		<description>ROFL Kathy - I want some of those glasses.  

I used to think Twitter was pointless for many businesses, as their customers probably weren&#039;t using it.  But now, everyone seems to be using it.  So I suppose that joining before your customers gives you time to mess around and get used to it - and also perfect your message.</description>

		<description>Kathy, 
I have to tell you I did think Flutter was creative. I had a butterfly pictured before the hummingbird when I heard &quot;flutter.&quot; I&#039;m just getting on board with twitter and facebook. I quit go back quit go back. Anyday now I&#039;ll get in the groove.

I&#039;ll just put here my response to your comment on the bold life.
Kathy,
I love lots of comments but what even means more to me is when I touch someone deeply. I think I just have. And I’m blessed to be able to. You rock!

		<description>Jason,

Your &quot;been there done that&quot; is showing with your comment!!!!  

As you know, communicating where your customers happen to be is the KEY element to successful marketing.  

If your customers are using Twitter - then by all means - USE TWITTER TO COMMUNICATE!!!  However, if your customers aren&#039;t early technology adopters - well - why in the HELL would you want to use Twitter unless it&#039;s to be there waiting for them when they DO start using Twitter.</description>

		<description>Great way to put it.  This argument also supports the idea that to get started, just pick one thing to try -- one thing that makes the most sense for the type of communication you&#039;re trying to have, the place your customers are most likely to be, etc..  Only after you&#039;re comfy (and seeing results?) with that one system, then maybe branch out.

Another way to put it: Links about Twitter (mostly) and social media (secondarily) are the ones most twitted about consistently.  So if you&#039;re in those spaces, you have to be on Twitter.  If you&#039;re a plumber, maybe not.
