@conpsweeney Fortunately, same theme, just not what was already in the house... lol #SocialCafe Fortunately she loves to cook & bake (& is good at it!)
@akathmadevi@socialcafechat Good one, @akathmadevi ! I'm so glad you said that. And, it is so true. Some of the greatest things/jumps in life have been the result of what I learned from failures. #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@socialcafechat and how can I forget that! I am in that phase now, reminding myself this too shall pass. November has been hard on me!! #SocialCafe
@akathmadevi@socialcafechat I think that is one of my top 10 favorite quotes (this too shall pass). Amazing how many times that helps. Another one is "It is what it is" (not sure why that works for me). #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@livewithkayla Now if we only had those.. what are they called? Transporters? That would be a quick way to one place.. though, I wonder if the atoms would realign #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@socialcafechat my another favorite and which keeps me moving - "I am not permanent here. So, just enjoy everything whatever it is" and all the philosophy around it. #SocialCafe
A2 Thankful that our #SocialCafe numbers were 6 million, compared to 4 million the week before that. Hey numbers excite me, even math, Algebra.. :) #SocialCafe
@livewithkayla@conpsweeney You know what would be cool is if we could plug in changes we wanted, like lose 10 pounds, instant tan.. and pop out the other side with a couple of changes ;) #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@livewithkayla Sure.. Tho the tiniest of dogs, my chihuahua "Tiny" thinks he owns the entire backyard, so watch out for Chihuahua licks a.k.a. kisses in the middle of the night as he wiggles through the tent door.. #SocialCafe
@livewithkayla@conpsweeney I can actually imagine that, Kayla! That is a great idea! And, all the live hangouts, Facebook Live.. man, the sponsors would make out and so would we! Great idea! #SocialCafe
And, with that, we are wrapping up our 30 min #SocialCafe. I'll still be around if anyone tweets, but officially our 30 min #SocialCafe has reached lights out here.
Next week, we have a survey for what #SocialMedia topics you'd like to cover in 2018. Usually, we focus on one per month, all aspects, and dig in deeper #SocialCafe
@livewithkayla@conpsweeney Welcome, Nelly! Yeah, Tiny likes other dogs, but he pretends like he doesn't, initially. In reality, he is one of the most social dogs.. so I'm sure he'd love Nelly. #SocialCafe
@livewithkayla@conpsweeney That would be cool (Big dog & little dog). I'm not sure about siblings. We got him from a rescue after his owners died. But, he had a lot of girlfriends at the rescue.. lol #SocialCafe
@livewithkayla@conpsweeney Oh, I wish I could.. lol Other than the rescue worker showed me pictures of them all crawling into Tiny's bed with him.. oh, that sounds kinkier than it is supposed to sound.. lol #SocialCafe#Chihuahua#WhatTheyDo
@livewithkayla Oops.. it helps if I pay attention to what tweet is a response to what other tweet.. Oops... Bit coin.. Hey, we should have that as a focused topic for one of the #SocialCafe chats.. how about that?
Ok - I promised a Survey Monkey survey (redundant, wasn't that)... but there seems to be technical difficulty, so I'll ask the questions here, instead. #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney What do you think about, say, a focus on Instagram monetization one month; LinkedIn monetization another month; Pinterest... etc. ? #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe Possibly, but I think if we start with the theory & practice of monetarization for social first then follow with the channels it might be more useful #socialcafe
Q2 Which categories would you like in 2018: social media; monetization; blogging; entrepreneurial/business; other ? #SocialCafe (I think we may have answered this one.. lol)
@conpsweeney Ah, so more of a business approach on the mechanics and then insert the #socialmedia... I like that! Yeah, I think you sort of answered Q2, Con #SocialCafe
A3 I like the 30 min format for the "meat" of the conversation with maybe a sort of after chat pub mentality for the final 30 min for those who want to hang around afterwards... #SocialCafe
Q4 Do you like when we have guests on the chat? Or, is it one of those things that is nice, but you can take it or leave it? Or, do you really dislike it? #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney - I was thinking of having the prerecorded interview (like we used to do) and maybe show it in the second 30 min and tweet while watching. That way, people can leave after 30 min chatting or stay... what do you think? #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney I'll start working on that... #SocialCafe (And if there are any VA types out there who would like to help... Also, possible intern credit at colleges)
I once interviewed a gal who set up her blog to have interns and they would get college credit. I think it is a great idea. Maybe we should add that to our topic list. What do you think? #SocialCafe
Ok - well this has been a great chat and very insightful. Thanks, Con (and all you lurkers). See you next week and definitely in 2018! The "original" #SocialCafe (circa 2012)
@conpsweeney Thank you for the thank you, Con :) It has been my intention, for how many weeks (years)? Hey, what is intention without action..? #LinkedInChat#SocialCafe
Shhh... Con doesn't know this yet, but I think we should put him on the spot tonight during #SocialCafe | Why? ...because he is one of the smartest, wisest guys out there!
Seriously, though, anyone can answer this question, so we will add our "Q" to the tweet to open it up if someone else wants to add their wisdom #SocialCafe
@MAGAGunslinger@PMgeezer Apparently, Twitter wants to destroy itself with its censorship. Coming Dec. 18, 2017. HELLO gab.ai ... #SocialCafe next to be created?
@Kathrynclang The idea of censorship is an interesting one.. I'm curious who decides on it and how far? I mean, we allow #fakenews and #cyberbullying but there could be #censorship in other areas? I wonder where the line is.. #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney I agree. Unless someone has unlimited funds (or a desire for unlimited power), is there a need for another one? re: #socialMedia platform/network #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang That's a good one, too, Kathryn. It is like, YouTube has been done.. Podcasts have been done... but that seems to mean we get hungrier for audio and video #SocialCafe
Related to what @Kathrynclang said about audio and video, I think we will see more Wordpress plugins and more affordable rates (or medium level) #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney So, a person can make someone cry or hurt them (i.e. #cyberbullying ) but don't make any money feeding your family... #SocialCafe (and then allow those who have to pick on those who have not... continuing the #bully cycle)
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney It's a crazy world - only made crazier through the ease and availability of social media :( #socialcafe - the best we can do is try to add positive from our side.
@conpsweeney I wonder, if as a part of that, we see more rogue software with advertising hacks (no offense to the developers or the software ... a better word would be alternative ) #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney Oh so true! I just wrote an article last night.. Someone wanted one on "alcoholism and self-care" and I got to thinking about how easy it is for people to accuse people of things like being an alcoholic because of the ease of use of #SocialMedia#SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe I think THEY know the answer - but they forget that the answer is ever shifting and the next best thing can change it all! #socialcafe
Weren't we talking last week about how whatever worked even five years ago, in making money online, doesn't work anymore.. Like @Kathrynclang says, with things changing... #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang Oooh.. That almost makes me feel excited, like what is behind door #2? Like, maybe there is something really cool out there. But, do you think we should fear it or embrace it? #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe I think we will shift back to traditional marketing, sales, and business basics - and stop relying on gimmicks and flashy signs #socialcafe
@conpsweeney Con - please tell me you are not reading my mind... Either I write an awful lot of articles or you are psychic.. I just wrote about cryptocurrency a few nights ago #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe The only way to get there is to embrace it - and to embrace it in your own unique way. Key for 2018 - you can't do it like they did #socialcafe
@socialwebcafe The tried and true - create lasting relationships and be relentlessly helpful - wrapped up in the unique you! That's what will make the way in 2018! #socialcafe
@Kathrynclang Ok, @Kathrynclang - you need to make a poster out of that one :) I'll retweet it. That is a great way to describe it and encourage people #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe That made me snort :) I have been told that I shoot rainbows out of my website - so just a little on the optimist spectrum ;) #socialcafe
@socialwebcafe You know what they say, give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters with an infinite amount of time & one of them is bound to write #Shakespeare ! #socialcafe
All of this optimism does remind me (and not sure why I didn't think of tweeting this previously in #SocialCafe ) .. If you want to be featured as a famous blogger, fill out this form (absolutely free...) >> http://socialwebcafe.com/featured/
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe My husband does not always see the silver lining (like . . . total opposite) so I'm used to it. But even a little light makes a big difference ;) #socialcafe
