in Africa and women in business.

    As I discover tools, I share some. You may want to look back on my twitstream. Or just say Hi and not! :) I communicate with everyone who writes me a personal note.

    Thanks to you, Jim, I just followed and tweeted:
