Tweeting The Content of Others on ActiveRain--Better than Reblog

The AIG fiasco has been the focus of much opinion and emotional conversation.  My nephew posted a thought about it on his Facebook page and I made a quick uninformed comment.  My niece (his sister) responded with a lot of interesting points about what is really going on.  Shortly after, I read AIG is just a Smokescreen! by Katerina Gasset - a well written and informative view about the reality of what is going on with AIG and the bailout. 

I was sure my niece would enjoy reading it and posted a link on her Facebook page.  The ActiveRain logo came along with the link - showcasing ActiveRain.  My niece commented on the link saying it was excellent and with all her friends who read her page, Katerina Gasset's post received more attention.  My niece is also on Twitter and tweeted the link.  All of a sudden it dawned on me-why didn't I do that-like reblogging?  I don't have a large amount of subscribers on AR so I never use the reblog button.  I subscribe to many of the top bloggers so I figure everyone has already read a post.  But the same doesn't hold true on Twitter.  I am always looking for stories I think worth tweeting and often retweet my favorites.  

Having seen the light, I went back and tweeted a link to Katerina Gasset's AIG post.  There is a wealth of information on AR that I can share with my followers on Twitter.  That morning I had also read a very funny post by Brigita McKelvie on Curtain Rods and tweeted the link.  For those AR bloggers on Twitter, this is a great way to share each other's great posts and create traffic to ActiveRain.  It would have been interesting to track Katerina Gasset's statistics to see if they increased.  So, let's make a habit of tweeting our favorite contributions of our community and create more traffic to each other's blog-not to mention sharing the wealth of content here on ActiveRain.  We love Google juice.
