Subscribe to the Hip & Sage feedI am not sure that Twitter is a good use if my time. I am still using it, but I question whether I should continue. Here's why. There are a few clumps of types of twitterers:
Meta twitterers - people who twitter about twitter. These folks tweet a lot. This is not of interest to me.
Quote hustlers - people who publish quote after quote hoping to get re-tweeted. I like some quotes and I RT (re-tweet) at least one quote daily, but this is not what's most interesting.
Marketers - people who are tweeting to get you to visit their blog, site, conference call, book signing, etc... Most of it has to do with making money online or SEO and is not very interesting to me.
Micro-bloggers - people who write blog-post type stuff, but the posts are 140 characters or less. These folks are often looking for a conversation - a response and then an exchange back and forth. These micro-conversations are fun and this is my favorite kind of twittering.
And there there are lots of folks who are hybrids of these.
I am finding that the meta-twitterers, quote hustlers, and marketers are drowning out the micro-bloggers. Perhaps I could control this by how I subscribe and unubscribe, and maybe I should be better at this. But there are a lot of combo hybrid twitterers and many of my conversations get started there.
What to do....... As I said, the vote is still out. My hope is that this is a place that I can build some relationships and have a few interesting conversations. Those are my only expectations and hopes at this time.
Even if I ultimately stop twittering, it will have been a great learning experience and fun. No regrets at all. Need to stay on the learning curve!
Her advice to me was to work harder.

Oh Lance!
This was amazingly beautiful! When my step dad left my mom she took her anger out of my sisters and I. She would literally joke and say she was not the mama. That truly made us feel abandoned, but I've always had God and my sisters.
This was an excellent post!

If you're in the corner and have got no cash to get out from that, you will require to receive the credit loans. Because that would help you for sure. I take car loan every time I need and feel myself great just because of this.
