		<description>Thanks, Margie.  The personalization tips are especially helpful.  Even those of us on Twitter for business purposes need to remember it&#039;s still SOCIAL media, and our messages need to open genuine doors as to who we are, not just to what we want.</description>

		<description>@Heather Seeing the replies to others is definitely a great way to find people that share your interests.  However, once you hit critical mass, you just have to shut it off.  There is no way I can keep track of all the people with whom I communicate on twitter if I have to constantly click on other peoples&#039; feeds to find out what they are talking about.

And the point is: the setting is there for a reason.  You may want to see all those replies and that&#039;s great, adjust the setting appropriately.  But, please encourage people to follow the standard so twitter works in the way it was designed.</description>

		<description>Great post! Interesting how many people don&#039;t want to see replies to people that they aren&#039;t following. I find that the best way to discover new people to follow! The people that I like are often talking to others that I would like (and I would miss that if I didn&#039;t see those tweets). Just a thought! 
I agree whole heartedly with the top 5! Promoting definitely doesn&#039;t belong there! Many people who over promote (IMHO) just aren&#039;t aware of how detrimental that is to them and their brand (yes everyone has a brand.you have one, whether you mean to or not!). I blog about this often! Too many people try to apply the &quot;old ways of marketing online&quot; to new media, and it just doesn&#039;t work! The culture is different, and therefore so are the &quot;rules of engagement&quot;. Lastly, to Bonnie and others who see no redeeming value in twitter, I would say &quot;you&#039;re following the wrong people&quot; and &quot;you get out what you put in!&quot;. I have met my favorite authors and speakers (in person) including my all time idol, Zig Ziglar, thanks to twitter. I&#039;ve met dozens of amazing people who have changed my life and my business and gained clients, speaking engagements and more via twitter. But again, you have to make &quot;significant deposits to get significant returns&quot;. Focus of giving and creating value for others 1st, and you will be amazed and what you will receive!
thanks for the post!</description>

		<description>So far What I think of twitter...Just noise.  Multi-level marketing and sales pitches.  Have not had one morsel come my way worth keeping.  Nor have I built a single relationship as the posts are announcements thrown out to the wind and not conversational at all.</description>
