I definitely agree that if Twitter comes out with some location based tools, this will make building a local network much easier.<br /><br />I have considered doing what you are doing Steve in creating two Twitter accounts. However, I am finding it hard enough to keep up with one account.<br /><br />Do both of you try to read every tweet that comes your way? I think that is one of my difficulties. I try to go back and read every tweet that I missed (usually stop by twice a day). As I follow more and more people, that is more tweets to go back to view. How do you manage the tweet flow?<br />RuthRuth Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134928952526450778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464772049928719051.post-55144376468943842802009-09-22T14:37:44.795-07:002009-09-22T14:37:44.795-07:00Hi Ruth - I recently changed my career to become a...Hi Ruth - I recently changed my career to become a learning mentor and am also relatively new to both Twitter. I have created two Twitter accounts, one of which I am using to build a PLN the other I use more for a more local network. I use Hootsuite to manage these accounts allowing me to post to either or both accounts. Works well for me so far.Steve Lissendenhttp://www.lissenden.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464772049928719051.post-51774765346499565242009-09-22T14:27:44.152-07:002009-09-22T14:27:44.152-07:00Ruth - I think both are key, and yes, for me, I...Ruth - I think both are key, and yes, for me, I've been able to build both a global network and a strong NYC network.<br /><br />Sometimes you just need to get coffee with someone to make sense of the hard stuff, ya know?<br /><br />I think in this case you can definitely have your cake and eat it too. Look for twitter to come out with location based tools in the next 6 months to make this much easier. <br /><br />Helping people find a network - or PLN if you like - on twitter is a key business priority for them. Too many people sign up and never connect.Kevin Prentisshttp://blog.swiftkickonline.comnoreply@blogger.com
