Comments on: Do You Twitter? http://midlifebloggers.com/2009/05/11/do-you-twitter/ Making The Most of MidLife--Together Mon, 21 May 2012 02:15:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: byjane http://midlifebloggers.com/2009/05/11/do-you-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-3386 byjane Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:31:08 +0000 http://midlifebloggers.com/?p=1166#comment-3386 Jill, I appreciate your thoughtful response to my rant. I think I'm pissed because I joined Twitter back in '06 when it was the new pony in town. Now it's the old hag that everyone's riding. Seriously, I get the ways in which Twitter aids and abets one's business. I'm just, as they say, not that into it. On another note--sort of--would you care to expand your response for a post on MidLifeBloggers? Jane Jill,

As a business woman, I do a lot to keep my business running and growing. Some days it all goes well and others there seems to be a new challenge at every turn. From blogs to FaceBook to Twitter here are some down to earth facts to consider: Social networking is no longer just about someone’s latest vacation photographs (FaceBook) or what they had for breakfast (Twitter). Your business is not going to be an overnight success because you have a blog or a Linked-In profile Yes, they are time consuming and consistency in posting is necessary Social media does allow you to connect with colleagues, associates, clients & customers. Each business decision you make is just one piece of the puzzle. Even when you try something that doesn’t work you have gained expereince because your success comes from the sum total of everything you do.

A lot of the time, I'm just not in the mood, or I don't feel like I can or want to add to the conversation. And I don't follow any celebrities (I mean, really?). It's a way to be in touch, but who wants that all the time? Hint: not me. The easy answer is sometimes I do, and sometimes I don’t.
