  • Glad trop­i­cal storm Fay is gone; back to nor­mal now #
  • Miami kite-surfer learns about Dar­win the hard way: http://ping.fm/HhMY5 #
  • Ok, so when using Ping.fm through IM, make sure you don’t con­fuse tabs w/ your other con­vos. Gah. #
  • @ScrapNancy Right! I didn’t mean to send those two tweets, they were meant for a pri­vate con­ver­sa­tion! LOL. No big­gie … #
  • @chrisbrogan From 12k+ fol­low­ers, 100+ clicks is about 1% CTR. Are peo­ple (all of us) no more effec­tive than ban­ners in rec­om­mend­ing stuff? #
  • @jptrenn Get­ting Bro­ga­nized :) How­ever I think a sim­i­lar ratio applies to us all: only 1% or less will click through any­thing we rec­om­mend. #
  • @AuctionDirect That’s very inter­est­ing. Though the CTR is about the same, the weight of the rec­om­men­da­tion is much greater? I agree w/ that. #
  • @jptrenn Prob­a­bly b/c most peo­ple con­sult Twit­ter infre­quently. I think CTRs also depend on marketer’s cred­i­bil­ity and tact­ful per­se­ver­ance. #
  • @AuctionDirect @jptrenn Also, even if con­ver­sion ratio is not higher, I bet social media click­ers are more likely to retweet / for­ward #
  • Twit­ter Search is imper­fect (though good). It does not pick up my @ reply to @chrisbrogan. Should I assume he didn’t see it either? #
  • Been busy lately send­ing invites, writ­ing an FAQ on Get­Satis­tac­tion, deal­ing w/ bugs and talk­ing about StartPR. Sorry I’ve been so quiet … #
  • Retweet­ing @leahjones: I changed my goal to $3,600 to make it divis­i­ble by 18. 18 = Chai = Life. 200 x 18, can we do it? http://is.gd/1Mb8 #
