Anyone out there who's trying to get retweeted knows that it's harder than you think - sometimes the tweets you most expect will get retweeted don't, and you're left asking yourself, "What's so great about that guy's tweets that they get retweeted all the time, but mine never do?"There are three factors that I think determi (Read More)
: I am just starting on Twitter - and mostly because it's apparent that I'm the only person in the world who isn't Tweeting! :-) I haven't run into the why-am-I-not-being-retweeted question yet, but I'm sure that I will so thanks for your timely and helpful article. I will refer to it when the time comes.
: These are great tips. I also think it is good to have followers that are interested in your subject. Again, small is better if it is focused and targeted.

: Hi 5 Rhonda ... I like the way you offer this cool advice here - I had in my mind you have to be passionate about what you do on a daily basis to earn your daily bread so its easier to find some one you no who does what your passionate about better - and have them mentor you to their standards saves time saves the trouble saves money in the long haul to success - โIf you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.โ By Zig Ziglar
: Hi Rhonda, they say, "the hand the hand that rocks the craddle rules the world". Good mentors and coaches are like good mothers. They nurtur and teach the right way for their youngsters to go. It's all about leaving a legassy of hope. Thanks for the insights.
: Yes, it is tough to find a really good mentor. A lot of what I have seen is that many (at least in the IM niche), are really only interested in furthering their own presence or authority, and not really that interested in truly helping and mentoring. It's certainly is nice when you really do find the helpful one's out there though.

: So how do the hard working folks keep the new liberal president and the largely democratic senate and house out of our pockets. The one thing that we cannot afford is 12% unemployment, 12% annual cost of living increases, tax rates doubling accross the board, etc that has been seen when liberalism runs rampant. So where does the small business man go when the mandates that our new president says he will pursue makes it impossible to stay afloat and we die, along with our employees joining the unemployment lines..... We can only hope that he is a smart as the "majority" thinks he is and he does not play the stupid card.

Social Media is everywhere these days. In the past 6 months, I must have signed up to dozens of social media sites, used them once or twice and then abondoned then to the box of neglected toys. The onslaught started slowly. We made friendster/MySpace/Facebook profiles, some of us started personal blogs, we got digg, del.ici (Read More)
: I would venture to say that what is noise to one may in fact be signal to another: personally, I get tired of slogging through all the tech feeds to find the 5% that are useful for work and perhaps 5% that interest me personally. But then again, that's what I've got Yahoo pipes for: to help me filter the noise before it ever gets to me. Don't see why one couldn't go the same route to filter, say, an unwanted Twitter follower.
: @nigelwalsh @isthisstupid Merge them and filter them when you do! I like the notion of a signal to noise ratio, and I also remember not to pigeon hole. Some fool might be mostly noisy (mostly cloudy?), but as the good Bard has helped us to know: often the fool says the most profound thing.
It's possible that the one signal from a noisy "friend" might surpass the many signals from a guru.
