Hello Diana

Is there a big difference in these
weetDeck, Seesmic Desktop or Hootsuite
if so do you know what? I’ve tried brizzly
when it was in beta and now I’m using Hootsuite.
Doing the filtering thing is great.

Thanks for another great blog
and family is the most important thing.

I realy like your good enough outcome! Can you create the sample essay as example? Because I know that a good custom writing service can write custom essays of prominent quality.

Thanks for this post, it’s important not to let it take over your day. I’ve definitely found Tweetdeck useful when it comes to filtering out the information I don’t want to miss.

What a greatly genuine article. It’s easy to feel unsuccessful with only a few followers and a too much information to keep up with. Being genuine solves all the anxiety of becoming a power user as who wants to be a leader and not be yourself.

You’re quite the gem, Diana! Not just with your easy-to-follow steps to ease off on Twitter, but also with your list of 10 people to engage with. That’s something I really suffer from on Twitter. Although I am pretty new to it (like less than a week) and I have already 170+ followers, but most of them rarely reply back or show interest in building a relationship. Which is a shame because Twitter is supposed to be a “social” network, and how social are we if we don’t even talk!
I retweeted your post and will shortly be adding your list to my following, and you of course =)!
Keep it up.

hi Diana – great post. come to think of it, always great content from the bitrebels authors.

i’m certainly no veteran when it comes to twitter, but what’s funny re: your list of who-to-follow is that i shortlisted about half of those people in my “must follow” Tweetdeck column on my own!!

(you forgot to put yourself on that list though )

filtering is such a huge component of not burning out; there’s no way any one person can expect to keep up with the tweets of thousands of others. especially since my teeth are already white, and i don’t use creatinine =)

HI Diana

thanks for the information – having just found tweetdeck and loving it I have now got the opportunity to start responding to some of the people – so now I am working on the relationships it makes things even more interesting.

Thank you for the sage advice. As luck would have it, I installed TweetDeck yesterday in an attempt to stop Twitter from appearing like an unceasing slot machine. Twitter should be fun; a happy place, as you put it. I shall try to remember that.

Hi Diana,

Thanks for a very informative post. I’m still struggling with Twitter a bit…would like to filter out the gibberish and really build more communication. I’ll take your advice and look into an app like Tweetdeck.

All best wishes -

This was a great post Diana. I also use Tweetdeck and have it on all day. It is very difficult to stay focused on my work without giving in to the temptation of clicking over to check out the latest tweets!
Thanks for helping me make my Twitter a “happy place” again

Hello Stuart,

The correct username for Staci is @StaciJShelton. I’m so happy you followed them, I’m sure you will be pleased with that decision.

Cheers,

No doubt, Twitter can be overwhelming. I go back and forth between making a serious effort to engage there and going days between tweets. I guess you could call it burnout. One thing for sure, it’s self-defeating!

Your number 1 point, filtering tweets, is something I’m going to try, beginning today. There are people I want to hear from that are getting lost in the noise. Too much noise makes it difficult to build relationships with the right people!

Great post. I agree with you: Twitter is fun, but my family comes first. I will shut down the computer to play with my son too.
