Well it happened last night while checking out twitter...I added followers and checked out my replies..my direct messages come to me via mobile. I like this set up..and in the process something happened...
I fell in love...love at first site!
According to many experts I do not use twitter in the way that I should...
I have conversations when the mood strikes me or when I am not too busy...not because I do not like twitter...its because I need to learn the fine art of very short conversation!
There are occasions I feel uncomfortable jumping into conversations...not because I've never done it before...
It's because of what the experts say on how to use or not use twitter..and at a 140 characters ..sometimes I can be long winded ...but twitter has taught me some self control and taught me that sometimes less is more. As salespeople..it's not a bad thing!
Last night I looked at my followers and checked out their sites and blogs... to my amazement..something new hit me in the face...where I felt uplifted.. embraced...and has encouraged me to use twitter more to my liking rather than what the experts say!
So I asked Mr. Tweet...am I a good twit or a bad twit?..according to Mr. Tweet...I'm not such a bad bird at all as a matter of fact...I am an enthusiastic twit.....my conversational level average...my links well above average..but one thing I was reminded while plugging my info in... Twitter is people and another way to reach them.
Moral of the story...use what works..to your liking..I think if I would have taken all the experts advice..I might not have stuck with blogging...or stuck with Activerain...or stuck with facebook for that matter. You get the message use what works best for you in the manner you are comfortable with! Sometimes we need to be reminded that our hard work does not go unnoticed...feeling bad about yourself on twitter?...Count on Mr. Tweet to give you the answers!
Thanks MrTweet.net...I think you are pretty dreamy! Like the site...follow him on twitter!

Good morning ma'am,
I so need to learn more about Twitter. I am afraid to ask people to follow me there because I have no idea of how to even use it.
I really do have to check out this Tweet stuff...
Hmmm...I do believe I need to start a new relationship with this Mr. Tweet!
Thanks for sharing. Like anything new the first time you try it, it can be (only if you let it) a little overwhelming.
I am still getting used to Tweets so I have no real opinion yet except that I still don't know what I'm doing. As they say..Build IT and They will come.
TWITTER...short but neat! Lots of news.
Hi Midori - great post, I've been using Mr. Tweet but never looked at my own profile.
My stats are:
14 Updates/Day Tweets 6X as much as the Twitter founders!
56% Conversation Engaging (Above average)
30% Links Good Connector
(Above average) 0 Recommendations
Not sure if that's good or bad. I sent you a recommendation on Mr. Tweet. Thanks for the great post.
Guess I have Tweeter phobia. Afraid of layering on yet one more activity that if done right will be time consuming. Not sure what kind of results would be drawn if I decided to dive in and become a Tweeter. I focus on AR and that really consumes that niche of time I have allocated for this type of outreach, and I love my new habit of blogging and friends. So I ask ... am I missing the opportunity? Thanks Midori for getting me to ponder yet again on this avenue.
Ok, I'm going to go check out Mr. Tweet and see what he has to say about me! Hopefully he'll be as nice to me as he was to you! Thanks for sharing!

I just followed Mr. Tweet... we'll see what happens with that.
Midori --- I had never hear of Mr. Tweet --- will definitely have to check out the site. Also, I am still not real sure about how to take advantage of Twitter. I have been off and on with it, because I don't really understand it completely.
Midori, Great post for those of us feel we are not tweeting enough or linked in enough et..
I'm guilty. I should learn to get my point across in fewer words. But 140 characters on Twitter is really never enough, depending on the subject.
Mr. Tweet has helped me build both my follower and following lists. I didn't know about the Twitteristics or Profile features though. Off to take a look!
Hi Midori,
I'm glad I found you here,it took me a while to look through many groups and here you are.Please do me a favor when you will have a minute read my blog and give me your honest opinion.I'm still in Europe and don't have an easy life here.I will check Mr.Tweet for sure.
Cheers,
Eva
