Interesting that “twitter bombing” comes up in the comments, and I had to unsubscribe to Hugh’s twitter feed because he posts *so much*. =[

Brilliant man, I just can't keep up with him! =]

In fact, I think all marketers would benefit from maximizing the cross-promotional synergies of blogs, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Magnify, Utterz, Seesmic, , and all the many social networks out there. Hey and let’s not forget off line expression. Be creative and build your micro brand (or macro one!)

what’s your take on the magnify, seesmic, revver & other video channels (particularly the Youtubes, mediaseed, myspace goliaths).. and how competitive will they be? Are they going to cancel each other out? will just a few take over ? will they evolve to make it easier to take content: video, audio, text, photo to the web and even from mobile. I see a lot where they are talking about getting there but who’s gotten there and doing a good job with it– ie, making it user friendly — not just geek friendly

Jim,
It’s selfish, with a capital “S”…just kidding.

I gave up after a while cos of twitter overload too.

I think twittering once an hour is ok, but it’s some of the folks (many of whom who are my good friends) who fire out 5-6 twitters in 5 mins who kinda “twitter bomb” my page.

Why not come up with a “Twitter management” checklist on your blog? Or maybe throw out some roots for a Twitter QS algorithmn?

Is it selfish to just use Twitter to broadcast my thoughts and not read everyone else’s tweets? Because I quit twitter for now because it was too much for me to keep up with.

I fully agree.

Keeping the conversation going can become pretty challenging, especially if you’re constantly putting out high quality content.

I’ve found that if you’re doing non-specific/non-event based posts, you can probably work on them way in advance of publication.

It does take some commitment to block out those hours to work on a week’s worth on a (hopefully ) lazy Sunday afternoon though…

Hey Andrew. I would agree with this categorization. It is microblogging..actually even uber-micro. My blog posts are usually on the longer side (or at least take me longer to write). Tweets take me seconds.

If you are marketing yourself or a product, it is important to have regular communication with your customers. I believe in keeping the conversation going. All I meant is that if one of these channels goes silent for too long, it is a lost opportunity, IMHO.

Thanks for all your great energy and comments!

Keep them coming!

Best,
Stephanie

Twitter’s a form of microblogging isn’t it?

Perhaps you’re saying that you’re shifting from long form blogging to micro blogging?

I wouldn’t commit to a technology or a channel for the sake of keeping to a schedule.

Rather, these are tactical level tools, and if they fit in with your strategic plans, then use them, if not, there’s nothing wrong with letting something idle and picking it up later…
