Reading Spirituality's post about Twitter at her SquidTop blog got me to thinking about how we Squidooers could get more out of Twitter. While I do believe that Twitter is not for marketing per se, I do believe that Twitter is the perfect way for Squidooers to connect with and help each other.I propose that you follow as many Squidoo Twitterers as you can find. This link may help. Hopefully, the Twitterers you find will follow you back, thereby being the makings of a great Squidoo community on Twitter.
Here are some ideas for being a Squidoo Twitterer:
- Twitter your congratulations to someone for receiving a Squidoo award or some other recognition.
- Twitter the lensmaster when you have found a typo or some other glaring error on their lens (using Direct Message so only he or she sees it).
- Direct Message (DM) some information that you believe will add to the quality of someone's lens.
- Twitter a blog or link find.
- Ask questions.
- Answer questions.
What do you think? Besides promoting our lenses to each other and the few ideas I just wrote about, what are some more benefits to following Squidoo Twitterers? How can we help each other -- through Twitter -- to be better Squidooers?
Great post! I'd suggest using the Twitter bookmark on lenses you like (not just your own) to share great lenses with the Twitter community. Mention why you're reading the lens. Bring a lensmaster some unexpected traffic!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. Twittering others' lenses is an excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your post on Twitter asking if we had seen the new lensmaster page. Now, that's community! ...In fact, I had not seen it. ...Yours looks great: http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/susan52
