Making it Easy to Subscribe

August 11th, 2008
· Filed Under: Twitter · Twitter Tips & Tools

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

Using Twitter to Make History.. and Create the Future. Twitter in the Classroom

August 9th, 2008
· Filed Under: Twitter · Twitter Videos · Twitter in Education

@mwesch used social media tools to turn what could have been a boring university lecture class into an experience that harnessed the power of students knowledge, connections and imagination.

His views on education are refreshing. The outcome from the class is fascinating.

While watching this video, I kept thinking of more ways that a small group of people can do more than we had imagined.

I look forward to seeing your comments about how you will use this in your network, relationships, groups, business and life.

Please put your @ handle in your comment so we can follow you on Twitter.

CNN mentions Twitter in Another Story

August 5th, 2008
· Filed Under: Twitter

We’re not here to talk about drilling, energy, or politics.

We are here to share the rise of Twitter use by those who do care about drilling, energy and politics

Here’s a update from CNN about the #dontGo campaign

Support for House Republicans has also been active on Twitter, an
online micro-blogging service composed of short text messages. The tag
“#dontgo” set up by Odom and Ruffini and other activists late last week
is currently one of the most popular topics being tracked on
search.twitter.com. In addition to the new Web site, Rep. Eric Cantor
of Virginia has launched an online petition which has garnered more
than ten thousand online signatures so far, according to information
available on callbackcongress.com.

Read the full story here

We are still looking for the latest news on Twitter being used to break and report the news.

Leave us a comment and we’ll quote you in the book if we can use it. Be sure to include you @ handle or Twitter URL

June 10th, 2008

I just got back for Philadelphia where I met with a bunch of twitter buddies at JValertLive.

Been looking for Tweet-ups here in Vegas, and planning the Twitter Cruise.

Some say that they wouldn’t want to meet up with Twitter friends in real life.. but what about you?

Have you met someone on Twitter and then in the real world?

Tell your story here.. POST A COMMENT and your Twinterview might wind up in Twitter Handbook

(you can do 140 characters, 140 words, post a video or audio.. it’s all good.. just make sure you put in your Twitter @ handle) Technorati Tags: tweet ups, twitter fireinds, meet ups, real world

What Does Your Profile Photo Say About You?

June 4th, 2008
· Filed Under: Twitter

I’ve been running into people who have been trying to get set up with Twitter and social media and seem to be “missing the mark”

They tell me they put some effort into setting up a profile, but don’t see much action.

Quite often, they are using a corporate name, a bland of missing photo, and haven’t posted much.

Is the photo you use for you profile important. Here’s what one user learned.
