Re: Tips for Writing Facebook and Twitter Updates by Kivi Leroux Miller

These tips I found to be very succint and helpful. I do think that one of the challenges is to combine being brief, which these tools necessitate, as do the attention spans of the readers, with letting your own personality shine through without letting the story be about you, to paraphrase Ms. Miller. 

I think there is a real talent, an art form, to social blogging and networking-- some people who are good at it are capable of personalizing without getting personal, sharing information without seeming to "teachery" or too commanding and authoritative.
