- Favorite Brands and People: I follow the brands I love, the celebs I love and the thought leaders I want to hear from. I talk to brands- like local coffee shops, 3M, Fresh Direct and Zipcar- to their customer service team and their marketing team. Hotel room upgrades, free coffee, post-its, rebooked flights and book excerpts are just a few of the “gifts” I have received via Twitter from various brands.
- Insights into People: You get to see the random thoughts of people you know. It is so funny to see what they are thinking about beyond their career and their main message. People with their favorite sports teams, pets, music, movies, and causes- great connection points for further conversation and relationship building. Take note: this is GREAT small talk fodder for those of you who struggle with what to say in a networking situation.
- All Organic: I talk about what I love- connecting, my cats, coffee, post-its, planning, strategy, Muppets, social media, my family, NYC and the list goes on. And here is just one more little bit of Twitter Trivia about me- I once stayed up late on a Sunday night to watch my twitter “odometer” move from 4,999 followers to 5,000. Such a proud moment since I grew this community organically (now over 6K) with no big technology intervention to go out and find thousands of people for me to follow and to manipulate them into following me. All organic. Just how I like it!
