twitter helps you make connections
I made a few connections this week. Using twitter, I managed to get in touch with people who are actually very nice and good to know. This is good news. But I now have a problem. Where to next?
You see, I have this thirst for new connections, and the current resources I use (twellow.com, Twiends.com), while good and useful, just don’t fill the gap. I need followers. Lot’s more. I need people to find me and, well…like me.
People you want to know
Why? Well, it’s nice to meet up with people online and share a joke, or some ideas. This week I have managed to make a connection with three excellent people. When I say ‘excellent people’ I literally mean people who are excelling at what they do. They are making waves, and are definitely people worth getting to know. Everett Bogue is one of them.
This guy is cool. Seriously cool. He’s got a blog that featured on ProBlogger’s ‘47 blogs to watch’ piece. He’s interesting, we can talk about stuff, rather than hawk our businesses, and he’s producing very readable content on his blog. You will hear more about him on this blog shortly. I like him. I think you will too.
Twitter enabled me to develop this connection. Twitter allowed me to send quick, focused messages that Everett (a busy man) can reply to in seconds. When two like-minded tweeters link up like this it demonstrates what twitter is really for.
What twitter does
For some people it will always be about cash building systems and the latest, keyword-stuffed blog post, but for others it’s about sharing ideas, or just staying in touch.
Twitter allows you to create and build communities first, not customers. This I now know, so I’m making it my business to get involved in more twitter search and directory services, which should help build more amazing relationships.
I’ll keep you posted. But for starters, if you aren’t on Twellow yet, get there quickly. If you want real relationships that go beyond business, it’s essential.
Until next time, work smart.
