new trends from WashTrends magazine. Keep up the good work, WashTrends is a really good magazine... media? One of my favorite social media tools is Twitter, and here's one example of how it works for me. when I ask for help or information on a subject, I often get an answer right away. But the way to make friends in order to communicate effectively takes time and a friendly approach, especially if you're trying to create business connections. For instance, when you walk into a networking event, no matter what size--25, 50, or 100 people--you are there to meet and greet people. you cannot command people to listen to you. Usually you walk in and join a conversation, wait to be introduced to a few people, ask how their day went, and listen. Twitter is a networking event in which you can participate at any time of the day. To begin Twittering takes time, thought and the desire to be social. I follow people who have similar interests. As a result, I have broadened my thinking with new interests such as Haiku, eco-friendly subjects, having a balanced life, and ways to save, and the list goes on. at Twitter.com/ckinney.
