: So, how do you envision tags working in Twitter? We'd have to select tags for every Tweet, or something that would happen automatically?

@tsudohnimh "Tags" sounds very folksonomy whereas you're describing something more curated.

:
@Thechannelc I only respond to a DM if I need to. I will reply to a direct question even if only to say I don't know, as I like to be polite. However, I only follow a very few people by SMS, so I don't see tweets when I'm away from my computer, unless I scroll back thru them, and I don't usually have time. I DO see DMs though, as Tweetdeck puts them in a separate column.

: If someone was Guy Kawasaki I wouldn't expect a reply but here's what's interesting, Guy replies! If there's someone who deserves the badges he's giving out, it's Guy himself. He kicks ass.

I know we don't have to follow everyone back but I do it anyways and I'll DM new followers. No answer in 1 week = goodbye. Come now, atleast say "hi".

Are RSS Subscribers Worthwhile if they Don’t Visit Your Blog?

ProBlogger “Why do bloggers put so much focus upon growing RSS subscriber numbers to their blog if most of them only ever read your content in Feed Readers and don’t visit your blog?”This question (or variations of it) hit my inbox 3 times in 24 hours from different people so I thought I’d tackle it as a post i (Read More)

Josh Miller,

: I'll probably post a similar comment also actually on the blog.

This article does a good job of pointing out why RSS subscribers are good. Especially in point 4. There are a couple of types of bloggers at work here. Bloggers who hope to make money from their blog 9generally through advertising) and those who just want to push conetnet and influence).

You can actually be bot of these at the same time.

Anyway, I prefer to push people to subscribe to my blogs on RSS. I have a few ads I've never made money off of but I'm also not interested in making money off of my blog. I'd rather have every visitor continue to receive my content through my RSS feeds than try to coax them into returning for a later visit.

What did it promote? NADA, Nothing. This article hits the nail on the head. The company preached teamwork, while we had a place to include group projects all that mattered is what "I" did. This was with a top 10 Fortune 500 company. Rather, WAS a top 10 Fortune 500 company......duh

@brilliantjeni Delete only helps a little. Even when you delete a tweet, it still can be searched from search.twitter.com. Also, there is no way to recall the tweet that has been delivered to all those 3rd party apps that your followers might be using.

@Nishith - yeah too bad search.twitter.com is CURRENTLY DISABLED, don't integrate your twits into the various social aggregations. creating social silo's comprised of different audiences manages the impact of unrelated/unnecessary twits/material to a minimum - seems the olds like to turn technical glitches into an ethics debate
