Ok so I have Twitter - but I still Feel Out of the Loop!

By
Real Estate Agent

How do I put theTwitter widget on my blog? How do I update my Twitter from my Blog? Why can't Canadians do Twitter SMS'ing on THEIR cell phones? :-(

                                                                                   

How do add someone I see I want to follow......ie....I was just reading Lisa Hill's Twitter on the sidebar of her blog.........but there was nothing there for me to push to 'follow' or to comment.........

Now I've gone to the FAQ and the HELP sites on Twitter - but I must be THICK because I still don't get it!

And if people comment to me.........how do I know? lol........Crazy eh?........

I keep getting e-mails saying I have new followers........but where do they come from and how do they even know about me?.....

Sigh...........so much I don't know still.....

                                                                                      

  After all the helpful hints and links I thinking I'm finally starting to get it! So here goes!

I have seen many Twitter posts but I don't recall seeing the dead bird.  I assume you now have all your  answers but if you need help just send me an email and I will see what I can do to help you out.

Liz, It's like I told someone on here...can't remember....but this is a social network that would have been great for me when I was a young single professional in San Francisco.  I would go out at night and meet people with my friends at all of the really, "cool places".  My best friend was very popular and knew all of the hot spots.   Boy, we would have twittered ourselves crazy, and would have known where everyon was before we were there!!!   Back then we had to do it manually, on foot!!!   LOL   This is not for me now as I am either working, doing housework or out somewhere not all that intersting.....And having people follow me now would be a bother to me.

HI Liz, I am not reading all the comments so if it has been said, forgive me. Do not put Twitter on your cell phone. It will drive you nuts. Just log on when you have time, and chat for awhile.

If you have a Word Press blog there are numerous pluggins you can use.

Liz - I am doing a series of posts here on AR about Twitter basics (read VERY basics). I don't want to highjack your post so I won't ad a link. Posted part 3 yesterday. 

There are settings on twitter you can tweak - so you don't get e-mail everytime somebody follows you. I have set mine so I only get e-mails when I get a DM.

If you have any questions at all (before having the pow-wow with Jason) feel free to contact me. ~Rita

Liz - wanted to add that sometimes even when people say follow me on twitter @kennarealestate (for example) they do not make that a link - maybe the forgot??? if that is the case, just time on the browser window http://twitter.com/kennarealestate (or whatever their usename is). Rita

Hi Liz, My hair is down but I have become more private and don't want some stranger to have access to my personal info.  I got an e-mail from a potentially wierd person on A.R. already.  Unidentified but wanted me to call at 2:00 a.m. to discuss business.   Yikes....I e-mailed him back and told him that I could only help him if he was a serious buyer....Never heard from him again.
