In my opinion, the examples I cited weren't a waste of time (or bandwidth) in the eyes of the giver and receiver because they helped strengthen their relationship with a simple but thoughtful tweet- it's this that makes the whole online experience more "human." Of course this can take place via DMs, but sometimes it's nice to share it where others can see it. Whether or not that's your concept of a valuable Twitter experience is entirely to your discretion. True, Twitter profiles and feeds are often set to be public, but you don't have to consume any tweets from people who you find irrelevant or overly gratuitous. Melissa - better late than never! I'm touched that you dug the post. I agree - it's about engaging your followers- talking *with* them, not just at them. Thanks for the kind words - and happy holidays to you as well!

This is a wonderful post. To really engage with your community, you have to do so much more than just talk about what YOU are doing. I hope that more and more people embrace what you've said & make Twitter even better than it is today! Happy holidays, my friend!! Lauren: so sorry I’m late to the party! This is a wonderful post.

What I hear you saying is "Keep the human touch" in your Tweets, even if your objective is to Network with business friends? If so, I have been teaching my Agents that very philosophy since 2006, when I found Twitter (FB Too). Nice to know I am on the right track, thanks for the validation!

This, to me, is what makes Twitter so appealing and slightly addictive. It's the interactions! The humanity. The warmth. I can find news anywhere. But it's the people, always the people, that make this worthwhile. To be included in your list of "seriously beloved twitterers" makes my heart do a happy dance. I am cherishing those words. What a lovely, lovely post from a truly lovely woman. Thank you! Kat Lauren, this is beautiful. This, to me, is what makes Twitter so appealing and slightly addictive. It’s the interactions!
