Glad you resent Link.
Well stated Blog post.

There is a fine line regarding Spam and posted links of
Value to the followers you have.

I follow people of common interest and have no problem
sharing information
relevant to that interest.

It must work because the click through is Good.
I have been social Networking for 50 Years, way before the
Cyber-age.

It seems like the Golden Rule applies…
“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”

As a Marketer and creator of exciting products since the 50′s,
I subscribe to everything and relish looking at Links form Like Minded peopel.

That is How I got Here,
Through your Twitter Link

THanks for the quick and dirty outline. at “nearly” 50 (48) I am working on these … long been a linkein fan, more recently a facebook participant (a few months) and not really getting the appeal of twitter quite yet.. it seems redundant at this point but perhaps that will change. I am open to the possibility

Jeff, Nicely written. Mrs. Cole obviously raised her son well, and we’d all be better off for following your lead. To expound upon your point about Twitter followers, I’m always a bit wary of a company following me. Sometimes I’ll reply and ask if there’s a human behind the curtain. Usually, I won’t get a response. Twitter is indeed about human interaction, so if there’s no person behind the tweets, I’ll pass on the re-follow.

Generally speaking, I agree with what you’ve written here. Where I do find myself in disagreement is this: tweeting everyday. I am not a very garruous or gregarious person and don’t have a lot to say – I am more of a listener and learner. When I have something of interest to say, then I share it. Most people, in my experience, don’t have a lot of great import to convey. Small talk is not my forte, I must admit. And, thank you very much for your imput.

Good stuff. Marketing is a science and this information helps. As a LinkedIn member, I think LI is much more suited for promotion across the business world as opposed to FB.

Very well said.

I am also one of the “50 somethings” who are active on Social Networking sites.

I concentrate on LinkedIn, but I’m learning Twitter.

Thanks for the Rules.
