Tweetworks TV: Talking the Talk!
You use Tweetworks to talk about the stuff you like to talk about with other people who like to talk about the same stuff. In short, you want to find community. Episode 10 is all about community.
There are two basic elements of community:
- A common interest – This is what first comes to mind when people think of community. “People who have something in common.” is a typical answer to the question “What is community?” But, being a bald guy in a room full of bald guys isn’t enough to have community.
- A conversation – A community becomes a community when we commune or communicate. Conversation is key and that is why we have structured Tweetworks to maximize the power of conversations.
Groups Featured:
- WineTweets: Big thanks to @RobertDwyer of Wellesley Wine Press for letting us know about the discount to the Boston Wine Expo.
- CatLovers: A purrrrrfect example of a leisure/entertainment community. People love their kitties. As you can see @JourneyCoach able to find and interact with others interested in kitty talk pretty easily.
- BTTradeSpace: Some communities are built around business interests. @BTTradeSpace set up this group as an extension of its arleady vibrant community.
- PanMass: A good friend to Tweetworks, @DougH is riding in the Pan Mass Challenge again this year. We set up this group for him and all other Pan Mass participants and supporters. What a great idea for a mission/cause community. Riders and supporters can tweet about raising money, training ideas and sometimes just cheer each other on.
- SM4SC: @GradonTripp is truly onto something amazing with the Social Media for Social Change group. The mission is simple, pick a cause and put the full power of your social media might and muscle behind it. Join the group and see how you can make a difference in your neck of the woods.
