‘10 Twitter Agendas – What’s Yours’? was published by @snowvandermore. 

She did a good job of summing up the different kinds of tweeple. But, truthfully, she did a better job of making fun of everyone (other than herself) than really defining a purpose for Twitter. 

She pointed on the people who are just on Twitter to get a date, versus the twitter giants who have a million and one followers, news publishers who tell us what is going on in the world, and my favorite the “Combo Meal” which she defines as “achieving total Twitter nirvana” which is basically a mix of all the different Twitter agendas pumped into one 140 character message. 

A lot of what she said was true… most Twitter users fall into this category: “You establish a comfortable group with whom you have regular conversations, albeit in 140 character segments. It’s fun, entertaining and you manage to pump up each others’ egos one tweet at a time. They read and comment on your tweets and blog posts, and vice-versa. You feed off of one another and there is little risk involved.”

Who is she forgetting? 

Those of us who strive to use twitter in the most effective way possible for its “social media optimization” purpose of “generating publicity through online communities.” We are out there to build relationships, yes, but in a more profound way: achieving success with the holistic method of combining our personal lives with our business lives with every other vision and passion that drives us.

Twitter is a place to bring all worlds together – while having an agenda! 

For those of us who fall into the “forgotten” category there is risk involved. Relationships. But its worth it.
