Of course, it’d help if people know about your made-up hashtags if you want to start a twibe. 😉

In reply to mspicher. If you follow people who use the hashtag it shows up in your followers list, but that can get full of people who do not use the hashtag, so having a filter is useful for those of us who follow a diverse group of people.

I don’t use enough hastags in my posts, nor do I follow enough of them. I’ll have to keep on the lookout for them in the future. Thanks!

I read about the hashtags in your books, but never realized how widespread the hashtags are used. There are a lot of great Twibes out there! So many choices and opportunities.

I agree that a Twibe can be a great way to make Twitter more personal, but it can also make the stream get repetitive, or seem somewhat off-putting or cliquey. I know anyone is welcome at all times, but there can be an in or out feeling. Like to be “in” you have to jump on board 100% and it can be easy for the Twibe members to forget to communicate with the people on Twitter outside the Twibe. I feel like I’m speaking another language with all this Twitter speak. 😉

In reply to mspicher. You WILL get a lot out of reading WANA--now to grow in my blog knowledge a la Kristen!

Just finished reading WANA; so wonderfully informative and a fun NF read too 🙂

As per #s and Tweetdeck in general, guess I picked up some knowledge by getting in the trenches (and all the Twitter Tues posts), but it was good to confirm what I knew and learn more about Twitter in WANA. BTW Kristen, good thing the social media sites aren’t your kids. Each would be jealous of your special love of Twitter, lol.

Off to create Twitter backgrounds and FB fan pages! I am empowered 😀

In reply to Piper Bayard. I've found great timely info with the #MyWANA group -- stuff I may have missed in the general twittering. Either because, lots of tweets or I may not be following that person.

Oops. I do have your book on my computer … had it a long time. I guess it is time to read your book, Kristen, & stop with the questions you may have covered in the book!

I love the #MyWANA hashtag. Seems everyone is on board with the “be nice” and “don’t spam” principles, and I’ve met soooo many supportive tweeps. I’ve participated in other hashtags, as well, and it’s a great way to have a focused conversation with several people at once.
