Seesmic, TweetDeck or PeopleBrowsr: Which One’s Right for You?

My travel plans (visiting family in Indianapolis) have eaten into my blogging schedule as of late.  I’d hoped by now to offer a post comparing Seesmic, TweetDeck and PeopleBrowsr. The great thing though about the net is there’s bound to be someone else to pick up your slack.  Enter Michael Hyatt and John Haydon. Michael [...]

I’m About to Kick Twitter In The Nads (I Want My Collateral Replies Back)

First off, I must acknowledge @thebrandbuilder who is responsible for the title of this post.  He (Olivier) made that very comment in a tweet he wrote earlier tonight.  For whatever reason, he was slow to understand exactly what the Twitter crew had managed to mess with regarding our Twitter experience, but once he got it [...]

Amazing Grace: How Tweet the Sound?

It was with much interest Sunday that I read an article from Time Magazine regarding the rise in the use of Twitter during church services.  In many instances, it’s even being pioneered by the pastors themselves. I immediately sent a link of the Time article to my pastor (@petetackett) via Facebook to get his thoughts: [...]

Help Me Help You

I’m wondering if you can help me with a decision I’ve been struggling with for several months now.  I should start off by saying if you’re not a Twitter user, you’ll probably be indifferent to my dilemma.

After seeing a few of my tweets from Podcamp Nashville earlier today, several of my followers on Twitter [...]

Automated DMs: Useful or Worthless?

Recently, I was challenged by a new Twitter follower (@normalrockstar) regarding my practice of sending an auto-reply direct message (DM) to new followers. He’d read my post on Twitter navigation and questioned my sincerity.  His DM read in part: Why is the guy who blogged about “interacting with followers” sending automatic replies? I responded by [...]

Twitterverse Navigation: Public Figures Who Get It Wrong (And a Few Who Get It Right)

I’ve been a participant on Twitter for several months now.  In that time, I’ve read dozens of articles on how to and how not to interact within the Twitter community.  It’s certainly safe to say that there are as many opinions as there are participants on how Twitter can best be utilized.  And, for each [...]

Why Are You Thumbing Your Nose At Twitter?

As you’ve no doubt heard, earlier today a US Airways flight, in a losing fight with a flock of geese, ended up in the Hudson River.  Miraculously, not one of the 155 passengers or crew was seriously hurt. You may have noticed, if you watched the news or read about it online, that one particular [...]
