Finally, I found the information I was looking for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for two days I keep finding websites that are supposed to have what I am searching for, only to be disappointed with the lack of what I needed. I wish I could have found your web-site quicker! I had about 30% of what I needed and your site has that, and the rest of what I had to have to complete my research. Thank you and I will report back on how it goes!

You know, someone should write a book about this… oh, they did, lol.

People’s need to do things “right” is only overcome by their need to be recognized at all…. Some want (need) the “good job”, others thrive on the “what were you thinking?, but I DO like it”…

@eric….I would have laughed. hard.

@drew…i hear ya! It’s personalities, but not only that, if someone if passionate about something and they want to shout, and get more people to their site, then shout! Do whatever you want! You get what you put out. :)

This post captures several of my own thoughts on social media. Sites like Facebook and Twitter cut through the insincerity and ambiguity of cyberspace. They provide us with the tools necessary to connect with others and have real, meaningful relationships. In my opinion, that is the purpose and value of social media. To rely on rules instead of being genuine renders it worthless. It’s our personalities that separate our tweets from everyday SPAM.

For me it’s not even so much about rules as it is about form. That type of heading/subject is lazy, and it’s just bad form. It shows no creativity whatsoever and doesn’t make me inclined to read the post.

Nice work. Funny, I had just tweeted a similar sentiment, and a friend sent me a link to this post in response. We must be on a similar wavelength this week.

I’d say way to go, but that now seems way to compliant. Good stuff.
