			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One area to start building your joint venture connections and find like-minded people is to use Twitter. It's not as simple as going to <a href="http://twitter.com/">http://twitter.com</a>, creating an account, start following people, and tweet about your products or services. You have to build relationships with people by responding to their tweets. I try to respond to at least three tweets a day, letting them know I care about what they had to say or offer some advice.</p>
<p>Do your best to avoid being the "sell, sell, sell" person, (i.e., For great joint venture opportunities, check out <a href="http://jvpromote.com/">http://jvpromote.com</a>), and not giving them a <em>reason</em> to read your tweets. If your tweets become annoying or don't show any value, you will quickly notice that your followers <em>will</em> stop following you.</p>
<p>To get more followers, <span id="more-88"></span>find people that interest you and check out who <em>they</em> follow to see if they have something in common with you and follow them. My goal is follow at least 10 new people every day. Most of them do follow me back.</p>
<p>P.S. If you would like to follow me on Twitter, I would be happy to follow you back. Go to: <a href="http://twitter.com/reginasmola">http://twitter.com/reginasmola</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who are interested in social media (social networking), I am sure you have heard of Twitter. If you are using it, be sure to follow me at <a title="Follow Regina Smola on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/reginasmola">http://twitter.com/reginasmola</a>. I would love to read your tweets. If you are not using Twitter, I invite you to sign up for an account (it's free) so you don't miss out on this wonderful social networking tool.</p>
<p><strong>What are Twitter hashtags:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>You may notice in your tweet messages a hash tag symbol followed by a word (i.e., #followfriday, #gno, etc.). Hashtags were developed to create groups on Twitter. These are the most popular tagged tweets on Twitter offering real-time news and what's happening now on a specific topic. Hashtags are driven by the community and offer additional context and metadata to tweets. For a more in-depth explanation of twitter hashtagging, visit: <a title="Twitter Hashtags" href="http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Hashtags">http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Hashtags</a></p>
<p><strong>Where to find Twitter's hash tags:</strong></p>
<p>There are various places to find Twitter hashtags. Here are a few places I use:</p>
<p><span id="more-1"></span></p>
<p><a title="Search Twitter" href="http://search.twitter.com/">http://search.twitter.com/</a> - Look for "Trending topics" below the search box or click "Advanced Search" for a specific hashtag.</p>
<p><a title="#hashtags" href="http://hashtags.org/">http://hashtags.org/</a>-Offers the most popular, newest, count, and recent hash tags. You can follow a specific hashtag, as well as subscribe to the RSS fee.</p>
<p><a title="global tags for Twitter" href="http://twemes.com/">http://twemes.com/</a> Find the newest and most popular global tags (hashtags) on Twitter.  You can track you favorite Twitter hashtag, subscribe to the RSS feed, and add the hashtag widget to your website.</p>
<p><a title="Twitter Groups" href="http://twittgroups.com/index.php">http://twittgroups.com/index.php </a> A Twitter Groups Directory.</p>
<p><strong>How to create your own #hashtags:</strong></p>
<p>First, you must follow @hashtags, <a title="@hashtags" href="http://twitter.com/hashtags">http://twitter.com/hashtags</a>. You will be followed back and this activates the hashtags service to utilize your hashtag.</p>
<p>Second, create your own hashtag by tweeting a message and include your hashtag in your tweet (i.e., I just followed #hashtags - I am going to be using #stamps as my hashtag since I collect stamps and want to track the conversations.)</p>
<p>Thirds, track your hashtag to view real-time conversations at <a title="#hashtags" href="http://hashtags.org/">http://hashtags.org/</a>. Each twitter hashtag is indexed with it's own URL and RSS feed.</p>
<p>I would also like to share a great link on how a very popular Twitter hashtag got started, #followfriday:</p>
<p><a title="#followfriday Twitter Hash Tag" href="http://learntoduck.com/micah/follow-friday">http://learntoduck.com/micah/follow-friday</a></p>
<p>Happy Twitter Hashtagging,</p>
