I received a polite tweet this morning suggesting that we add a RSS Feed Button to this blog.

Great idea, even though there is a list of reader option in the left column of each page. I’m all for making it easy.

Here’s a button just for @colderICE Be sure to follow him and tell him thanks

Are you putting your tweets on your blog?

(if the answer if “I don’t have a blog.. stop reading blogs and go start one.. find the Blog i360 logo and get started now)

Posting a few of your most recent tweets will keep your readers up to date, and encourage them to make a deeper connection with you.

I like AddTweets. There are several widgets out there, Get one and use multiple channels to build meaningful connections

What other ways to you cross connect you blogs, web sites, social networks, friends and customers?

Over the last 48-hours or so Twitter has been a mess. Following and Follower counts have been all over the board for most Tweeters. And with this comes a valuable lesson. As the dust settles, and Twitter finalizes their database updates, most people are finding a net loss of Followers.

This should be a wake up for you and anyone else who is using ANY New Media social channels like Twitter. The lesson learned is — DO NOT count on any social network to carefully hold and guard your followers, friends or contacts.

Social networks are merely communication channels, not storage vaults

Your main focus must be to leverage these social networks, not hang your hopes on them.

And that means moving people from interaction with you on the social network over to your New Media Marketing Hub that is FULLY under your control. (You do have one don’t you? If not, click here to learn more about the Hub concept.)

Once a person is at your Hub, you can welcome them into your subscriber family, and so much more when it comes to growing your business and boosting your bank account.

All this needs to be done persuasively, influentially and seductively. The move needs to be done without malice or manipulation. And definitely without using any of the deceptive methods of the Black Triad.

If you’re an entrepreneur, a marketer or a sales professional — you MUST take the time and effort to build your contact list separately; and in a way that is FULLY under your control.

That means:

1. An email subscription people can initiate on your New Media Marketing hub.
2. Building a database with off-line contact information (address, phone, etc) so you can employ a click-and-mortar approach to growing your Tribe

If you don’t take these actions, all your time, effort and connections could disappear without warning — literally overnight!

We’ll be getting together again to write the Twitter Handbook LIVE with you, the Twitterverse.

Last month during the 1st TwitCast, we talked about “What’s the use of Twitter?” Including the following topics/conversations:

What is Twitter

What are Hashtags

How to use Summize.com

How Twemes.com can be used

Is Twitter really “more than just chat”?

Can Twitter really useful for business?

& so much more as the community got involved

We had such great participation from the Twitterverse, which made the 1st ever TwitCast a huge success!

Adam Des Autels & Roger Bauer took it to the next level, as Adam helped to reply back to questions and comments as he tracked the conversation on Twemes & then Roger created a great video after it was over explaining the apps we talked about so that you, the Twitter user could make use of the services for your business or personal use on Twitter.

Warren & I (CoachDeb) have a solid belief about the Twitter Handbook. And that is:

The community involvement is what will make the Twitter Handbook a far better published book than if he and I were to sit down and start typing on our own.

Ever since we each joined Twitter - we’ve both learned everything about Twitter - by using it and interacting with the community filled with brilliant minds and wonderful souls - all willing and eager to participate and help one another out - either in sharing the best resources, or by teaching one another whatever they need to know.

This week - we come together again - to talk about Twitter, what it is, and what types of Twitter apps there are that you can start using to enhance your Twitter experience.

We’ll be meeting slightly later than last time in order to accommodate those requests from the West Coast, and down under who couldn’t join us to participate.

Here’s a recap of how to use Hashtags & twemes which will be important once we begin the conversation announcing the hashtag we’ll use for this chapter of the Twitter Handbook.

Thank you Roger Bauer for creating a great video recap of the TwitCast held last month.
