Here are all the things you can do with paper.li: http://support.paper.li/home

If you’d like to put a Live Twitter Stream on your blog, Twitter has made widgets just for that purpose! See https://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets

Ah! I don’t have one. Here is the thing I just basically started twiting and a paper throught paper.li witch I am having a lot of fun with it. I am retired with time on my hands I would like to built a website but, again I don’t have a business neither am I employed. I am thinking about a blog through a news paper. I am curious about what goes on in the world and all around us. I am a simple Portuguese American who has dreams of a better world. What about twitter live stream to be incorporated on the daily paper? I guess I need a website whum! Any ideas? thanks, GOD BLESS.

Dave,

Klout has me thinking, allot. I was wondering if you have ever conducted an experiment test groups to see how completing an action(s) affected ones score. Having a standardized number of participants in a study all doing X Y or Z and tracking their score.

I thought if anyone would have done this or thought of such a thing it would be you.

People test Klout all the time. The most common way of “gaming” your score is to engage with high-score users and try to get them to reply back. One common way to do that is to give them +K’s and hope they will thank you, or reciprocate.

You need to focus on accounts that can help you with that. A good one to be in touch with, who might suggest others, could be http://twitter.com/EmergCommNetwrk. I’ve contacted them on Twitter for you.

You will be most successful by doing searches at Twellow.com for Alert, Breaking, News etc. to find accounts that can make a difference for you. Our followers mostly don’t care when we tweet about non-Twitter things. They don’t click or retweet such tweets. You need to find the right people. We are almost exclusively about Twitter.

Dear TweetSmarter,

I think you tweeted a question I had about how to find rural hospitals and clinics on twitter, and I got literally 50 or 60 responses yesterday! It was overwhelming. I am so grateful for you helping me to answer my question!

Peace,

Mazarine

Twitter is a fantastic tool with endless possibilities to build communities and relationships – if one takes the time to understand best practices and etiquette. The content you share goes a long way toward helping people make the most of the platform.

Keep up the great work!

· Saying good morning and good night to everyone in general on Twitter is generally okay, but not as useful as you might think—lots of people won’t notice.
· Some of the latest thinking on key working hours revolves around sleeping in 90 minute increments, because that is how long the average sleep cycle is. So for most people, set your alarm to give yourself up to 20 minutes to fall asleep, and then sleep 4.5 or 6 hours. The key is that you can and should take naps when you get tired for 90-180 minutes. A total daily sleep time of 7.5 hours daily done as 6+1.5 or 4.5+3 or 4.5+1.5+1.5 has been found by some to be equivalent to 9 hours all at once.
· A spring scene sounds like a great idea!
