I was especially guilty of automated tweets - frankly I am super busy and the automated tweets allowed me to minimize my Twitter time. Unfortunately it also turned people off (I discovered one long-time follower had unfollowed me for that very reason) and, while I still schedule a number of tweets (usually links to others' blog posts of interest to my field as well as links to my own new posts, and inspirational quotes [I'm in nonprofit development & believe that those folk need all the inspiration that they can get]), I've cut down on them considerably & spend some time every morning and afternoon in direct interaction. <br><br>I would, though, love to hear your thoughts on efficiently maximizing the benefits of Twitter without being a Twitter addict ... :) Another excellent post – I continue to learn from you, John.

I would, though, love to hear your thoughts on efficiently maximizing the benefits of Twitter without being a Twitter addict … :)

As for Bowling Alone, I was forced to read it for school and it was one of the larger books we had to read that semester. Again, thanks for the post. I’ll try to check that one out.

I came late to the party but I'm learning. I hope I've added value to a few people already. I'm a picture book writer and have been looking up "picture books." I added one writer who thought she was twittering to herself. She was thankful. I added another who added me in return who runs a book club. She asked a question about picture books and I provided my answer. I've replied to a few others hoping I was adding value. Who knows? Again, thanks for your help. By the way, have you ever read the book, "Bowling Alone" by Putnam? Talk to you later, Brian Hi John,

Talk to you later,
