I remember my "early" days, LOL. I still occasionally "ride", though. <br /><br />However, what I have found is that moments of doubt can lead to great moments of clarity, as it forces "you" to look at something in a way that compels you to "take a side." <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, and please say hey in the Land o'Twitter.Elizabeth Alraunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424278576626529817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-60551080862283447202009-06-03T22:07:04.449-07:002009-06-03T22:07:04.449-07:00Hello Stheryl Troxell!

People aren't happy, and are confused, and stay that way because they stay silent. <br /><br />We need to talk about things more - and sometimes it means taking a risk. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and being a part of the conversation.Elizabeth Alraunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424278576626529817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-4958249882449581312009-06-03T21:58:42.988-07:002009-06-03T21:58:42.988-07:00Hello "Saint Elk"
I love that you said ...Hello "Saint Elk"<br /><br />I love that you said you were "not here [Twitter] to sell anything other than perhaps myself." <br /><br />It occurred to me tonight, as I try to write my next blog entry, that whether or not someone is selling something with a monetary value, they are indeed selling something, as no one ever gets on Twitter to be there in isolation. It's when a dollar value is attached that people get in a whole different space about it.<br /><br />It would seem that many have their approaches and opinions, and find their way to what works for them- just like you and I have. I was told early on my approach would change, and it has. Likely it will change again.<br /><br />I always tell people in all parts of life (as a coach) to be true to themselves. It more than applies here, just as it does anywhere.<br /><br />When you are who you are, those who appreciate you will find you. When you do what works for you it is amazing how well it works!<br /><br />Thanks for your visit, comment, and appreciation. I would love to know who you are on Twitter, if you feel inclined to reveal yourself.<br /><br />Have a great night!Elizabeth Alraunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424278576626529817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-46218301481838163112009-06-03T21:31:32.128-07:002009-06-03T21:31:32.128-07:00Elizabeth,

I am also relatively new to Twitter and social media for that matter, and I have riden the roller coaster of emotion that tends to run through these forms of communication.<br /><br />There is just nothing better than old fashioned one on one talking and more important listening to the other person, but in this fast paced turbo communication, one can quickly receive mixed messages. Sometimes even when no harm or malice is intended. My Grandfather always used to say, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it." <br /><br />And I think there is a growing number of souls out there just like yourself, and I am proud to be one of them as well, that really care genuinely about people. With our combined energies and action, and last but not least, words, we shall overcome the trivial and rise to be once again an intelligent life form that can not only create Another Day in Paradise but share it with all who have open hearts and open minds. Respect, you have and always will, and please keep the fire burning:)<br />Hope to see ya one day on the Tweet-Side of Life!<br /><br />Cya,<br />RockUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647253251545700862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-56848073931797226502009-06-03T21:03:42.383-07:002009-06-03T21:03:42.383-07:00I too am a person of perspectives.

I find it very interesting when reading diffences and apply them to think bank. Another words, it lets me see both side of the fence.

I ...I really like your take on the whole situation. I have been on twitter for a few months now and appreciate the fact that there are many. many reasons for being on Twitter. Each person comes with different expectations and a different mindset.<br /><br />I personally like it that there are so many people trying to make money in so many different ways and although I am not here to sell anything other than perhaps myself, I am constantly amazed by the entrepreneurial spirit that is alive on Twitter.<br /><br />This is the ultimate democracy though. People can vote by following or not following. There is no reason to make it nasty.Saint Elkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573400393567984714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-38303393646266676582009-06-03T19:32:35.639-07:002009-06-03T19:32:35.639-07:00Dear Luna;
Thanks for stopping by, and commenting...Dear Luna;<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, and commenting. The situation with my follower really got to me (can you tell? LOL). I had to say something, and I know that not everyone agrees - but there is no where that everyone does agree on everything. I think the most important thing is to gain - my favorite word - PERSPECTIVE. A little perspective goes a long way...There are many similarities in life to the Twitter world, and vice versa, the biggest of which is everyone wanting to have a say. My hope is that it is never at the cost of those involved/affected. Be well, and feel free to give me any info about what you offer on Twitter - you never know who knows someone in your area that can use what you offer. I am happy to share!Elizabeth Alraunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424278576626529817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-80682303359422081672009-06-03T19:25:17.587-07:002009-06-03T19:25:17.587-07:00Dear "Mac" - Thanks for your comment. I...Dear "Mac" - Thanks for your comment. I agree that there are lots of grey areas when it comes to stuff like "social" media. With the way that things are changing in terms of work, I think things may get grayer still. However I totally understand where there could be disappointment, and where there could be distinct differences of opinion. All I can ever ask, or hope for, is just some R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Have a good one, thanks for stopping by, and thanks for the follow :-)Elizabeth Alraunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424278576626529817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-19567962697343077852009-06-03T19:17:31.045-07:002009-06-03T19:17:31.045-07:00Wow !! The old saying about Opinions and everyone ...Wow !! The old saying about Opinions and everyone having them comes to mind. <br />I came to Twitter in Jan/09 and have come here everyday, it has become my new TV, an interactive TV where I choose who I want to interact with, what I want to see, and hear..If there is something I don't like I will just not go there...it is the same if life. There are things all around us, NOT FOR US and we walk away from them without making a big fuss so why should twitter be any different. I have unfollwed all sorts of things selling things if it wasn't something I didnt' like, or didn't believe in.<br />The first thing you do on Twitter is find someone, see who they say they are and what they do and decided 'is this someone I think is cool, interesting, intrigues me or I get a really great vibe from' <br />If you spend time on the things that bother you, you give those things more of your energy and thus they effect your life. <br />You don't like the guy selling his buisness constantly, don't follow or block. <br />We each have total control over 1 thing, our own lives.<br />Life is a recommend...<br />from our parents, 'I recommend you don't do that'<br />to bosses, 'I recommend you sell some more product this month'<br /><br />so go ahead, tell me who you are and what you do, have an oppinion about it, but don't be mean..<br />Not everything is for everyone,<br />smile graciously and move on, unless something goes against every moral fiber in your being well then you'd have to say something.<br /><br />I can say that I've been a follower for months and I don't think I've found any negative thoughts around me :)<br />You are a positive energy source, and radiate fabulous energy back.<br /><br />See you out there,<br />and don't forget to show me <br />what you got :)<br /><br /> <br />I would promote my catsitting, housesitting services but most of the people I'm connected to are all over the world.Lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999367960465976920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168337788506782369.post-75339750109923851662009-06-03T18:27:57.703-07:002009-06-03T18:27:57.703-07:00Thanks for taking the time to write your article. ...Thanks for taking the time to write your article. Interesting perspective on Twitter and advertising. I think the grey area tends to be in the scenario where accounts with a focus on promoting their services are disguised as "regular users". If you follow Wal-Mart, expect the yellow smiley tweetting about rolled back prices, but when you follow someone expecting a social experience and instead get a sales pitch it can be discouraging. <br /><br />I try to keep my tweets light hearted and not business oriented, but I agree about everyone's right to spread the word about their own endeavors.<br /><br />PS - congrats on your 3000+ followers you just picked up another :)<br /><br />-MacMachttp://renewalclock.comnoreply@blogger.com
