 Do You Follow #FollowFriday Suggestions?

I have to say it always makes my day when I see @jaybetee or @BlogCatalog pop up on someone’s #FollowFriday list on Twitter. Being the skeptic that I am, however, I have to wonder if making it on to various #FollowFriday lists has any real impact when it comes to gaining more Twitter followers. Except for when I first started using Twitter, I don’t think I have ever added anyone from a #FollowFriday list

 Update Your Status on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin with One Application

Sometimes it can be cumbersome to update your status on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin by having to visit the individual sites. Your readers want to stay connected to you in various ways and some prefer different outlets.  You have to make sure that if you create a social media stream for your users to follow you, then you need to continue to use it so you don’t lose your reader’s interest. I am a part-time blogger since I am also a full-time stay at home mom and involved in various organizations.  Even though I am considered a “stay at home mom,” it seems like we are never at home!  So staying connected in different outlets took a lot effort, but not any longer with HootSuite
