Martin Koss – thinking out loud…
I don't mean to be so opinionated and argumentative, it's just me…
Saturation Point
There was a thread, an interesting one, on a Facebook Business Page. I had commented and I followed a couple of links from it. I went off to do something Continue reading
Twitter Ignorance – Are You Playing the Game?
Twitter Ignorance is the only title I could think of when I decided to write this post… After-all, quite frankly, what else can you call it? People ignoring people is, pretty much, what Twitter is all about. Isn’t it?
I may follow you and you may kindly reciprocate but chances are I won’t make it into your ‘faves’ list and, therefore (and completely understandably), it is extremely unlikely you’ll ever notice any of my tweets in the future.
That is the way the game is played.
Are you playing along?

Dialogue Creates Interest
It continues to amaze me as I observe ‘marketing’ activity on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn (etc) and I wonder who these people have been listening to.
Monologues; Tweeting your own links, posting your own links as status updates in Facebook and LinkedIn, but completely lacking of real ‘engagement’. What I mean by that, quite simply is: People who tweet or post updates about themselves but do not engage in dialogue.
Monologues do not draw attention to you or what you are doing!
It’s True: Twitter Users Would Follow A Bad Smell
It never fails to amaze me how so many people using all these automated twitter apps to find and follow just about anyone, will, in fact, follow just about anything.
As a bit of an experiment following a discussion about ‘how easy it is to get followers “WITHOUT” using anything automated’ I set-up a Twitter username with no picture, no bio, no weblink, nothing. Oh, and no tweets. I had one ‘regional’ keyword in the username, that’s it.
I was one of the ‘unknown’ twitter users:
But sure enough, within a few days I had followers. Continue reading
How To Lose Friends and Alienate People On Twitter
After the usual 10 – 15 minutes of clearing junk from my mail boxes and spam comments from my blogs, I turned to Twitter and sure enough, more junk. More spammy new followers and – to waste even more of my time – crapola in my inbox there too from some ____ who can’t find anything better to do than send out their own spammy self-promotional crap.
Before I get down and dirty with the post – let me just say I could have titled this post a number of different ways like “what not to do with Twitter” or “how to be a complete and utter moron on Twitter“… But, I’ll stick with
How To Lose Friends and Alienate People On Twitter
We’ve all been there. We’ve all been Twitter rookies. Heck I still consider myself a bit of a rookie with the little blue bird but I have certain rules of engagement that I learned along the way so far. Continue reading
Without Roots You Have No Tree
Building your foundations. Sowing your seeds. Planting your roots. If you don’t do the ground work, forget to do the hard work that goes into preparing for the future – how can you expect to succeed in anything Continue reading
Isn’t Twitter A Funny Old Bird
Strange as people can be I was actually very surprised what happened this morning / over night on Twitter. I was unfollowed. Ooch Ouch. No big deal right. Well, actually, yeah – no big deal. But this was odd. Continue reading
Twitter – The Absolute Basics
I just saw a new user on Twitter asking for help! The tweet was simple: “teach me how to use twitter” (I’ll assume he meant to say ‘please’)… Well, it doesn’t surprise me that new users don’t ‘get it’ so here’s the basics: Continue reading
Oh Please – Another Sexy Twitter Avatar Scam
Why oh why do these scam-artists keep doing it? I am really starting to dislike (I mean hate) Twitter. Scam, BS, Con, Trick, Spam… Is that all there is to it? Continue reading
