Do you shop much online? I do. And I often laugh about it. I can’t tell you how many conversations I used to have with people about how I would NEVER shop online. I liked going to the stores too much. I needed to touch and feel the cotton before I bought the shirt I thought I wanted to wear. Even that thought makes me giggle because I have never really liked to go shopping. I didn’t have children yet when internet shopping started to take off. So the only shopping I could do was after work hours or on weekends when it seemed like everyone and her sister was out shopping. Way too many people fighting for parking spaces for my taste. Although, I will admit to loving being at the mall on Christmas Eve to buy presents. It’s when you get the best bargains. It’s also when you have zero time to make a decision and are forced to buy a gift. Maybe that’s why I loved shopping then.
I know a lot of people having babies. While my kids are 5 and 7, I remember fondly the anticipation of waiting for each one to arrive. We got lots of fantastic baby gifts either at baby showers or once each baby arrived. All of them were loved and appreciated. What we didn’t get was a birth chart. I’d never heard of them until recently, and now that my kids are a little older, I can definitely see how they’d be a fun gift for parents to be.
Your Twitter Following is Not What Drives Your Twitter Success.
Twitter is a fun Social Media platform. In 140 characters or less you can permanently imprint your thoughts on the Internet. Google indexes each Tweet as its own unique page. Yes, Twitter can be a powerful tool. But the truth is, it’s only as powerful as the people listening to your Tweets. Having hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers won’t mean squat unless some of those followers are actually listening to you.
