Small world, huh?

I spit my coffee all over my desk from this one! Hillarious

The way you killed them was very cool, you melted their brains through the internet and their computer screen (I'm not kidding)

WOW!! That does sound like something that I would do.

I've not made a computer virus in a long time. But even better would be to melt someones brain.

That can happen.

Especially if you spend too much time on the forum.

Man!! This stuff is blowing my mind.. As if i don't spend enough time online already. I had better go buy a more comfortable desk chair.

OK, I have twittered (or is it tweeted?). Now what?

It asked me what I was doing now. I figured they really didn't want (or need) to know, so I listed a current project (finding health insurance for a guy who has been turned down by almost everyone due to BMI).

Will I now get a bunch of fatties tweeting (or twittering) me?

When you're reading Twitter, you're twittering. When you're posting messages, you're tweeting

You're off to an awesome start, actually. You did the three big things right off the bat -- you put up an avatar, added a bio, and added a website. If you don't do those three things, people are much more reluctant to follow you.

When you first get started, it's slow going. It takes time to build up a base of followers, but it's a lot like building your book. The people you follow will refer you to other people who will follow you, and it grows a bit like that. I suggest hitting Twitter Search and typing in a word or phrase that interests you. It doesn't have to be health insurance -- find someone talking about your favorite band or restaurant and jump in. It's like client service: if you focus only on yourself and talking about what you do, then nobody will listen. If you focus on what everyone else is talking about, then they'll flock to you.

Don't be discouraged if it takes a while for people to notice you. There are millions of tweets flying around out there, but if you keep at it you'll start to stay at the front of peoples' minds.

By the way, Bob, I noticed you're following @healthinsgal. Her update stream is one of my favorites to follow, and she's so friendly, too. I'd also like to pass along a message: @LousieNorris wants you to follow her. She asked me a week ago to talk you into getting on Twitter :P

Thx, Nick.

In checking my email I see I now have folks following me. I guess that is better than stalking.

Guess I will have to learn how to use my cell phone for something other than ordering pizza, huh?

Looks like I am all thumbs.

How do I invite/follow Louise Norris?

Nick, that was a great post about Twitter. You really explained without going into a lot of technical jargon. However, just for the record it was the plane that landed in the river was US Airways, not United Airlines.

I like your blog, too.

D'oh, it was US Air, wasn't it? My mistake!

When you want to follow someone, you have two options. You can go to Twitter Search and search for LouiseNorris, click her name, and click follow in her profile. Alternatively, to go to anyone's profile, you can type http:// twitter.com/ anyusername. So, my page is http:// twitter . com / nlperry. I've put spaces in these links so you can see how to write them, but if you condensed them and clicked them they'd go directly to individual pages. On those pages, you just look for the button that says "follow" and you're all set!
