Friday Following and Twips!

An article by Mark

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It’s that time of the week again, where I present my top followers, top posts and random twitter tip! As with each week, this week will also be slightly different. For this week, and this week only, I’ve got two lists of people worth following. The first – those who are regularly posting great stuff that I recommend (as per normal), and those who I’m networking particularly closely with. So without further ado *drum roll*

Twitter Tip – TWIP!

The ‘@’ symbol, most commonly seen in email addresses is used in Twitter to “mention” people. Think of it as talking “at” someone. Of course, talking at someone isn’t going to be productive in your networking – but can see the idea. So prefix the username with an ‘@’ when you’re mentioning people in a chat!

Excellent round-up Mark.
James’ post about blogging being a community and not competition is very interesting.
