Every time I'm writing about Twitter and attitudes on Twitter, I'm a little upset, or compelled to write especially because something upset me. Things like: bloggers who beg to be followed on Twitter claiming they're good at advising people, less than ordinary people on twitter who begun by making friends with everybody and after awhile, seeing that they reached a certain number of followers, proceed to massive unfollow almost everybody with a few exceptions of some celebs who never ever heard … [Read more...]

Yes Baby, on Twitter!
I just couldn't resist to show you President's Obama interview on "60 Minutes", which is hilarious. Actually, this post is about Twitter. No, no, no, I have to re-formulate. This post is about Twitter, again. You see, I'm trying to get some networking done here, without the "Social Network", and it's growing and growing baby. Facebook is good for lazy people, man. You push some buttons and everything is automatic, who's your friend, who wanna be your friend, who you shoudda be friend with, it's … [Read more...]
More Twitter – Part Two
Yesterday I was a little rushed to publish opinions regarding cheap and disastrous advice from great marketeers, and I have to recognize I was a little bit vulgar myself, trying to be "cool", I don't know why, because I really don't use in the real life certain words I used yesterday in the post. I don't change much, anyway I'm going to think a little more if it's going for something to be changed or not, in the next hours or days... I want to apologize and repair a little the image … [Read more...]
More Twitter
I have never really liked the kind of blog posts with titles presuming advice, kind of "21 things to know before you... blah blah" even if I considered some of them of high utility, especially the ones with the name of a certain brand, tool or whatever interested me at the time in it, after the designated number of things I presumably had to know. Of course I've appreciated a few, by commenting on them or tweeting about them, but they represented always a turn-off for me. I know and I heard that … [Read more...]
The Social Monster
According to critics and various comments, The Social Network depicts an aggressive and unscrupulous Mark Zuckerberg, who stole ideas and has no respect for his friends and associates. It is suggested even that he framed Sean "Napster" Parker, to kick him off from the position he acquired. The book the film is based on, The Accidental Billionaires, is less aggressive regarding Zuckerberg, is decent when expressing the characters’ view, and is biased toward Eduardo Saverin, who, as mentioned in … [Read more...]
Twitter Conduct
I'm not an expert on Twitter and I'm not going to repeat here things written by renown Social Media experts or scientists, like Dan Zarrella or Pete Cashmore. I know, I should put some hyperlinks on the names and stuff. I'll put here, to a name I became to respect profoundly, courtesy of my Social Media and IT mentor, and that is Seth Godin, the founder of Squedoo. I've seen blog posts giving advice about Twitter from people with a few followers, seeming to be spammer themselves. No links, … [Read more...]
