I just saw this link in my email from Mashable this morning and of course, signed up immediately. While I do think Twitter is invaluable for networking, Blellow seems like it might be great to filter out the 99.9% of small talk.

I made two groups, one being for VAs. Wanna come tell us (well, me) what you're working on?

Hi!

Thanks for this. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks Twitter is full of useless small talk! Blellow looks like it might be tons more useful. Lets spread the word! (I will sign up, don't have time right now!)

I'll check out your group. I also saw that post on Mashable and had Blellow on my list to check out- as it seems like it could be useful if enough people get involved with it. In fact, I had signed up for their beta testing a few weeks ago but never got around to getting in there & signing up.

Blellow looks pretty neat - great idea having a job board up there as well. I've already had a couple of hits from that.

I am so new to all of this but will definetly check out Blellow. I appreciate any information I can receive.

Thank you,

I just signed up on Blellow. Seems to be very easy to use. We need more VA's on there!

Wow, I think you've stumbled onto a great site. I like the idea of Twitter, but find it to be quite confusing and actually feel it's kinda poorly put together. This is much more comprehensive. Thanks so much for posting this!

Thanks for the tip - joined ... and joined your group!

Thanks for posting this site. Looks like it would be valuable to join but I think I need to "un-join" some other sites, first! I'm getting a little overwhelmed trying to keep up w/ the various social networking groups. :/

Hey Carol, it's so easy to get overwhelmed by all of the various sites and groups that are popping up. I've just prioritised with the groups that I feel are going to really help the business and have a couple that I check daily (here and Twitter) and others that I will check once a week or as I receive email notifications from.

That's what I love about these forums, there is always something new and interesting for us to learn. I've only just gotten into Twitter after another VA I know has had about 3 leads in the past few weeks. I've downloaded Tweetdeck which makes it a lot easier to understand and I have some searches on screen that are for topics that interest me. I've found heaps of links to great resources for Adobe products and if I look at someone whose tweets are just small talk, I don't follow them. I stick to the professional side of Twitter and use FaceBook for personal. Look forward to checking out Blellow though! Thanks!
