However, I am concerned that all authors retweet only to other authors. How should be use hashtags to break out of the circle?The Aquabloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012517864249324205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212961869656221548.post-70857348670689698572011-09-22T11:35:28.989-07:002011-09-22T11:35:28.989-07:00Excellent intro!

As with all ...Hi Mirka, and thanks for stopping by.<br />As with all types of social media, you'll need to decide for yourself whether spending the time and effort meshes with your personal and professional goals. Twitter's a great way to connect and keep an eye on what's happening with people you want to follow, but it can quickly become overwhelming. Using lists and hashtags can help you manage it.<br /><br />Whatever you choose to use (twitter, facebook, google+, blog, etc), if you decide to use it for networking and marketing, it will become very important that the content be regularly updated, which can be difficult for some people. It's one of the resons why I'm bringing in another writer to share the burden on this blog. :o)KJHowewritehttp://www.kjhowebooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212961869656221548.post-55791414589209298492011-09-10T10:42:55.268-07:002011-09-10T10:42:55.268-07:00If I was leery before, now I’m downright terrified...If I was leery before, now I’m downright terrified. <br />Nine months ago I took the website-plunge.

They're really very dynamic tools, changing almost daily, some getting dropped while new ones are added. But they can really help target your tweets and identify others' that are useful to you.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!KJHowehttp://writersroadtrip.blogspot.com/2011/08/proper-care-and-maintenance-of-twitter.html#commentsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212961869656221548.post-69196725731684915742011-08-31T19:02:11.557-07:002011-08-31T19:02:11.557-07:00Hey JB,

I get that way every morning just logging on to my account. You just have to resign yourself to the fact that it's like watching a school of anchovies passing. Every once in a while you catch a glimpse of an individual fish, but for the most part it's a blur. The hashtags help.<br /><br />I hope you're still trying to get STORY FOR A SHIPWRIGHT published. I'll be the first to buy it!KJHowehttp://writersroadtrip.blogspot.com/2011/08/proper-care-and-maintenance-of-twitter.html#commentsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212961869656221548.post-59011812350017994792011-08-31T16:43:39.803-07:002011-08-31T16:43:39.803-07:00This is a great explanation.

As soon as I say the word to a non-Tweep, I get odd looks.
