Re: BarCamp Nashville 2 - Microblogging: Fast, Fast, Good, Good

Twitter has helped our company baby-step into blogging. We're getting ready to launch a new website that includes a blog. Our boss had us practice blogging with Twitter first. Everyone has an account and is encouraged to post at least 3x per day.

This approach has been really helpful to me. On Twitter I can start a seed of an idea, then when I want to write a longer blog I can look back at my posts and see what's peaked my interest lately. It's also helped cut down my fear of blogging. Putting my ideas out there, even in micro form, has helped me see that it's not such a big, bad scary thing.

I also like Twitter's ability to update my Facebook status. I can kill two birds with one stone there. It's funny, though, my non-Twitter friends think I'm on Facebook all the time. I'm not sure if that's good or bad??? My friends seem to like it, though. They feel very up-to-date on me. I guess that proves its social function.

Wow, Josh, you ARE a busy social networker. I can hardly keep up with my social networks, and I only belong to four! I look forward to hearing more tips on battling SNF from you.

This is a great post!

The only thing missing is my #1 pet peeve about Facebook: TMI wall posts. Some people just don't know when to direct message/email you vs. leaving you a wall post.

Any suggestions on how to tell offenders to use the wall appropriately?

Patrick—you have some good ideas about using the right words to make your point. But I don't think that excludes the use of an exclamation point. Strategically placed, the bang adds value. In fact, I see a few exclamation points on your own home page ... must have seemed like a good idea at some point. :)
