Why not?
We can post alerts on interesting posts of the board and generate some extra attention.
If you make me a mod, I can take that on.

I like what juni said although I would LOVE her to be on MY Facebook.

LL is unique and beautiful just the way it is. I think I keep coming back because it's so stable and familiar.

I am on Twitter but I never use it.It seems so busy like a crowded store. Maybe, I don't understand it's mechanisms cuz people seem to be addicted to it so it must be fun once you get in to the spirit. I don't know Randall as I hate change with Mars in Cancer

I went to Twitter for the first time ever today. If y'all want to follow us, I will definitely use it to make some surprise announcements of upcoming plans. I don't like change either, which is why we still look basically the same as we always have, with the exception of adding new Forums. Anywho, follow us here: lindagoodmancom

Our Twitter name is Linda-Goodman.com but the Tweet name is #lindagoodmancom. Not sure how all that works or how to find us. There's a reason why I haven't been on Twitter till today. Not really a starstruck fan type. Creating the account left me a bit underwhelmed with it.

Not sure how Twitter will help us. People can use FB or just go to the site to follow what's going on. But I will give it a shot.

Well, the 8th through the 12th I will be at a horror convention. I am going to take notes on how they run a convention and will Tweet ideas throughout. The hope is to lay the foundation for the first LindaCon. Join for those live updates.

As for how to use it, I have added astrologers to my twitter pages and all they do is post links of their new content on twitter. This generates NEW followers of the site. So all you have to do it keep the tweets about new posts here in LL that may be of interest. As I said, I can help. I don't mind helping since I'm already on tweeter.
And no you don't have to make me a mod for me to help.

From what I gather it is an excellent resource for networking/communication/sharing.

If you have many followers and you need help, you can ask a question and usually receive a helpful answer quickly. You can also block people who seem to be causing trouble.

It seems an excellent platform for sharing things you like.(You don't have to tell people your life story..)

*Googled this guide book, hope it helps.

How does posting content/links attract new people? I thought only people who signed up to follow you get the Tweets? Can people search for subjects on Twitter? Anywho...I am looking forward to the first LindaCon and Tweeting about all of the events!

Hashtags. If someone does a search on twitter for "astrology" and you put "#astrology" at the end of your tweet, it'll show up in their search results.

EDIT: Actually, if you search "astrology" with no hashtag, it'll bring up tweets using the word "astrology." If you search "#astrology" it'll bring up tweets tagged with "#astrology." The hashtags are a way of categorizing your tweets so it's easier for people to search and find them.

How can people message me from my Twitter page? It looks bare with almost no functionality to it.
