I loved your phrase that Twitter is your new 411. Mine too! We had a problem yesterday that our host server couldn't solve. I told Yael (@MillerMosaicLLC) to get the answer on Twitter -- and she did! It was the host server's problem but we didn't know the right question to ask. Now we do! @ZimblerMiller Phyllis Zimbler Millers last blog post..The Most Important Reason You Should Be Involved in Social Media and Blogs

My food/recipe Tweets get so much attention it's amazing! Maybe on an energetic level people know it's coming soooooo from the heart (and the gut, literally!). most requested recipe: Roasted Crispy Kale.

Trim Kale from the stems, cut into 2 inch pieces.
Toss in a little olive oil and sea salt. (Option: garlic powder, chile powder)

Lay it out on a big pan, bake 425 degrees F for 10 min.
toss around with a spatula, roast another 5 min.

Keep tossing and checking til they're crispy, be careful not to burn.

I have no responsibility if you become addicted to these. i think it's a better addiction to have than Twitter! LOL!!!

Yes, post recipes. I was amazed at the number of folks clicked on the recipes link I sent them. These are all business owners and were used to getting business tips for me.

Reminds me of how important it is to repost good posts (as I go to twitter again)

LOVED this article Nancy! Sometimes it's tough to have tweets reflect the full expression of our voice, since the actual human being isn't present. I've asked the "#1 biggest challenge" type question before, from a place of wanting to know what REALLY is most important to someone. From now on, I'll frame it differently so my intention comes authentically. Hugs to ya!

Great tips! I try to mix a bit of pleasure and business, and just cannot believe how many send their free "gifts" in their first automated follow tweet. Hellooooo..I have not even tweeted you back yet!!

There's a lot to be said for keeping things simple and staying curious! Everyone wants to connect and engage, we just need to make it easier for others.
