I felt this to be so true. “Twitter beats the pants off of feed readers like Bloglines and Feedly” . Of-lately this is what is happening.

I’ve done a 360 as well. I hardly ever use Twitter and, contrary to the Feedly comment I made previously, I now use that aggregator to filter for content that I do want to see.

There’s still too much on Feedly, but I’ve taken the time to learn how to use it and the pages work well to segment my feeds.

TweetDeck makes Twitter bearable: I have half a dozen columns and the catch-all column is off to the right, out of sight and out of mind.

Cheers,

Mitch

For a little while, I really enjoyed Twitter, and I was able to find some new readers there. But my own experience was that a considerable number use Twitter to chat every.single.day about every.single.thing.

Keeping up with a crowd like that isn’t just tough, it can be counterproductive. And my content and promotion suffered in other ways.

Hey Bobby!
That’s a pretty cool strategy. I like how you proactively network it. I’ll bet you’re the guy at the cocktail party who doesn’t wait for people to approach him

I’ll look at the information on Twitterfox. Thanks!

Cheers,

Mitch

Greetings Mitch, this is indeed an interesting post on social media. Your mind works in a spectrum of unique amplitudes!

What I’ve done on Twitter is simply follow a load of people and wait several days, around 75% follow me back. Some people are more interesting than others, but I take a positive energy into the pool of endless bloggers – hopefully connecting with some.

I use the firefox Twitterfox browser extension as I like how it’s always there. For some reason, I have an idea for a post after reading this.

Have a great day!

Hi Martin,

I had gone on a wild surfing spree a couple of days ago and noticed that Twitter was at the center of it all. I actually disabled Feedly because it was sluggish. You would think that a browser-based tool would bring more immediacy to interesting content. Maybe it does for some people but, for me, the sheer quantity of posts on the Feedly front page is off-putting.

Perhaps that is the key difference: with social media microblogging sites, you get your links linearly; with social aggregation sites, you get your links in a massively parallel array.

But that’s another metaphor…

Cheers,

Mitch

Mitch,

I like the metaphor. Of course, I don’t have books on my coffee table (it’s too small). Twitter as the coffee table makes a lot of sense. It certainly has worked for me!

Thanks!
