Why Bother Tweeting At All If You Are Not Going To Engage

Let’s Tweet With Attitude!

Twitter IconLets make it a positive attitude!

An attitude that’s friendly, and responds to tweets!

Let’s not just drop links and then move to the next ‘broadcast medium’ to get a message out!

It seems every day I have people tweet links I may be interested in.

When I respond with a comment or question, they’re nowhere to be found.

Maybe they want me to respond via email from their website?

I don’t know, but it would appear that they don’t quite understand the full power of Twitter!

You see, the value of social media is that it enables us to create a buzz about our web site or offer.

By sharing a link that interests people, and then answering questions about it live, others notice, and may click the link and join the conversation.

That’s one way things go viral with social networking.

My advice to anyone seeking to promote themselves on Twitter or Facebook, in fact every where, is to engage, and interact!

Don’t just share links and precious little else!

If you want to simply broadcast your message stick to traditional media like television, radio and newspapers.

(And if you need a copy writer, I’d be glad to help. ;) )

Follow Me On TwitterIf you are going to embrace the Web 2.0 philosophy, you’re going to have to engage in conversation, and get to know people.

Why bother tweeting at all if you’re not going to engage with others and get to know them?

Is it ok to just share links and all the time not respond to questions and comments?

What do you think?

Leave a comment below and it will be tweeted using CommenTwitter once it has been moderated!

Be sure to include your Twitter user name!
