Default Twitter topics?
I have not been working on my VA business for several months. During the past few days, I have updated my blog and I am currently working on my next blog entry. I have completed my Facebook fanpage, but Twitter, good old Twitter. I log into my Tweetdeck and my brain freezes...lol I know there are places where you can get topics for blogs, is there a such thing for Twitter?

Take a look at http://tweetmeme.com/ can find things to easily retweet there with just the push of a button and you search by topic or subject. Or find some blogs/news sites you like to follow or are interested in and then check in on them once a day for articles to tweet.

Hi

Oh that's great advice. Thanks!

One thing I'll do too is find articles of interest via Google Alerts. Then if they have a share button, it's easy to send to twitter and others. I just discovered ping.fm. (so late on this one). It's kind-of cool for me though because I can send to several including twitter at once. So many cool things out there today!

Thanks!

There are a lot of places to look. You can try lifehacker.com and alltop.com. If you're an Apple person, then appleinsider.com is good. I try to stick to my niche but others may do things a little differently. Have fun . . .You'll do great!

If you have a blog or plan to start one, you can tweet those posts too. If you have a WordPress blog you can use the Tweetsuite plugin to do this.

I will actually start with Google News, then move onto websites and blogs that I frequent often. Kimberly, great idea about tweetmeme.com

Here are a few more ideas for you:

- recommend a service provider you have worked with
- congratulate a client or colleague on a recent achievement
- initiate a conversation, e.g., What task is keeping you from doing what you love to do?
- ask for advice on a tech problem, restaurant recommendation, etc.
- read and respond to or retweet other people's tweets

Hope this helps!
Janet
