To Link or Not To Link

2012/02/03 Gayle 0

I like to talk with people. I love the exchange of ideas. I’m also keen on sharing knowledge. Last night I had the opportunity to speak to a group of local business owners about social media. The joy of talking with other small business owners is palpable for me. At one point in our discussion last night one of the participants said ‘and don’t link your Facebook to your twitter or you’ll piss Gayle off’. I can’t deny that this is true; you will irritate me beyond belief. Nonetheless, I do not believe I am the ONLY one! People link accounts because it is convenient. It is easy to think, I can post to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin, etc and all I have to do The rest of the story

Are you Using Social Media to it’s Full Amplification?

2012/01/25 Gayle 0

A goal of mine in 2012, along with consolidating my blogging, was to write consistently about social media. Last year I did well keeping up with my inspirational blog, and the occasional posts to my Glynne’s Soaps blog; However, when it came to blogging about social media, I quite simply was not any good. What I have discovered in 2012 is that while I have plenty to say about social media, my tenor is snarky. I want to blast some guy who inappropriately (in my opinion) shared his chicken soup recipe.

The following day Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin mentioned that Jonathan Vaughters apologized via twitter. I immediately had to have a twitter account. Here is the tweet I discovered “TeamSlipstream Ooops… I just dropped the F-Bomb on Versus, live. Sorry to all the parents out there. It was just really intense today… JV” Little did I know that I was beginning a love affair that would open doors, create friends, and change my world. Twitter turns five today. On March 21, 2006 Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey presented the world with it’s first tweet at 4:50PM PST, tweeting that he was “just setting up my twttr.” In honor The rest of the story

Twitter is a business tool you can’t afford to leave in the tool box

I oft find that people who have never use twitter think it is just a place to post what you had for breakfast or other random uninteresting information. What they don’t realize is that while there is a certain amount of random information available, there is also good and informative information available. I for one, rarely watch television news. I don’t need to; it is all available via twitter. If I am looking for a hair cut, I ask on twitter. I have discovered some of my favorite restaurants via twitter. The list of uses for twitter is endless. I have a great many interests and twitter allows me to follow all my favorites, in real time. From the tour de France to my beloved The rest of the story
