We’re all swamped. Besides living our lives, there are millions of us who want to keep up with our activities on Twitter and to know we’re doing a good job about it. But are we using it in the best way we could? That is, in the most efficient ways to benefit and strengthen the relationships we foster in our social media communities?

This awareness has been compounded by the fact that friends and clients often ask me for Twitter guidelines and more about different social media (which I’ll deal with in separate posts). They prefer a range of information, all of which they’re hoping will help them, but in their own time, at their own speed and in their own way, which is fair enough.
