The Age of Twitter is upon us. All hail the all mighty and powerful Twitter! But also, the age of innocence is gone. There are spammers galore, people who are “social media experts” who have only 8 tweets to their name, and really attractive and scantily clad women who earned $1500 in just 1 day of work. Wonder how they do that…? I really like those people who have 10,000+ followers, have only been on Twitter a few days, but, coincidentally, also are following 10,000+ people. Wonder how they are able to even engage in a normal conversation on Twitter…they probably aren’t. Anyway…
Since mainstream media now fully endorsing or at least doing a great job of marketing Twitter’s power, it is now a force to be reckoned with. As more and more people are talking about it, those who are not using it are starting to feel left out, those who have been using it for a while are already trying to find the next best thing, or are diving much deeper into the analysis and psychology of those on Twitter. The bottom line is, the user base is growing beyond us early adopters (and I can barely even call myself that). Oh, by the way, you can follow me here: @hightechdad.
But now, the dark side of Twitter is starting to rear its ugly head, and those of us who are now making a living through the use of Social Media need to be prepared with how to deal with some new evils, specifically Twitter Threats and subsequent Negotiations.
Let’s dive into these two items.
