I have found some great blogs to follow, Some great Christian websites (CWTR), I have been introduced, and learned about new things. I don't follow anyone whose Twitters are strictly business minded. I don't get offended if someone shares about their job, or business, as long as they don't push the advertising angle. I enjoy authors mentioning their new books, or articles they have written. And of course you don't have to follow anyone you don't care for and you can block people from following you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930512115644044795.post-34986226357324259652008-12-27T13:51:00.000-06:002008-12-27T13:51:00.000-06:00great article.

I hate the selling-thing and will not follow anyone if it appears their only reason for twittering. I have come to deeply appreciate and hold with honor the friendships I have made on Twitter...and that includes you!<BR/><BR/>Blessings...Lynnlynnmosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150393635514942267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930512115644044795.post-74681259812276702262008-12-26T14:33:00.000-06:002008-12-26T14:33:00.000-06:00Hey LindyLou,Thanks for this post, which Brandilyn...Hey LindyLou,<BR/>Thanks for this post, which Brandilyn's retweeted. I have struggled with the same thing: friends or business or both. I like what you said about posting to tell people what you've written. Yet I've learned a lot from people who seem to only post business stuff.<BR/>Me? It's business with a relational focus. If I hadn't tried twitter to learn from fellow writers and tell others about my books/ministry, I would not have met you, LindyLou.<BR/>And this would have been my loss.<BR/>Thanks again. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930512115644044795.post-77198365700381589022008-12-26T14:13:00.000-06:002008-12-26T14:13:00.000-06:00LindyLou, thanks.

It's really not much different from the old way of networking through, say, Rotary Club. As I've noted on my own blog, when someone in insurance joined Rotary, he/she didn't go around sticking out a hand and saying, "I'm so-and-so--buy insurance from me." It was about establishing trust within the community. Once that trust was established, Rotary members in need of insurance might well buy from that member.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I found this post through your tweet on Twitter. I'll retweet it for you.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>~ Brandilyn~ Brandilyn Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771812607327238979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930512115644044795.post-22267408068888102802008-12-26T13:36:00.000-06:002008-12-26T13:36:00.000-06:00Hello, I read this post and had to pause and think...Hello, <BR/><BR/>I read this post and had to pause and think why I twitter. Although I don't twitter a lot, I do mostly post business type events. I just wasn't sure if I should add personal things in there, so I usually don't. I have found myself commenting on some of my twitter friends tweets. Thanks for the post, gives me something to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
