The Facebook status update used to be a bigger problem. Now it doesnt update your status with Replies, so at least it moderates it a little bit.

Excellent article, thanks!

Regarding your point about twitter and Facebook, I have found that, for me, the best way to easily update both at the same time is to ensure that both accounts are cell-phone enabled.

This way, you can send a single 140-character text message to both twitter and facebook and update both at the same time!

Further, when you tweet / update this way, it is much simpler to realize when you are using tweet-speak that does not apply to facebook.

i.e. Thanks to @JessiO for retweeting a link to this article!

Happy tweeting everyone!

Since I work at home, I kind of view the people I Twitter with as my office mates. I’ll have conversations with them. I’ll post interesting links, just like I’d e-mail a co-worker, and I try to get to know people and keep up on news.

@Share,

I think a lot of people sometimes forgot what brought them to where they are in the first place. Heck, I even sometimes have to remind myself as to why people follow me. I’m even thinking of putting some Post-Its on my monitor to keep myself in line.

I think the whole question, “What are you doing?” is a bit outdated. Maybe that’s what Twitter once was, but it’s changed so much now.

Good point about staying positive. In general, people like to be around positive people. Although in my industry, staying positive is hard to do.
