@thelovelywife I Care!

twitter logoIt's not about what you're doing.
It's not about what I'm doing.
It's about what you and I are doing right now.

Like you, I didn't get twitter either. I was trying to make it something it wasn't and it's just not that complicated. 

It's about the conversation.

It doesn't matter whether it's here on ActiveRain or on Twitter. You, of all people, should know that.

Is there a lot of silly conversation on Twitter? Sure. There's a lot of silly conversation here too. That happens on social networks. It's how people get to know each other.

If it weren't for the silly conversations, the completely "meaningless" banter, you and I would not be as close as we are. If it weren't for the silly conversations, the off-topic hijacks, you and I would not be as close as we are. It's SOCIAL media. It's about being social. It's not about Google juice or SEO. It's not meant to be purely about business. It's social.

Saying it sucks without actually engaging... that's not the TLW [SVW] I know. The TLW [SVW] I know is always up for some crap. She's always up for truly getting to know someone else. She's a master of engagement. She understands how to connect on a real level. You'd rock Twitter. And I'd enjoy spending more time with you.

Twitter is about the conversation. Period. 

So, you want to have some good conversation?  I found a few people you might enjoy getting to know on a different level:

Oh, and about the opportunity crimes thing.

Sorry. I understand your point, but for those who are concerned, Twitter is safer than ActiveRain, if you want it to be. Just set your account to private and only those you allow to see it will see it. Block them and they can't follow you. If a stranger wants to see what you have to say here, all they have to do is become a member. :)

OK, did you guys know you made TLW cry? That's a very rare and very good thing. Especially when they are tears from being loved so much.

The cool thing is I get to live with her every day!! You guys are only getting a very small taste of the enormous personality that is MY Lovely Wife :)

Thanks Jeff.

I knew you would have a great response.  When I read TLW's post and commented no twits had yet commented.  Great job as always. Darn, I wasn't on Twitter today or I might have been on this list!  Still haven't figured out Twhirl

Yea, good for you Jeff, all my subtle hints were not working. Can't wait to log on to Twitter, she will be a natural. I tend to think to much about business. @gotbob says I'm too quite and it took me awhile to make etwit. What is an ftwit?

An etwit is 100 followers, 1000 twits

An ftwit is 200 followers, 2000 twits

This is a joke and we don't take it real seriously.  Not like AR points for instance.

Rob... once the post achieved it's intended purpose, the "jacking" was inevitable. :) And welcomed.

{SVW} Hubba...

I've been feeling a little down the last few weeks (family stuff) ... While cleaning up all my Google Alerts...I ran across the alert for this post. Just coming back here and reading all of it again brightened up my little world :)

Thank you for that my friend :)
