“Leverage the power of listening”
Twitter lists are one of the most under-used, under-appreciated, and misunderstood social media tools
• Myth: They are not “groups” a la Facebook – they are a “view”• Follow without following• Filtering the “noise” of Twitter – don’t miss the “important stuff”• Perfect for small businesses especially:
• Customers (lists can be private)• Industry experts (lists for keeping up on trends)• Social media experts (lists for learning)• Professional organizations

Social Media & Timing

October, 2009: Guy Kawasaki posts “The art of the repeat tweet” on his blog. Counterintuitive! Controversy ensues…still.
All social media platforms have a key element of “timing”:• When are people on the platform?• When are your followers/customers on?• Do these times coincide with when you can post?

Your “gaggle” can share when they want, where they want – but it’s still your message.
