Perhaps you remember Sylvester the cat always trying to eat poor little Tweety.
“I tawt I taw a putty tat” as the saying goes. Tweety bird was, and still is IMO, an iconic cartoon figure. Of which there are not too many birds that fall into this category, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Chicken Little to name only a few. (Feel free to post your favorite cartoon icon)
It is almost a shame that the people who created Twitter could not actually use the “tweety bird” character from Sylvester and Tweety show as the icon. I think it would have been the coolest of they could have.
But that aside, Twitter, itself has become an iconic figure in its own right.
If your not using twitter regularly, then you are missing out on the “whole twitter experience”.
Twitter is a micro-blog, where you type 140 characters at a time. It is socializing at its best and can be spamming at its worst. But the upside outweighs the bad.
Think of Twitter as a group of friends. You talk to your friends from time to time, see whats going on, whats “happening”.
But you do not always talk to all of your friends at once. How many friends do you have? 10, 20, 100, 1000? Well with Twitter you can have thousands. But just like your normal friends, you may only talk to a few each day.
You simply cannot keep up with all conversations at all times. It would require you to read a post just about every second of every day.
But you can communicate with people during the course of the day and develope friendships little by little. Just like making new friends at school or work, it does not happen instantly overnight.
Take the time to let people get to know you.
When it comes to social networking, the entire principle foundation is that you must socialize. You have to talk, post, talk, post, etc, you get the idea. It is called SOCIALIZING. See how that works.
But the truth is, if you want to get anywhere in internet marketing, you have to socialize with fellow marketers and potential customers. How else are they going to learn about you, you business, and what it is you stand for. This will allow them to determine if they want to associate with you.
Just don’t be the “uncle everyone hates at the party”.
You know what I mean. If your there to create problems, be rude, obnoxious, etc then do not be surprised when nobody follows you.
