What Is This Twitter You Speak Of?
So what is Twitter and how can it be of benefit to you or your business? Twitter is a free online micro-blogging application which gives you the ability to send out short messages (up to 140 characters) called “tweets” to people who are following you on Twitter. You can send tweets either through your computer or by using your cell phone via a text message. These tweets/messages can be about anything you want and they can include links, as well. Making Twitter even more useful is the ability to send a direct message to someone you are following (this is done by entering @username at the beginning of your message) or replying to someone’s tweet with your own. You would be surprised how common it is to reply to someone’s message then to have someone who is either following you or the person you sent the reply to reply to your initial message and so on.

People can follow you and your tweets by first signing-up for their own free Twitter account at the Twitter site then adding you to their list of people they are following. Once you have created your account, you can either check your Twitter page (your own personal page which appears after you sign-in at the Twitter home page) for any of your friend’s new messages or you can send out your own. But it is much easier, in my opinion, to use one of the many online or desktop applications which give you the ability to do all of this and more.

Twitter As A Communication Tool
Twitter is a quick and easy way to communicate with family, friends, business associates, and also within a company setting. Being an online service, Twitter is available to anyone with online access. All you have to do is login to your account through any number of third-party applications developed for Twitter or through the Twitter site and you are ready to go. Within a company setting, employees could have a Twitter account created for them with the option to have their messages protected. This means only people they (or you or the person in charge of creating the Twitter accounts) approve will be able to send and receive messages from them. The same thing could be done using an instant message program but with Twitter, there would be no software to install and it would be accessible from anywhere with an online connection. Additionally, the person who is in charge of the Twitter accounts will have the power to control who is and who isn’t part of this private Twitter network.

Even though there are tons of online communication applications available, Twitter can also be used as a way for people who are collaborating on a project to stay in touch with one another regardless of where they are. And depending on which third-party application they are using to Twitter with, these conversations can be saved for future reference. There are even some third-party apps which you can use to send files up to 10MB to anyone you are following as long as they are using the same application, that is. Still, a handy feature to have and one which may become a feature of Twitter if there’s a big enough demand for it.

Marketing With Twitter
Here in lies the great thing about Twitter from a business perspective: the marketing potential it offers users. Sure, it is great to send messages and chat using Twitter, but it can also be a great marketing tool if used correctly. Have some breaking news you want to get out quickly? Send it out as a Tweet. Made an important update to your blog or web site? Let people know about it instantly with a Tweet. Want to promote your project, book, movie, whatever by giving away a free download or preview? Send out a Tweet with a URL to the free download. Only want to market something to certain individuals you are following? Simply enter their username preceded by the “@” and you are set.

Another simple marketing tool available with Twitter is the ability to befriend people who are following someone you already follow. While this practice could backfire on you if you begin to add everyone you find following someone you are following, be picky and just befriend those who either share similar tastes that you do or work in the same field as you or already follow many of the same people you do. Otherwise, you could come off as a spammer which will be a hard image to shake.

Twitter Now And Beyond
Twitter represents a fundamental change in the way people communicate online. There have always been instant messengers and they have their place and purpose but they don’t offer the one thing which sets Twitter apart and that is the ability to instantly communicate with either a couple of people or potentially thousands without the need for proprietary software. No need to download this piece of software in order to communicate with this person or that organization.

Much like how blogging has become a staple of today’s society, Twitter and “twittering” is on the same path to becoming ingrained in today’s culture despite only being around for less than two years. So simple in its execution, powerful in the marketing opportunities it offers, and ease of use, Twitter will be one of the top web technologies to gain worldwide prominence in 2008.

Picking up girls from Facebook isn’t as hard as you may think. Actually – it’s quite simple if you know what they really want, and if you stop acting like a desperate neandertal monkey that didn’t have sex the last decade. Just because she accepted your friends request doesn’t mean that she actually wants to be with you.
I can’t believe how many of you guys are acting like total douchebags, basically begging girls to go out with you. And even after she blows you off several times, you still keep on boring her out of her life… until she just deletes you. Oh, no – then you keep on sending her messages anyway. I really can’t believe how low some of you guys can go. You really need to end this stuff. And start with something new.
Start with something that actuallly WORKS for a change. Yes, it’s possible to pick up hotties from Facebook. I personally do it every day, actually – THEY are chasing after me. How? I could write an entire book about it, and I did. But I’ll give you a couple of tips anyway.
1. Stop HARRASING girls
Yes. Stop boring them out of their mind with stupid questions and messages. Why would she answer personal questions when she has no idea who the hell you are yet? Instead of offering yourself up to her as if you were a piece of crap on a plate – turn things over. Stop chasing after her, and try to get her to come to you.
2. Be patient and calm down.
If you act as if you were a hungry dog, you won’t be eating anything. It’s repulsive. Girls hate guys like that. Just chill and be cool, don’t run after her. Instead, try to figure her out – spy on her a bit, figure out what she’s like as a person, dig out some information. It’s always better to go armed then to just “jump into battle”. Believe me, preparing before starting a chat is very important.
3. Forget about the number
Look, if all you’re doing is running around hoping to get her number, then, you’re probably going to end up with nothing, or – you MIGHT get a number, but she’ll never answer. The number shouldn’t even be an issue. Just forget about it. If she sees that you are trying to get a date and are aggressive about it, you end up looking desperate again. On Facebook – everything is about your image. You have to learn how to make an attractive Facebook profile that will bring her to you, then she may end up offering up her number herself.
Later,
Tony

Flirting on Facebook

It seems that facebook is a more practical place to meet singles as opposed to some of the free and paid dating sites. Instead of some fabricated profile that may or may not be true, you have the real personality to view in day to day interaction. You also have references in the form of facebook friends. What dating site has this? So how do you turn facebook into your own personal dating site? It starts with broadening your friends network and a little facebook flirting.

You have to remember, friends have friends who have friends that have other single friends, brothers and sisters. The broader your network, the greater your chances are of finding romance. The broader your network the more opportunities you will have for flirting on facebook.

To flirt on facebook, you pay attention to the posters and commentors. It may not be the poster that gets your attention, but someone commenting. Toss in your own comment. Make it funny, witty and humorous to get the attention. The more you interact with friends and friends of friends, the bigger your playground for facebook flirting will become. The friend request will come. It does not hurt to make a few friend requests of your own either. What do you have to lose?

This process may not go along as rapidly as it could on a real on line dating site, as it will take much longer. Think of it this way. The wait creates anticipation and the anticipation creates a stronger attraction and bond. Flirting on facebook may not bring instant gratification, but it certainly increases your chances for long term satisfation.

If you can send a flirty text message, you can surely practice some facebook flirting. If you are not skilled at sexting or sending flirty text messages, there are tons of resources out there to fine tune your skills, take advantage of them. Facebook flirting is fun!

About the AuthorI am a single woman very active on facebook. I have experienced first hand that the dates do happen here. I have also seen many others hook up on facebook.

Seduce Girls Easily

Facebook is a great place to meet and seduce hot women. Lots of them. It’s not even as complicated as if may seem once you arm yourself with the proper information. The first thing you need to figure out is what do you actually like and what kind of women do you want to attract. Knowing what you want is the first step. Most guys make the mistake of either spending all day on Facebook and being unable to pick up the signals from girls that are interested, or they are chasing women that are not interested. That is why their relationship status keeps on saying “single” for years.
Here are a few essential things you need to know when it comes to picking up girls on Facebook:
#1 – Your Profile is Your Marketing What you are doing on Facebook is selling. You need to sell yourself to women. When I say “sell yourself”, I’m talking about good marketing. Some girls may take a look at your profile, and they can usually decide within seconds whether they would even accept your friends request, let alone go out on a date with you. You need to learn how their mind operates first and foremost. Take a look at your profile – what’s missing in it? What are your weaknesses? The first thing she sees is your profile, before you exchange one sentence, she sees your profile. That is where everything starts, or finishes. Learn how to create an attractive profile, everything else is easier from there.
#2 – Hungry dogs don’t eat I know this may sound too direct, and it is. If you act like a hungry dog, desperate to be with someone. You’ll get nowhere. It’s not attractive at all. It’s just desperate and lame. So before you even try to talk with a girl on Facebook, think about what your actions speak. Even though Facebook is in a virtual world – still, you HAVE actions. And your actions will always speak louder than your words. So look at your actions, and make sure they are not desperate.
#3 – Stop being negative There are too many guys out there that are throwing out their negative energy on their keyboard. Stop doing that. You shouldn’t argue with people on Facebook. Especially not with women you don’t even know yet. Facebook is like a big spying mechanism. Most of your actions can be seen by other people, so watch your actions – because women will judge you by them. A negative person is usually negative because things aren’t going the way he would like them to go in his life. And that is not an attractive guy. You can learn how to seduce girls on Facebook, you just need the right information and some practice.
