News Facts
Useable Quotes“Social Media has the potential of increasing your presence, both from a commercial and from a personal perspective, on the global stage,” said Morris. “With All a Twitter, I bring several years of tweets and observations on Twitter’s growth, evolution, and reinvention.” “I have heard people equate ‘the power of Twitter’ with the numbers in their networks. Have you ever looked at the feeds for people who have these gargantuan followers? Usually they are endless retweets, repeated roll calls on ‘Follow Friday’ and quotes from other people,” said Morris. “Both my accounts are modest in their numbers, but I look for quality in my network. I do not follow everyone who follows me. I block spammers. I review feeds that query me because I will always make a better judgment call than an automated service will. This is something that sets All a Twitter apart from the other books on the market. Instead of being written by a marketing representative obsessed with numbers, my book is from a user’s perspective.” About Tee MorrisTee Morris has been an active member of the global Twitter community since Spring 2007.
