Yes, there are rules. Just like practicing web etiquette when elsewhere, there are “rules’ to using Twitter. 1. Don’t use Auto DMs for new followers: Seasoned Twitter users find these very, very annoying. Why? For one, they are very impersonal. And yes, you can’t trick us. We know there are now tools that can stagger the amount of…
I often get into discussions with friends who have not taken the plunge yet about what exactly Twitter is and why they should want to join. Most of them are just started a website, or just getting into blogging, or starting a business venture and asking about promoting themselves. So, I thought I would throw…

It never fails. Each week as I tweet away with other Lost fans or BSG fans, I soon see a tweet fly by that says something like “Nooooo I see BSG spoilers” from someone that has not seen the show yet. Well I have only been on Twitter for a couple of months, but I…

In the comments of my posts titled “Comcast’s DVC is driving me nuts!!” I received a comment from Mark Casem, of the National Operations Team at Comcast. My initial thought was “what the??…. do they have an alert system with a flashing read light on it that tells them every time a blogger posts a…

As you can see by the tools in the sidebar at the right, I have started using Twitter. I have heard about it forever, but at first didn’t see the point, so I never checked it out. I just finally signed up a few days ago and have started posting “tweets”. It’s a quick way…
