Yeah, I tweeted that!

(Last Updated On: July 15, 2009)

Over the last few years I’ve shared many 140-character thoughts and ideas on the Twitter platform. A few of those thoughts were pretty good, too.

On other occasions, I’ve put my foot in my mouth, shared some not-so-brilliant thoughts, and inadvertently offended a few people. Between the bad tweets, I’ve shared a few gems.

Unfortunately, Twitter only archives for three months.  That might be a good thing. I thought I would share a few of my better tweets from the last few weeks based on my opinion, reactions, and the greatest test, if  they were retweeted.

I hope you find some value in these:

• You can win in the short run trying to game the search engine systems. But the long run is where the money is.
• Are you describing your photographs on your Web site for the search engines?
• Make sure you know your story well before you start networking.
• It’s just media, get over it. http://su.pr/3wWRI4
• Is your opinion costing you money? http://su.pr/1WdQfD
• I often pick photographs for my blogs and Web portfolios for the value of the key words associated with them.
• Every time someone tells us how to get hundreds of followers, just follow this link, they lose one follower. me.
• Do you really know how much it costs to run your photography business?
• The Microsoft Office 2004 update erased the program from my Mac. I guess I will use Google docs.
• @daveklonke matching the colors in ones head is not an easy task. really.
• I really do depend on biographies while figuring out who to follow.
• I think I scared off the one person who asked me to photograph their wedding this year with my rates…. It worked.
• Sounds like the airport is directing all their traffic over our house. non-stop.
• SEO is getting easier all the time. Create great content. You win.
• Do you really think there should be Google ads on your about page?
• If you are not following @photojack Twitter polls you are missing out on valuable information.
• You know you are creating or writing for the right blog when you use it as a resource. Especially your own work.
• I’m finding more uses for friend feed.
• How do you keep track of new contacts? Do you have a system or a big drawer?
• I’ve waited a long time to be able to put portfolio and sample photos on my phone. It’s always nice to have portfolio with you.
• I’m finding an easy daily routine of everything I don’t do well (rather than avoiding) has been very helpful in growing my business.
• All I can say is if I’m making it here in Detroit…. Well, just hope I don’t move to your city.
• Thank you

Thank you is always the best Tweet.  I think I’m going to share some of your (public) best tweets sent to me next week.
