But you are right the flow is lost on Twitter and I really hope we can get it back =:)
.-= LaTara´s last blog ..What’s Your Approach To Business Part 1 =-.

We have to make a decision to keep doing what we’re doing because that’s positive exposure — if no one is responding, remember, ‘they’re the one’s who aren’t participating’, it’s definitely not you

I’m like Alice Seba, when she says If Email Marketing Dies, I’ll Eat My Shoe, — well I say, I’ll eat mine too when social media no longer exists

I have been having a love/hate relationship with twitter for this very reason. A lack of participation. I often times feel like I am connecting to myself. It is like a giant meat market where people try to find the best deals and the marketers try to bait them with the right hook.

I had to disassociate myself with a lot of my followers because they talked at me and not to me.

I can get on some days, ask folks how they are doing or what is going on in their world but get absolutely no response. I can even reply to something someone says and they say nothing back.

I try to reply to every mention I get because I feel it is important to connect and not to feel as if only some folks tweets merit a response. I personally think that is tack y business and it turns me off.

Ok ok, let me shut it up because I can go on forever.

Thanks for bringing this topic alive Regina!
