This weekend Alissa and I attended the first Podcamp in Topeka Kansas; it was at the library and was hosted by David Lee King. You can check out his notes from the Podcamp Topeka, which has a pretty good outline of what we talked about. We were using the #podcamptopeka hash tag; and there were about 50 people from across Kansas that attended. 
I helped lead a discussion on how to setup your Facebook and Twitter profiles. I also talked about some of the tools I use, like ping.fm, and Tweetdeck and how it helped me manage my networks. I’m looking forward to the next podcamp, as well as interacting with all the great individuals I met at the podcamp. Social media is such a great thing, it’s really important that everyone at least try to take a part in it if you are interested in meeting others who may be interested in the same topics you are. If it wasn’t for Twitter and Tweetups, I wouldn’t know half the local individuals that I chat with every day. I’ve never really been had an outgoing type of personality, but Twitter and facebook has really changed that. It’s not unlike me to go up so a new person at these events and just start talking to them. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Twitter is Important to My Business
If you are an online business owner, your first priority after developing your vbulletin-services/” target=”_blank”>product or service is to find the people that will make your business a success. Marketing your business is a huge task and Twitter can help you immensely in that regard.
If you are developing a plan to marketing your business or you are in the process of doing so. It may include article marketing, social network marketing and viral marketing. In the social network marketing section, you should focus on Twitter.
Twitter is more than just a site for keeping up with the status updates of everyday life. Sure, you’ve heard that celebrities and others tweet about their dinner plans, vacations and pop culture but those same people can be hearing from you about your business.
Twitter is a micro-blogging type of forum. You can talk to anyone who will listen to you. It’s the quickest way to get people interested in new product offerings, contests, prize giveaways plus much more.

How do you follow so many people on Twitter?
How do you follow so many people on Twitter?
I get asked this all the time, I’ll try to explain what tools I use and how I can possible listen to thousands of followers at once.
Here is a quote I overheard on the net; which is better, someone following 10 people with 10,000 followers or someone following 10,000 people with 10,000 followers. I say the second one and here is why. I learn so much from the users I’m following and I chat with many of them every single day. I’ve been able to get several great job leads and have also been able to help out many users with the information that I know such as vBulletin, SEO or Managing an Online Community.
Twitter has turned into the new google search for me, if I don’t know something I’ll ask on twitter before searching for the answer on google. The reason why I like searching twitter is because than you can talk to people who are actually using the products or scripts that I’m usually asking about. This may not work for everyone but it’s been very helpful for me.
Twitter is a great way to see breaking news as well like the plane that went down in the Hudson; there were pics on twitter before any news station was even on the water. How could this of happen if it hadn’t been for the power of Twitter?
Okay, so I said I would explain how I manage all the people I follow, so I might as well get started on that. I already posted a video in my last update “The Twitter Addiction” on how you can use Tweetdeck to follow 15,000+ people; I’ll go into a little more detail on how I use Tweetdeck and other Twitter applications.
