I gotta say, George, LJing your Tweets, which are Tweets of FB posts, but have a hyperlink instead of content, just looks like you can't be arsed to write medium-specific content and have nothing original to say, which I know just ain't true.

In fact, it's one of the BIGGEST ways you lose followers/friends/etc. in a particular medium. I know this article is written with the business users in mind, but it really applies across the entire spectrum of Social Media users. This article is even amusing.

Sweet mother of pearl I had no idea it looked like this. Sheesh. Thank you Karen, I'll have a look at the article

[dubael]

I am convinced, thank you Karen.

You're welcome

Yep, and my desire to have it all on one page is defeated by the 'burnout' of it being repetitious, or worse, incomprehensible jargon

I think it's better to post here and have that cross-post to FB than posting to FB and cross-posting that because as you have seen FB gets fugly in the cross-posting.

However, for Twitter, some cross-posting is ok, but you really have to see Twitter as an enormous party where you may know a handful of people, but anyone walking by can hear and join in on your conversation. Twitter is similar to a chat room in that regards; where it differs is that in a chat room, people are usually drawn by a common thread of conversation, whereas in the Twitterverse, any one can literally stumble on your post. And no one wants to be or hear that guy who always references things you have to go somewhere else to understand what he's talking about.

Interesting, because for some reason, I have been getting a lot of 'followers' some are just the obvious 'I'll follow them and they'll follow me and then I'll have lots of followers' which I frankly never understood. Then there are the types who either have something in common with me, or are interested in something I am interested or posted about. There is a slight difference. Masons fall into the first group, activists into the second. If they have something I am interested in hearing about, I'll follow them, otherwise I limit myself to following people I know personally or people who interest me, be they celebrities like Neil Gaiman and John Cleese or leaders, movers or shakers in their field of interest/expertise like John Durant of http://www.hunter-gatherer.com/ and melissa mcewen of http://huntgatherlove.com/... )
