... And So, I Tweet

Michael B. Bender

So, in my last newsletter, I indicated that I refused to tweet. I explained that I don’t promote unsubstantiated sound-bites and the 140 character format doesn’t allow me to explain my statements.
Fortunately, I also reserved the right to change my mind, not regarding sound bites, but regarding twitter. While leading a seminar a few weeks ago, an attendee indicated that he likes twitter to issue announcements and quick information to his team. That made sense to me. So, my social networking continues.

I’m still reserving Facebook for only close friends and immediate family, but I now think I’ve rounded out my professional social networking links. Here they are.

Staying in Touch

You can now find me in LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com/in/mbenderally. I still conduct research on LinkedIn by posting questions on leadership, project and process management, and other relevant topics. Please feel free to follow and join in. I’ve linked my blog to LinkedIn so you can follow it there as well.

My blog can be found at http://mbenderblog.allybusiness.com.

My twitter user id is MBBender (letter case is irrelevant, at least as far as I can determine). I’ve linked my blog to twitter, so you’ll receive notices when I post an entry. My research indicates that the interconnect between twitter and LinkedIn isn’t working. When it is, I’ll interconnect those as well. I’ll also pass along other news on twitter, such as seminar and speech announcements, major industry news, etc.
