How often I update my Twitter status

All the time!!

Subjects I tweet that I wouldn't discuss in person

Nothing. I'm not controversial so I discuss on twitter what I talk about in real life.

The most memorable tweet I sent or received

Anything about a charity. Love GlobalGiving.com

How Twitter has helped me as a mom

I use it to get advice on my tween and teen.

What I have learned from other moms on Twitter

Everything. Moms on twitter are genuine. Knowledgeable. Good to connect with. Sign up for an account. Lurk...yes it is O.K. to lurk for a little while. Follow people in the timeline who you tweet interesting links, advice, or are funny. Avoid MLM, white teeth people, and anyone saying you can get rich on the internet. Once you are comfortable, start interacting with followers. You will be amazed at how many people will converse with you. If someone doesn't answer back, well perhaps that person is not worth following.

Advice

  • Give it a try. You won't know what you are missing until you see what it is all about.
