Social Media in Plain English

Earlier I shared a great video on blogging. Then I explored the source web site, the Common Craft show. I found another great video on Twitter, a social media tool I heard about at a technology workshop hosted by MicroCredit NH, presentation by Kevin Skarritt, Acorn Creative.

What I like about Twitter is limiting messages to 140 words or less, a challenge for someone who likes to talk too much regardless of the medium. In fact I'm trying to learn to respond to email in 1 line or less, to keep up with volume approaching 200 emails/day.

I've signed up (tina_4walls) & sent my first "twitter"? Looking forward to hearing about your doings on Twitter and please, your comments and ideas on other great social media tools is always appreciated.

This short video will get you started.

Fantastic Video Explains Blogging

I just found an incredibly good blog with a simple, yet comprehensive description of blogging. I also think it's important to share with you how I found the video:

• Attended the Portsmouth chapter, 4 Walls 1 Roof member meeting on Wednesday
• Donna Rattee, a builder and realtor shared tidbits from an "online marketing" class. The instructor was "Monika McGillicuddy," and she said google Monika!
• Explored Monika's blog and found this video. I decided to learn how to include it here and soon, on My Handyman and 4 Walls 1 Roof web sites.
• Enjoy this terrific blog from Lee LeFever, the Common Craft Show
