In the last few weeks I have had a number of issues with Twitter.  I realize that a lot of it is my own fault, however when twitter suspended my account without warning and will not reply as to why it was suspended it tweeked my bull shit meter to full.

This is a slanderous response to put out on the web.  Am I a terrorist, a spammer or just someone that managed to hit a sore spot with twitter or  some of the media powers.  I took a shot at the Trump Network as it is obvious that a lot of people are going to loose money with this scam.  I also took issue with Sudden Link Communications for not fulfilling their implied promise of band width for the subscribers in the North West.

My real issues is not that they canceled my account.  I only want to be treated like everyone else.  In the last month I have done a lot of research on twitter and have not found one account that has not violated at least one of twitters rules.  If one account is canceled for a violation then all should be canceled.  If you agree or disagree please leave a comment on this blog.

It is not a question if Twitter Corporate discriminates but a question of who they discriminate against.  This article establishes the pattern http://twitterdiscrimination.com/ .  I know from personal experience that twitter will use their power for their or their venture partners benefit.  I wrote two blog posts that criticized the Trump Network and Sudden Link communications.  http://www.bcredneckmarket.com/?p=84 and http://www.bcredneckmarket.com/?p=94.  My mistake was to post these links on twitter.

I was a bit aggressive in my marketing posting but no more so than such ones as the Chris Voss Show and several large corporate auto accounts.  I got curious about twitters funding and did a little research.  http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2008/11/17/story6.html?q=Twitter%20corporate%20funding This article points out a critical flaw in twitter.  The business model does not have a clearly defined method of revenue generation.  Advertising can be sold on twitter, this is a given but will the twitter users remain loyal if this happens.

Research indicates that unless Twitter get an influx of capital or finds a way to monetize their business, they will be bankrupt by June of 2010.   This is my opinion and please take it as such.  Do your own research.

My second biggest problem with twitter is that they will not answer questions about the suspension. I have sent this request several times and get the answer that no request has been submitted.

It is really hard to know what you did wrong if they will not respond.  In order to correct incorrect behavior one must know what was done wrong.

If any one else is having these kinds of problems please post a comment.  I am trying to decide if legal action is warranted.

The hot trend on Google Trends today is Hebrews :12 1-2.  The text:

“1.  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed ab outnwith so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the sdhame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Taking these two verses without looking to the rest of the chapter does not make much sense.  It has always been my feeling the we are given knowledge precept up on precept.  In other words as we need the knowledge to live our live it is supplied to us.  We are being told to endure to the end and in doing this we are to keep all of God’s Commandments to the best of our ability.

In doing this there are temporal things to be accomplished (wealth/self-sufficiency) and spritual things to be given through the living prophets and by communications through the medium of the Holy Ghost.  I can help you with temporal or earthly things.  Those of the spirit are you choice as you are given the agency to make your own choices of how you will live this life.  Every choice has a reward associated with it.  This may be a good reward (a blessing) or a bad reward (sin or cursing).  Each person must make his/her own choice.

I have a blog devoted to self sufficiency.  The information here can help you with earthly things.  Path to Self-sufficiency

How to Take Over Twitter

Today, I’d like to introduce you to our guest author, Harris Fellman. Harris recently launched CoupDeTwitter – a course on how to properly get started with twitter, get lots of followers, and turn those followers into cash.

He is by no means a Social Media Purist, but still he teaches what he considers the “right way” to interact on Twitter & other Social Media platforms (hint: it ain’t by spamming people your offers). Harris has a number of years of success in the internet marketing realm and I feel very honored to have him as a guest author today.

With that … here’s Harris’ blog post entitled “How to Take Over Twitter”:

It’s everywhere. From blogs to newspapers to books at Barnes and Noble. And it’s loud. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet.

It’s Twitter. And whether you like it or not (yet) it’s going to be around in some form or another for a long time I suspect. Might as well get used to it, right?

A couple of months ago I was in the same boat many of you might be in right now, wondering whether all this Twitter madness was of any use to me at all or whether it was just a bunch of noise, literally. But I started to hear a lot of Twitter related stories and talked to people that I personally know who were using it in ways that I hadn’t considered before.

And the lightbulb finally went off for me. There was some serious power in Twitter! People were not only using Twitter to make connections and network with others, they were making money too. Some of them making LOTS of it as I came to find out.

The biggest thing that stood out for me is this…

From a marketing perspective, Twitter = Listbuilding. Plain and simple. Proper listbuilding is all about building a list AND building relationships with the people on that list. And in many cases the people I was talking to confided in me that their Twitter contacts were more responsive than even their e-mail lists were. As a long time email marketer, I was pretty shocked. But I started doing research and I discovered several truths that I want to share with you.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to go about using Twitter, and some rules of thumb to keep in mind along the way. But there are several crucial steps you’ll want to take note of.
Here’s how this works:

1. Get followers. Sounds simple right? But there’s a lot of stuff out there that will make you think you can just automate the process and be done with it. BEWARE, Twitter is watching. If you do it wrong, you’re sunk. Account Suspended. Tweet no more.

2. Build a relationship with your followers. Yes, that’s right, you’re going to need to start talking with your followers! You want to treat them like you would anyone you might meet at any other social gathering, stipulating that you’re not at a professional wrestling event and everyone is already yelling at one another. <G>

3. Get them Clicking & ReTweeting. Once you build that relationship with them you want to encourage (gently) them to start clicking links you provide with items of interest and most of all to get them Retweeting your posts. Why? Because the *real* power of Twitter is NOT in your own list of followers. Nope. The real power is in the power of the exponent. If you give things of value to the Twitterverse, the Twitterverse will return the favor… Tenfold.

4. Last but not least. You want to make money right? Of course you do. Once you’ve completed steps one through three, there are a ton of ways that you can start to monetize your followers…their followers and their followers followers. But also beware: Twitter spam is on the rise and people are becoming wary of anyone who just jumps into the pool and starts shouting Marco Polo at the top of their lungs. You have to be very careful to craft your Tweets so that people are still getting maximum value from you.

4 seemingly simple steps, and they’re not rocket science, but they do take some finesse and time to do properly. If you’d like to learn more about how to properly implement these 4 steps, I welcome you to join me and my Coup De Twitter system. It will teach you how to do Twitter the RIGHT way as well as 7 easy ways to make money with it plus a handful of advanced tactics as well.
