12:15 Nicole Sauce : i had a tweet show up on my google alerts
12:16 DaveTPPF : If you have a twitter page, it should show up on the first page of your Google search alerts

12:17 John R Graham : Where should I put the tag: beginning or end of tweet?
12:17 Nicole Sauce : You just start using # plus anything
12:18 Nicole Sauce : then go to search and look up “#tcot” for example
12:18 Natasha from NTU : statebooks.org is a joint project between NTU and ATR
12:18 DaveTPPF : www.Hashtags.org gives you a good way to see what’s already out there
12:18 beverly : Just joined twitter and am now following you, Michael.
12:18 DaveTPPF : And to collect updates to that tag
12:18 Nicole Sauce : then you can integrate the feed from that as rss anywhere

12:19 Nicole Sauce : yes beverly
12:19 Nicole Sauce : thanks
12:19 Nicole Sauce : tweetlater.com
12:20 mqs : friendorfollow.com
12:20 DaveTPPF : When our comptroller released rev estimate in January, I live-tweeted the announcement
12:20 Nicole Sauce : How do you craft your tweet language? What works best? and what is a “tweet”
12:20 DaveTPPF : People who couldn’t attend (but wanted to) could find out the news (plus our spin) in real time
12:21 DaveTPPF : Before even the reporters in the room could tweet to their pages, let alone write a blog or article
12:21 OzarkGuru : Recommend posting stories first without hashtag which sets up the feed link & then immediately edit & add hashtags
12:21 DaveTPPF : tweet = your message
12:21 John R Graham : Are a lot of followers spam-followers? I’ve picked up followers of whom I’ve never heard.
12:23 Nicole Sauce : HAve you <Type removed> how to craft messages on twitter to get more click throughs?
12:23 Nicole Sauce : tested
12:24 Natasha from NTU : hi everyone my twitter name is @naltamirano
12:24 Mackinac Kathy : Nicole- typo is cracking me up
12:25 Nicole Sauce : i get a few spam followers a day – i just dont follow them back
12:25 OzarkGuru : The more that read you twitter the better but I do block “adult xxx” followers. Just because someone follows does not mean you have to follow them.
12:26 Nicole Sauce : It’s realy cool to feed your tweets onto Facebook and your website and blog
12:26 Mackinac Kathy : How do you set it up to update your facebook page?
12:26 DaveTPPF : There is a Twitter app on Facebook
12:26 OzarkGuru : Nichole – right on Follow Me: Dr. Bill Smith @arra
12:26 Mackinac Kathy : Ahh…
12:26 TracieSharp : If you want to say something nice about NewMediaTV.org you can use #NMTV.
12:27 DaveTPPF : That will update all tweets that don’t start with @
12:27 Nicole Sauce : Do you tweet personal updates?
12:27 Mackinac Kathy : thx Nicole i wanted to ask that too…
12:27 DaveTPPF : Nicole – I do, probably more than I should. 
12:27 TracieSharp : If you want to say something nice about ME, then it’s #TraSharp. :)
12:27 Nicole Sauce : Do you send out personal tweets?
12:27 beverly : Does the # mean an organization
12:27 TracieSharp : oh great
12:28 Nicole Sauce : is it a good idea?
12:28 DaveTPPF : But I think it is important on a personal page to include some sort of sense of the real person
12:28 John R Graham : I think it’s a good idea to put a little personal touch in the mix, like on Facebook. Sometimes I’ll twee that I’m enjoying the ferry ride back home.
12:28 cs : What is the difference between @ and #
12:28 beverly : or you’re skiing some place cool, John
12:28 DaveTPPF : Otherwise, it winds up coming across as more of an advertisement than a real person
12:29 DaveTPPF : There are at least 2 people who weren’t following my political updates until they found I was a Miami Dolfan.
12:29 Mackinac Kathy : I have a LOT of people in my personal life who are not aware of the MAckinac Center or what we do.. I’ve turned a few people on to our material and events
12:29 Nicole Sauce : I get all sorts of interest in my chick hatching adventures… turns out lots of SPNers have raised livestock.
12:29 DaveTPPF : Michelle Malkin followed me as soon as I changed my profile photo on 80s day.
12:29 John R Graham : Especially for non-movement followers, people want to know there’s a breathing person behind the message, not just a crazy conservative, don’t they?
12:30 beverly : No body believes that you really run that much, Michael.
12:30 Carl Gipson WPC : Is there an SPN twitter? A place where we can all connect?
12:30 Nicole Sauce : no
12:30 OzarkGuru : Example: @arra is Bill Smith / Ozark Guru – derives from ARRA News Service
12:30 Nicole Sauce : i wasnt
12:31 DaveTPPF : Good job, MQS
12:31 TracieSharp : thanks MQS!
12:31 Mackinac Kathy : Thanks Michael! I’m following you now……

12:31 OzarkGuru : Great Job Michael
12:31 John R Graham : Very helpful: Thanks and I hope to meet you in person soon.
12:31 Natasha from NTU : thanks MQS & Nicole!
12:31 Dave Williams : Thanks! Now I need something interesting to say.
12:31 NickyCheese : MQS in da hiz-ouse!
12:31 jacqueline083 : you’ve convinced me… i finally signed up for Twitter

12:32 JLaPlante : Can you filter Sound qualty NOW is excellent.
12:33 OzarkGuru : Hi NickyCheese!
12:33 TracieSharp : I think the sound quality has to do with the camera
12:33 TracieSharp : MQS had a different camera than Nicole
12:33 AtotheK : this was helpful. thank you!
12:33 Grant Callen : later everyone
12:33 Joe : thanks everyone.
12:33 DaveTPPF : MQS has a green screen and studio lighting in his office’
12:34 DaveTPPF : Another piece of advice
12:35 DaveTPPF : Try to find some good social media practitioners to follow.
12:36 DaveTPPF : A couple of times a day, one of them links an article that really helps my understanding of trends, tools, and techniques.
12:36 Denise SPN : Izzy, didn’t you search and start following all Libertarians and end up with a lot of followers?
