@hendrylee I'm thinking of more article about measuring social media activities, but leaned toward local case - Toni @ NavinoT

Great... I'll try writing several articles if time permits next week. I'll focus on how to first. - Hendry Lee

don't... they will delete your account. you are talking about corporations here? or real business? How is it that Hamas and Hezballah have a twitter account and somehow twitter thinks I am more dangerous? What a joke this twitter network really is. - Noah David Simon

Hey.. what can I say? I was left speechless. I don't understand how Chris has all this information flowing. ALL THE TIME. - Kyle Lacy

24/7: Chris Brogan's brain: Open all night. - Kyle Lacy

Noah is right. Corporations are not business. This might be better used for the government of China. twitter is not good for small business. - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁

I completely disagree. I have gotten business from Twitter.. it is about authenticity and creating relationships.. not spamming. - Kyle Lacy

The problem is most small biz owners have yet to learn how to communicate via social media.. they can learn though. - Kyle Lacy

time time time... small biz don't have the time... Chris Brogan mentioned large corporations. your point is moot Kyle - Noah David Simon

and solo act too, Noah. But Kyle, if existing strategies that you are familiar with work for you, then fine. Otherwise, I don't know there's other options but to go out from the comfort zone and learn. - Hendry Lee from twhirl

I see a lot of uses for social media.... but it is not advertising and PR. ....education, entertainment... even employment bonding... but promotion is not best here... unless you can really overburden a scene... and that is very very wrong. as for a mom and pop biz... they simply can't get iJustine and Veronica to gee golly wiz the little guy. I'm an artist... and I have optimism... but artists are small business people... and for the most part... this social media experience has been a fail. - Noah David Simon

if anything this experience has hurt my reputation... I would never recommend doing this unless this is what you want to do full time... twitter is unforgiving and libelous. - Noah David Simon

that isn't to say that it is bad here. I mention iJustine... who is nice enough to leave my drawings on her facebook profile... however... in the long run promotion here has been a hole in my time. this is an incestuous mono-culture. There is no place for any free thought... or persuasion. - Noah David Simon

if anything social media is a very efficient brain washing tool. Resistance is futile... you must support this cause or you are blocked and no one reads your comments. it is frankly a sad interaction... and experiment in mob tyranny. The worst aspect of a niche market. Twitter is going to go down in history as a social experiment that made people very miserable and lashed out at the people who put their time into it. ...it remains to be seen if something better can come along.... - Noah David Simon

somehow I have a feeling that what takes twitter's place will not have the kind of zealous idealism that twitter had. the whole idea of free expression failed when twitter left a hole open for @panopticons. free expression and retweeting no longer were legitimate. they crucified the questioner. - Noah David Simon

free will in an infrastructure is not a good archetype. the inherent nature of socializing will test the lines... so now we know we want structure... and once that enters the equation then it is no longer social like life itself. online interaction is inherantly built on training wheels... (those training wheels better not be business promotion) - Noah David Simon

btw... I mention free thought and persuasion... the only reason I'm getting away with saying this is because you probably agree with me. it isn't that twitter isn't for big business, but rather that is inherently a mob tyranny and perhaps big corporations are natural to this ecosystem. Why encourage it? It is not good at all. - Noah David Simon

Is it okay to mix business with the personal on Twitter? My fed agency doesn't have a handle on how to use socmed tools, so I've just been exploring them on my own. I view it as 50% devoted to my personal life and 50% devoted to promoting the NEA and the arts/culture in general. Does it discredit the NEA work that under the same handle I twitter about which workout videos I'm currently... more... - Paulette Beete

@Paulette- I say yes. In fact, it's required. You have to be human. - Chris Brogan

Paulette twitter is perfect for a government agency. That is why twitter accepts terrorist governments like Hamas but not artists like myself. I would keep your personal maintenance to yourself as a rule of thumb. BTW I just farted. - Noah David Simon

@Noah small biz do not have time because they are confused on how to utilize the tool. - Kyle Lacy

Kyle the way to use the tool is through group peer pressure and intimidation. "mom and pop businesses" just don't know who to do that well. so I guess we agree Kyle. If they knew how to intimidate and humiliate any self interested individuals then they wouldn't be small business, they would be the Democratic party. - Noah David Simon

haha. touche, Noah, touche. - Kyle Lacy

Thanks for sharing, nice suggestions and ideas. I'm going to tweet this ☺ - Patty

I'm not sure I like being right this time - Noah David Simon

Tremendous post! At the end of the day, there is no question that Twitter optimizes communication-and what company does not want to optimize their communication channels at all levels?! - Harold Cabezas

Chris: Love your ezines & your 50 ways to use twitter article. You might want to check out the twitter article I posted at http://tinyurl.com/5q33h4 - I appreciate you! - http://twitter.com/gfb3 - Girard Frank Bolton, III.

Nice article, Chris. These are all great ideas to help promote the use of social media throughout business. I think the most important barrier to adoption is the fact that Twitter is a major distraction...IF you allow it to be. However, if you use it at your own pace and under your control it can be quite a useful tool. Cheers, AL - Al Bsharah

Thank you Ed...Though I am stuck with a PC only. Not sure what my options might be now? I don't have to use the same software he used...just something that get's me a similar effect. Video along with view of computer screen. Thank you! - Michael Roberts

Camtasia is the PC equivalent (but not quite as elegant ) but there are a few open source screen capture video options. - Allison

younger brother of Camtasia, SnagIt, way cheaper,and I love it http://www.techsmith.com/screen-... - kitmiller

Allison is right on as usual. I'll do some snooping, but I have a vibe that Techsmith will do another give away of older version, like the way their product launch formula for V5 was give free versions of older with an upgrade coupon. It was huge for them. Very smart. Will post any news. - Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct

Does anybody know of a linux alternative to Screenflow? Probably there are not may linux users in the #30DC though... - Jorge Blanco

Not personally but Sourceforge would be the place to poke around Jorge - Allison

Last time I check, you should be happy if there is something that is as powerful as Camtasia, there is one with less features available in commercial one. If I could find something in Linux, I'm switching back in no time! :) - Hendry Lee from twhirl
