When Sherra Scott wrote on her Facebook fan page “Social Media and Internet Marketing Consultant” about this Mashable article Twitter Temporarily Turns Off Who-To-Follow, I was glad to see it.

I’ve found one or two people on that ‘follow – suggestion’ option which has been on the home page of Twitter for awhile.  But, there are two lovely people on it now whom I’ve decided not to follow.  That decision seemed to freeze the ‘who-to-follow; those same two people have been there for DAYS.  Is Twitter trying to wait me out?  Moi??  Silly them.

I seldom find anything really annoying about Twitter; I have a good time exchanging conversations with the people whom I follow, either through retweets or replies.  And this little thing has only been something more to watch, but not a true irritant.  I’ve just been working along with those people parked on the sidebar waiting to see if I cave.  They aren’t following me because I have auto-follow set up.  Their profile says that given the choice, I wouldn’t follow them first.  It’s too bad they aren’t seeing my name on their sidebar so they could start a little something because they would have a great time following me.

I have run into the issue of trying to post as ME on the many Facebook Fanpages where I am an admin.  My little post would be credited to the page, which sometimes just looks stupid.

There are a few things that can be done so that the readers know WHO’s talking.

  • When I make the post, I enter “JudyA says’ before I put in the profound stuff
  • I can go to the ‘edit’ department of the fan page and remove myself as an ‘admin’.
    • Be sure there is another VERY trusted admin on the page who can ‘re-add me when my profound stuff has been posted
    • Remember that this thought-y tidbit will be available on the Wall and Others department, not the Wall.
  • I prefer this one:  I click back to my profile page and get ready to really let the world know how things are going.  I write part of the message and enfold “@continue the name of the page”.  Facebook will open a drop-down with the potential letters I am adding for  me to select from.  Then, I just go on with my hot information and statement.   I can attach a link as well.  When I SHARE all this juicy stuff, it will appear on EVERY page and account which has been graced with my little @ sign and the name of that page.   Now, my dear, that is CLASS, all the way.
