Mack, this post is as relevant as the day you wrote it – almost 2 years ago. Many of us hadn’t been on Twitter for 30 months in mid-2009 and in many cases hadn’t even heard of it at that time. I just started my account 6 months ago.

My favorite thing on Twitter is to promote other people’s work. I have tried engaging in conversation but it seems that the majority of people aren’t really interested in that. I get the occasional reply back when I do comment to individuals or ask a question to the broader Twittosphere. Still trying to figure out what I need to do differently in that area.

Anyway, thanks again for a useful post!

It always amazes me at how many people don’t realize how similar online engagement is to offline. The principles are the same, only the methods are different.

Mack -
The delight of twitter, for me, is simple:
Communication.
I love to listen as much as I love to talk.
Engagment is what I value in those I follow. The only way I can have a conversation if we’re both totally “there” –
I love the tweet mechanism of “being there in 140″ -
If you’re not there, where are you?
Right. You got it.
Love #blogchat – thanks for it and a lot more…
Wayne

NOTHING is worse or more transparent than the old “Here’s my take, what do you think?” followed by another outgoing message that makes it clear the writer doesn’t really care what you think, he just wants a lot of @’s.

Sadly, nothing is more common, either.

It takes time, in my experience. Oh yeah, I thought I’d been around Twitter for a while, turns out it takes some more waiting around.

For someone like me who hasn’t done much to acquire fame, getting love on Twitter asks for a heck of a lot of investment. Time is one of them, the other is speaking up or replying to tweets in helpful and/or meaningful ways.

That’s how things are working for me – and it’s not exactly an express train
