Agreed ... Get involved, listen - as a person Contribute to the conversation - be authentic, don't come with expectations of repayment See what happens Don't bite off more than you can chew Have the courage to ditch what doesn't work and not sit alone feeling bad about it ... part of the culture shift. I have those conversations daily .. and I'm trying to be a better translator. What do you think are the skill sets for translators? Yes! Agreed …

Get involved, listen – as a person
Contribute to the conversation – be authentic, don’t come with expectations of repayment
See what happens
Don’t bite off more than you can chew
Have the courage to ditch what doesn’t work and not sit alone feeling bad about it … part of the culture shift.

I have those conversations daily .. and I’m trying to be a better translator. What do you think are the skill sets for translators?

I try to BE one of those translators - in fact I had one of those "What's Twitter" conversations with the leader of a local nonprofit this very morning. She has signed up, but I know that you need to hit a certain critical mass of following/followers before you really see what's going on in a given conversation. I think a lot of the same questions arise with Twitter as we have discussed with other Social Media - and I keep remembering that quote you pulled from Jeremiah a while back - tools come and go, but strategy remains. What does a Twitter strategy look like? 1. Get involved (as a person, not an brand) 2. Contribute to the conversation 3. See what happens Beth, I hear you.

What does a Twitter strategy look like?
1. Get involved (as a person, not an brand)
2. Contribute to the conversation
3. See what happens

While I can submerge in the Twitter Community, walking around nonprofit space - it's like a different culture or language. There is a real need for translators ... Hi Beth:

Twitter has put quite a human face on the web, and I'm grateful for that. Hard to explain to people still struggling with using it or not, but I'm happy as hell to have found it, and glad that you're part of the story. : ) I quite agree.
