Communication has come along way since the days when communication was done over a garden wall. I do think of what I write when replying to someone tweet but I've never looked at in a way that you've described. Great post. Hi Brad, I can laugh at your post.

Public tweets really should be pointed at many rather than one as often as possible.

Thanks. I love your process of T-W-E-E-Ting. One final check I use just before hitting 'send' is: Think: Will EVERYBODY Enjoy This? ... aka the TWEET test. All groans aside, given that your tweet stream is potentially read by ALL of your human followers, it's important to stay as valuable and as relevant to this wider group as possible. Better to use direct messages for tweets that exclude the majority of your followers. Best to you, Brad. Robin Hey Brad, excellent post. Thanks. I love your process of T-W-E-E-Ting.

One final check I use just before hitting ‘send’ is:

Think:
Will
EVERYBODY
Enjoy
This?

… aka the TWEET test.

All groans aside, given that your tweet stream is potentially read by ALL of your human followers, it’s important to stay as valuable and as relevant to this wider group as possible.

Better to use direct messages for tweets that exclude the majority of your followers.

Best to you, Brad.

This has been so useful I'm sure I'll be returning to re-read your advice every time I'm stuck on a post. Also great examples Brad, they back up your points exactly.

I always look forward to checking in with you and our other Twitter friends. For me that's usually the beginning of the day and a great way to start.

Does that mean that we consider tweeting as a means to cheer us up, to send energy over the web rather than negative vibrations? There are moments where I don't feel like sending energy over, but then either Robert Hruzek or Karen Swim or Brad Shorr are doing this (or Barbara Ling), and then I feel how my energy sources refill again. Great, isn't it? You made me think about keeping negativity out of tweeting.
