It's the perfect tool to network and forge nefarious plans. :D PS: Thanks for the follow mention. *bows down* Hah, how did I manage not to discover your blog for so long? *tud*

I mentioned Hootsuite above--a free Twitter aggregator progam. It allows you to sort the Twitter feeds into categories--authors, science news, friends, family, and so forth. Using a program like this helps you sort through the hundreds of tweets and carry on conversations with others on Twitter. It also makes sure you notice any direct messages or mentions. And Hootsuite works with Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networking software so that you can send and receive messages on all of them. Yes, without Hootsuite (or another free aggregator), I wouldn't be able to keep up. But with them, I can carry on real-time conversations with amazing people--most of whom I have never met face to face! Hey, Daneen, it’s great to hear from you!

I have direct Facebook connection to more than 50% of the Alliterates, but as I rarely separate my Tweets from my FB updates, I haven't delved deep into making extensive Twitter connections. Twitter with 300+ connections feels a little overwhelming to me.. Like a CNN ticker that never repeats. I know how to filter FB feed to sub-groups I feel particularly interested in at the time (family/authors/childhood friends). Am I missing some similar function of Twitter? hm… I have direct Facebook connection to more than 50% of the Alliterates, but as I rarely separate my Tweets from my FB updates, I haven’t delved deep into making extensive Twitter connections.
