Tweet away on Twitter

Twitter is more than a cool social networking applicationTwitter is about sharing, meeting, connecting, networking, brainstorming, all in less than 141 characters. 140 characters is the maximum amount of space you usually have for twittering. You can always post more tweets. It is a communication lifestyle. These are short, micro-blogs, that are quickly prepared, on the spot, and posted for the general public to view, or a private group. Each twitterer makes that decision. Twitter asks the simple question, “What are you doing now?” The answers are formed in innumerable ways.  You can tweet from your phone anywhere you have service, or from your laptop or PC. 

If you can’t say what you want to say in 140 characters, than it probably is not worth saying, or you need to work on reducing fluff. Twitter gives us all the opportunity to make our point, briefly, and just that: to the point. As a result of this structure, the blogger is compelled  to perfect his writing skills. 

I use Twitter to get information to the consumers, network with other professionals in my field of labor, and other professionals, to express thoughts that come to me, to provide useful tips and ideas that I think could benefit others, and to make new friends.

Twitter has a powerful search engion to help us look up people we may want to connect with, and follow. We use this search tool to find groups, companies, associations, to see who the members are, and then, we can connect with who we want to. This connecting, in Twitter terms, is called “following.” When you click the follow button, beside someone’s profile, you have just added a new contact to your ever growing network. That individual in turn, has the option of following you. Now, you two can share. You can even see who someone is following, read profiles, and click the follow button to follow someone that interest you, socially, or professionally. 

The key to success with Twitter, is to make your brief points, comments, suggestions, and ideas, interesing, fun, a pleasure to read, unique, and useful to the Twitterverse. You may get responses back to your comments, either directly, or for all to read as a post. You will even gain followers. This is good for most businesses. Followers can become customers.

Sometimes Twitterers ask questions, tell micro-stories, share recipes, discuss gardening, politics, school assignments, community events, personal recollections. Twitter is for everyone, but to be successful with Twitter, you need to feed your blog. Keep tweeting, and don’t stop. Let Twitterverse know you are out there. It really is fun, because Twitterers are fun and interesting people, that know how to use a micro-blogging platform to fit their needs in life. It is a lifestyle using a micro-blogging tool. 

I am KenFach on Twitter. Follow me. Hope to follow you.

Order in Twitterverse

I have posted tips on using Twitter, but now I want to share what I think makes Twitter a valuable tool for business and social networking.It has to do with the idea of order.

Let me start by stating what we all should already know, and that is that there is order in the universe. Pope said so long ago: “Order is heaven’s first law.” He was right to my understanding of nature. A computer is a system functioning under the law of order. We do what we do online because of order. Code make us see what we see when viewing a page. Using another analogy, a day is an ordered display appearing as morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night. Seasons come with order. Our lifestyles have order within and without them. In our work ther is and has to be order. We can’t avoid order because it is law, “heaven’s first law.”

In twitterverse, we tweeters of Twitter have fun networking, sharing with each other, meeting new folks, asking and answering questions, telling all what we are doing, thinking, eating, reading. Within this technology, there is order allowing our communication flow to happen.So, what is the law of order on Twitter that we all benefit from?

1. Logging into Twitter so a user can be identified as that individual with a given screen name.

2. The ability to follow other twitterers simply by clicking a button beside the user that we want to follow.

3. Creating a profile describing who we are to the Twitter community of users, and including our website.

4. Being able to reply to others’ posts.

5. Using no more than 140 characters per post. This limits what we say to what we feel is the message we want to send forth.

6. The ability to search posts under keywords, and to locate friends.

7. Seeing pics of who we are following and who are following us.

8. Seeing our chain of posts either as single proclamations, shared information, or within conversations with one or more other Twitter users.

Order on Twitter is reflected in so many ways giving its participants a useful system of communication with today’s communication technology: micro-blogging.

See you on Twitter. My screenname is KenFach.

Twitter Tip of The Day

Use Twitter, or other micro-blogging sites to practice and perfect sentence syntax. Since you have limited space for a message, within that 140 character space, style, structure and syntax can be played with perfecting a message. Twittering demands a concise, structured and organized space. Micro-blogging is blogging in smaller space than with blogging in general.

I have tried saying something in one way, found it was not effective, and tried other word combinations to perfect the message I wanted to deliver. Knowing my space limitations, that makes me less reluctant, and more enthusiastic about creating a better message.

There are so many reasons to micro-blog using Twitter or other platforms, but improving language and communication is a good reason to blog. We make better expressions of a message. We become more sensitive about how words are used and combined. Twittering is about the love of words, phrases, sentences and how they all come together in a chain of communications.

See you on Twitter.

Twitter tip of the day

Real estate professionals can use Twiiter to micro-blog listings, homes for sales, market date for a community, and to promote their services, brand and company. Agents can also share homebuying and homeselling suggestions and information. Since the Internet is a garden of knowledge, real estate agents, mortgage professionals, home inspectors, title agents, home builders can use micro-blogging as a tool to distribute useful data and knowledge.

Micro-blogging demands short messages, so you are not losing readers by long accounts of how to do this or that. Micro-blogging delives your piece of knowledge block to a wide audience, which is what is wanted by business people.

Within a short amount of characteres allowed or accepted in micro-blogging, a property’s basic listing summary can be posted. Twitter is the most popular micro-blogging platform. It is simple and users enjoy that.

The spirit of twittering

On my Blackberry Curve, which I am very grateful to own, I often post on Twitter and other micro-blogging sites. I keep a record, almost, of my life’s activities on Twitter, leaving out what is so useless and ridiculous., but maybe including some of that as well.  I post what I feel would be helpful for many others. I post information from my experience and knowledge base. This includes information about mortgages, organic gardening, camping, nature, search engion optimization, interesting websites I have found, marketing tips online, micro-blogging ideas, blogging through WordPress, real estate experiences, interior decorating ideas, smartphones, and personal recollections. I can do it all in Twitter, up to 140 characters per tweet (Twitter post). I can also follow other people who twitter, and be followed. I can add and update my profile in Twitter.I can do it all, everything I need to do on my Blackberry Curve.

Thanks to Twitter, micro-blogging has become my lifestyle.

Join me on Twitter. My screenname is, KenFach.

Tallahassee is high tech and tweets

I go on Twitter daily, and like to read what others here in Tallahassee are tweeting about. So many interesting tweets on all different topics. Twitter is a valuable networking resource, idea market, center of wisdom, a product information source, and so much more. Not everyone in Tallahassee is on Twitter, so I am missing the viewpoint on things from the rest of this community. More people in Tallahassee need to get on Twitter and tweet, share their tweets, and join in on this information highway of micro-blogging. It is fun, and a good sharing experience. I have met very informed people on a number of topics, and gained much knowledge as a result of the pool of tweets on Twitter.

Tallahassee is a good place to live. So many people are connected on line through the various social and business networking sites in cyberspace, and so many are tech savvy, and educated. We have top schools, including Florida State University. We have the renowned Magnate Laboratory, probably the top in the nation. We also have a new technology/research center in the Tallahassee area. How many times have I come across a Florida State University’s research online. Yes, research lives in the air of this community.

People with knowledge are attracted to others for sharing this knowledge and getting feedback, or as they say in the blogging universe, “comments.” On Twitter, you can read opinions, conclusions, links to, and ideas on research projects going on all over. People click the follow button to subscribe to each other’s micro-blogs on Twitter. I have hundreds of followers and I follow hundreds. It is a give and take, share, and share, follow and be followed system.

If you are not on Twitter, and tweeting, it is not too late to sign up for an account, create your profile so others can see who you are, and start following and posting. I hope to read your Tweets as I do my other Tallahassee twittterers.

Twitter tip of the day

Twitter, and micro-blogging in general, is turning people into good, proficient writers. Since we are allowed up to 140 characters in our Twitter post, we have to get our message across using a minimal amount of words, yet say it in an attractive, convincing, and using good syntax.

Feel free to abbreviate when micro-blogging. People do this on Twitter, expect this, and accept this. Why? Because of the limited amount of writing space. 140 characters is not much, a sentence or two. I am surprised how much I can say in that brief amount of space. It has made me a better writer, and makes me work, and rework my posts getting as much into each post as I can, yet, expressing it attractively. Yes, our writing improves when there are space limitations, and we want to say what we want to say. We still can, but we have to get it across with fewer words. We filter out what is not necessary, and use language that will empower our ideas, our requests, our answers, our messages.

Now, one way you can learn what abbreviations are most common, useful, and easy to remember, is by taking time each day, and reading others’ posts, noting what abbreviations are used in them.

As readers of micro-blogging posts, we also become better readers, critical readers, and notice syntac and semantics in a way we did not before. I studied how to be a critical reader in my language and literature studies at Florida State University. I am trained how to interpret the context, message and symbols, which fill messages. We all become critical readers on the internet. We even have the option of commenting on others’ writings online. With Twitter, you can click reply beside someone’s post and then write you remarks, ideas, or suggestions. This is similar to the comment ability that readers of blogs have, if the blog creator allows for open commentary. I know I do.

Good day, and good evening blogging on Twitter, Pownce, Plurk, Jaiku, or any other micro-blogging platform.

My Tallahassee Twitter Tip of the Day

Micro-blogging has the potential of being the most commonly way of expressing oneself online. Why? Because you have a limited amount of space to present your message, and people prefer to read short messages and not full-length blogs. The creator of a mini-blog, also has more time to read others’, since less time goes into writing sentence after sentence and editing the work to get it right.

Twitter, which is the most popular micro-blogging platform, and other micro-blogging sites, allow for up to 140 characters. That is not a lot of space, so the writer if forced to work his/her message in a way that it presents what the writer wants presented. It tones and tunes writing skills. For that reason, micro-blogging helps to make us all better writers. The topics that can be written on are countless it seems. Any and everything is presented and discussed through micro-blogging. What makes micro-blogging even better, is that what is presented can also be commented on, and there can be a chain of conversations around an original post.

Have fun twittering and micro-blogging in general. Get your message out, and look forward to comments, and networking enrichment.

Kenneth in Tallahassee.

Twitter tip of the day

Micro-blogging is a technological way of getting the word out about a cause, a movement, a belief, a sport event, a campaign to right some injustice, or to gather members for a political, social, or community event.  Too me, micro-blogging is technology’s finest contribution in the age of abundant software. The examples of how micro-blogging can be used are  many, and I will not list them here. Just look around where you live, and I am sure you can find causes that are reaching out to muster community involvement. There are food drives, car washes, membership drives, sign holding, carnivals, bake sales, mailing campaigns, and so much more going on with the idea of raising money, and membership to support something useful (at least to the members of the organization).

Twitter, Plurk, Identi.ca,  and other online sites, are micro-blogging platforms that allow for short messages that can be on any topic. The field is endless. A message on behalf of an organization, can find strong support online, and micro-blogging is just the means to getting this message out. People may not have the time to read or care to read a typical sized blog, but may be more interested to read a short mini-blog, or micro-blog, which has no more than 140 characters, usually.

I go onto Twitter, and I find all kinds of causes manifested among the many, many tweets. I am sure new members and new money for the many causes and organizations around the world are coming from Twitter, and other online sites. Micro-blogging is like dropping a message from the beak of a pelican. Many may go by and ignore the message on the ground, but some may come by, read it, put it back down, and others come by and follow suit again. It is about numbers, and micro-blogging reaches a vast amount of readers. Everyone has a message, if only we had pelicans who could drop our messages all over the earth. Well, we do with Twitter, and the other micro-blogging sites.

Twitter tip of the day

Using any micro-blogging platform, whether it is Twitter, Identi.ca, Jaiku, Plurk or other, why not let the world know something about where you are at the moment. It is as if the question can be, not, “What are you doing now?” but rather, “Where are you now?” Tell about the restaurant you are eating in, the store in which you are looking at clothes, a movie you are watching, a park you are playing in, view you are admiring, a town you are visiting, an old house you are walking through. Micro-blogging is good for getting to the point on something, as I always say. We can say something quick, and interesting, and then, move on to something else. As you post about a place, you never know, you may find that someone else has been there, and shares the same sentiments or has another comment to make about that particular place. That is the fun of micro-blogging, when people come together with something in common to reflect on, and travel seems to be just the subject that we all can relate to.

Twitter is my favorite micro-blogging tool. I write about something I feel is useful to others, following the Golden Rule, and receiving notices in my inbox that someone has decided to follow my posts. The follow button is on of my favorite button on Twitter. We can build up quite a following that way.

Have fun micro-blogging, and be sure to share something special with all of us.

Starting a new day in Tallahassee

The word day is one of the first words in the holy bible. The word is throughout the bible having a tone of inspiration to prophets, a feeling of newness in the beginning, and a symbol of hope. Now, I am looking out the window at a new day, a new beginning, here in Tallahassee, Florida.

First of all, I have been reading so many mini blogs at http://twitter.com. This is a blogging service that goes on day and night, 24/7, just like there is always, day, somewhere on earth.

 On Twitter, I can read what my friends and others are doing at the moment, what they are thinking, what they are wanting, what they are cooking, what they are making, where they are traveling, how they are doing what they are doing. It is a real life storyline of events and thoughts. I jump into the mass of writers, and express myself as well. I tell the world who I am, where I am, what I am doing, how I am doing it. I discuss in the limited amount of space offered, about 140 words

Such is one way that I can start my day. Not the only way

The word is throughout the bible, starting with “day” as newness, a beginning of something great. Later, “day” has a tone of inspiration to prophets, and a symbol of hope. Now, I am looking out the window at a new day, a new beginning, further hope, here in Tallahassee, Florida.

How I Twitter To Share and To Learn

In between those blog posts, sometimes big posts, and work demand, I like to twitter.

I go to http://twitter.com and find myself
reading twitters from my friends and from the general public before I input my twitter posts, or I may go right to work at twittering.

What is the big deal about Twitter, you say. Well, it is extremely popular and so many are twittering. It is a fast way to build a network: social, common interes, or business. It has high SEO. Search engions love Twitterers. The big benefit is that you are not reading someone’s long, boring blog post, since Twitter posts are small, mini-blogs that focus on answers to the question, what are you doing now.

The answer to that question can have a wide diversity of responses. What you are doing now can be a thought you are thinking, an act you are performing, a dream you are having, a desire you are planning to experience, a mood you are in, a complaint you have, an issue you are working to resolve, knowledge you are sharing, a longing you sharing with the world. It is unlimited the number of responses to the question, What are you doing now?

Since I have been using Twitter as a vehicle to grow my business, make friends, get to know others in my community and in lands that interest me, I have read posts about: animal husbandry, cooking suggestions, favorite dishes, successful and unsuccessful relationship, the latest in music and video, travel experiences (my favorite), yard work, waiting in line, real estate interests, real estate professionals networking with ideas, buyers looking for homes, sellers wanting to sell their homes, friends learning about technology used by each other. So much diversity and idea sharing goes on in Twitter.

Who gets benefitted by all this? Kennet Fach, a Mortgage Consultant and Real Estate Agent.
Twittering is now my passion. It is my way of keeping up with others, getting instant news before it is even in the news. I can even get northwest Florida news and happenings sometime very fast through this tool.

Twitter brings out the best and sometimes the worst within us. I can work on my strengths and reduce my shortcomings thanks to the feedback from other Twitters. We all have something to share. We can share on Twitter in short messages. Nothing long is allowed. Just short, in phrases, sentences, broken sentences. It is not a grammer test.

So I invite you to my Twitter posts at http://Twitter.com/kenfach.
