What the Heck ! do we say on Twitter ?

One of the first questions I'm asked by clients when it comes to creating their social media accounts for them "What the Heck do we say on Twitter".  They spot tweets posted by people and companies that they follow and feel the urge to join in the conversation but are unsure how to go about it, "what if we say the wrong thing," or the dreaded thought of "what if we make fools of ourselves" is said to me many times.

I say "When its time for that long awaited coffee break its time to tweet". Order that Coffee in a big mug,  kick back, log onto Twitter and join the conversations that interest you." as you well know by now I have lots of coffee breaks :).

If you think you've made a fool of yourself in a tweet or a post don't worry the world's not going to cave in, and tomorrow will be another day!

Which is the better platform ?

It's so hard to decide which is the better platform Blogger or Wordpress !

For years now I have used both creating blogs and websites for family, friends and business clients and after all this time and fun I've had playing around on both these platforms I still can't decide which one I want to use for myself.

Have a look at Wordpress.org platform which is powered by PHP and MYSQL and initially introduced to the world in May 2003, version WP 3.0 was downloaded more than 33 million times in 2011. It has thousands of templates that are free to download and use, and if your like me play around with the code bugger them up delete them and start again till you get it right :)

Now have a look at Blogger.com one excellent platform for a newbie to start their blog with,  so user friendly and yet so up there with the rest,  you can spice it up now with free templates and social plugins, as opposed to Wordpress where you do need a little knowledge on what web hosting is, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and cpanel with Blogger you don't even need the dummies guide on how to us it.
