Simple tips for a better Twitter experience - TEDChris: The untweetable

  • With Twitter's huge recent growth, there
    are numerous brand-new users of the service. If that's you, welcome. Here are my
    quick tips.  (Experienced Twitter users, pls add your own suggestions in
    the comments section!)


    1. Get good at Twitter
    search
    The best way to get
    excited about Twitter is to experiment with its search function.  Try
    typing anything you care about -- your home town, your company, your hobby, or
    any Twitter username -- into the search box in the RH column of your Twitter
    home page. You'll probably be amazed at what you see.  (eg. The search
    below reveals Twitter users who apparently haven't figured out yet that there's
    a public search function!)

    others?

How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live - TIME

  • The one thing you can say for certain about Twitter is that it makes a terrible
    first impression. You hear about this new service that lets you send
    140-character updates to your "followers," and you think, Why does the world
    need this, exactly? It's not as if we were all sitting around four years ago
    scratching our heads and saying, "If only there were a technology that would
    allow me to send a message to my 50 friends, alerting them in real time about my
    choice of breakfast cereal."

10 LinkedIn LIONs & Super Connectors You MUST Connect With! | Windmill Networking

  • There are many resources on the web for finding people to follow on Twitter.  Just do a search for any particular type of
    person you want to follow (student entrepreneurs? job seeker advice? etc.) and chances are you will
    find a list.  But why none for LinkedIn?  Well, just as I have been
    the first to write on other things LinkedIn-related, I think it is important to
    introduce people on LinkedIn that I think you should invite and/or connect up
    with.  These people are either LIONs or “Super Connectors”, people with lots of connections
    that are open to receiving new invites as well as helping people connect and pay
    it forward.


    The importance of connecting with LIONs and

  • Super Connectors on LinkedIn cannot be understated.

The art of ReTweeting in Twitter, How to ReTweet better and cleaner

  • What is RT or RE-Tweet?


    Retweeting is a popular way to share a useful or interesting tweet. When you
    browse your friends or public tweet stream of information and found something
    useful, you would most probably like it to share with your
    contacts. They might not know about it or maybe their
    contacts doesn’t
    know about it either. So you copy some ones tweet and append RT along with their
    name and post it back into your stream for your contacts or the public.

    Gradon Tripp I was speaking to one of the best upcoming tech bloggers the other
    day about LinkedIn, and how I view it. To me, LinkedIn isn’t a place to dump a
    snapshot of where you’ve been. It’s an opportunity to stay connected to people,
    and to demonstrate where you are now, and where you plan to go next. To that
    end, I’ve got a little advice for you to consider applying to your own profile.

    • Your Summary


      Here’s where I think the most work can be done. When I look at my profile, I think it’s a bit
      long, but otherwise, I’ve done the following:


      • Lead with what I do most.
      • Lead with the type of business I want to do.
      • Move into the reasons why you’d do business with me.
      • Move from there into all the nuances of what I do.

Nine Ways to Build Your Own Social Network

white label socialnetworksThe idea of white labeling a network is to make the platform provider as invisible as possible to the social network’s users and to brand the network with the builder’s identity or intent. While definitions of “social networking” may vary, social networks are primarily defined by member profiles and some sort of user generated content.
