#B2CTweet Retweeting and EasyRetweet Twitter Chat and Party ScheduleTwitter Chat and Party Schedule All times shown in Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT), the same as New York, NY, US. This will change to... --------------- Featuring: --------------- --------------- Your Hosts --------------- --------------- The Chat: --------------- Welcome to another Chat, at our normal 3pm EDT slot every Wednesday. I hope anyone seeing this tweet fly by pops in because retweets and replies on Twitter do NOT work the way you THINK they do! Did you know that if you click REPLY that ONLY that person will see your tweet unless someone looks at 1 or your profile pages? So if you want to maximize tweet or RT reach do NOT click reply or mention and start tweets with anything BUT usernames! Yes, but putting a . at the beginning of tweets does NOT work if you clicked reply as we found out last week! True. Always want to get the newbies involved and help them MT : A1 but some new Twitter users may not A1: A manual retweet is proceeded by "RT " & can be edited. It is shared with your followers like a tweet you composed. That is another reason I love and others do, too - because you can easily edit retweets. No one I have noticed uses MT - but maybe I just haven't paid attention to that. Have you tried yet, Brad? All the feedback I get = love it! Brad Is there only one Twitter app or do you recommend a specific one for RTing? I have the app, too. I find myself using the Official Twitter app more. It even let's you manage multiple accts easily. A2 I feel like I am able to "see" results better with the manual RT. It creates opportunities for further engagement. I use , as well. I like the option, even on my , to manual RT or *normal* RT Ok so the iPhone Twitter app you like is the official Twitter app? Hello Jeevan Glad you could make it!
Glad to be here :) Can you guys tell me what today's topic is? Thanks:) The Twitter App notifies me whenever anyone retweets or favorites my tweets. Those are easy to miss. It's why I mainly RT manually RT : Ok so the iPhone Twitter app you like is the official Twitter app? // yes We are talking about RT during our 3p chat and then, specifically, during the 4p party/giveaway Enstine's new plugin makes it easy to add call to actions, ads or offers into your blog. http://b2ct.me/OuKvtN Net Want serious Twitter influence?

RT : Another reason to take time to interact is to increase productivity and accomplish more by sharing tips RT : Another reason to take time to interact is to increase productivity and accomplish more by sharing tips Agree, Gail. Interaction is the key (sometimes, networking can be more powerful than content and marketing combined). I have to admit that I like for micro-minute scheduling. has 5 min incr. But, I'm weird :) RT : Another reason to take time to interact is to increase productivity and accomplish more by sharing tips Hello I hope you'll join us - all are welcome to throw out comments, tips, questions. LOL that is weird Deb You want your tweets to the minute. 5 minutes not close enough? hahaha Brian Clark says our social media networks are "Content Delivery Systems". You need multiple RTs for it to work well. I know. I seriously AM weird. I have to agree with you. LOL Serious marketers and bloggers know that one tweet is not enough, but many are afraid to schedule more Twitter may filter out duplicate tweets so key to success is unique tweets and/or sending them to specific people. Like that MT : Brian Clark says our social media networks are "Content Delivery Systems." That is weird, Deborah ;) Getting too paranoid about scheduling and timing tweets? ;) Top recommendation I've seen is to schedule at least 3 unique tweets about the same thing per 24 hours A4 Twitter Chats, using tools like Also, regular use of and RT : I wonder if tools like count MTs as RTs ? I hope they'll let us know.

RT : As you get busier you will find out that YOU have to reach out & stay in touch because everyone is so very busy. RT : As you get busier you will find out that YOU have to reach out & stay in touch because everyone is so very busy. And, as well as are great tools to "point and click." In many ways, they do part of the thinking for u What I do is just restrict most of the networking to a group of bloggers (for others I don't spend much time). RT : Key to success: we have to reach out to those most likely to be interested so they "see" us w/o us being annoying. Hi Kahla Welcome to Twitter chat. Feel free to comment, offer ideas, ask questions. All are welcome. Yes eventually we realize it is relationships of depth that make a difference instead of zillions of followers Jeevan in "restricting" do you mean Twitter Lists? Like, so you only "see" certain tweets in the stream? No, I mean I focus on networking with just a certain number of bloggers :) Next week, on , we will talk about Twitter etiquette and ethics.
