]]> Comment on Some Observations About Following People on Twitter. by Ryan Stephens http://www.dmfreedom.com/2009/05/some-observations-about-following-people-on-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-503 Ryan Stephens Fri, 08 May 2009 16:11:55 +0000 http://www.dmfreedom.com/?p=761#comment-503 All great points, and I seem to have a relatively similar approach though admittedly getting over 100+ a day it's tough so synthesize just what you'll be getting. a lot of times I'll take a quick glance and make the decision. I'm lean on lenient at first and then if I get bombarded by a bad grouping of tweets I might unfollow later. I think the main thing is that everyone uses the tool differently, and we should do what works best for us. Sharing that makes sense, b/c what we do might work for those who have a similar disposition, but there's not right or wrong way. Follow back everyone who follows you? Follow only the people who provide you immense value? I don't know what the answer is. I probably follow a few more than I would like, but it just seems like the courteous thing to do. I certainly don't gauge social capital on the # of Twitter followers, but part of my job is often getting out messaging for a client. Having more followers means potentially having more reach. That's something I have to keep in mind every time I think about pruning my followers down to < 500. Thought this was a good post that provides your new followers potentially landing here good insight into your approach and who you are. All the best!

I would just add that people shouldn't be forced to follow someone who decides to follow them. Each one of us has different interest domains and objectives while using twitter. I decided to follow you as I'm involved with sponsoring in motor sports but I never posted anything about it on tweeter so it would be useless for you to follow me (I personnaly avoid overspamming my tweeter account). Cheers, RR Hi,

Very interesting post.

]]> Comment on Twitter Won’t Last – But What do I know? by Ryan Stephens http://www.dmfreedom.com/2009/04/twitter-wont-last-but-what-do-i-know/comment-page-1/#comment-489 Ryan Stephens Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:56:38 +0000 http://www.dmfreedom.com/?p=731#comment-489 Interesting take David. I definitely think that there are valuable uses to Twitter. I think some people will take advantage of the platform and use it in a tremendous way. I'm not even opposed to celebrities using it to take control of their messaging and engage fans in a new way. To delve into the realm you and I often think about sports, who does it well besides Shaq? I'm not yet sure anyone does. Most celebrities and big brands will use it to broadcast their messages. Worse yet, hundreds of thousands of people will use it to auto-follow thousands of people they can sell their crap info product to. Brutal e-marketers, wack real estate agents, etc. will use it all the wrong ways and cause infinitely more noise than signal and the early adopters (the people using it the right way) will disperse to something else. Jeremiah Owyang has some good insights on some of these notions here: http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2009/04/19/what-happens-when-twitter-gets-mainstream-attention/ Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog today!

I do adhere to every single word you said in response to the articke in Yachting world Blog. Unfortunately I doubt the Yacthing world's author will answer. What is really dead is the old manner we used to approach the yacht racing. In the time of crisis the world changes so we ought too. The Yachtsponsorship site is one of the good moves that I believe will halp the racing to blossom. The only thing for countries like Ukraine is the language: not many people speak and read englsih. I do some times the translations of the articles published on the Yachtsponsorchip. Would you mind that? What an amazing optimist opinion!

Change or Become Irrelevant. by Chris Dick http://www.dmfreedom.com/2009/03/a-tale-of-two-pr-companies-change-or-become-irrelevant/comment-page-1/#comment-22 Chris Dick Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:58:26 +0000 http://www.dmfreedom.com/?p=665#comment-22 Nice post. I think what is really interesting is how traditional media is using web 2.0 and social media, such as the papers. I wonder what proportions of their efforts will go in to their traditional channels and new technology in say 5 years. Even more interesting will be if they are still the main voices of the news.
