Next week, exact day to be determined, is going to be Tweetablogapaloozabash 2009.
The theme for this year’s Tweetablogapaloozabash is going to be helping your business grow, which is something many of us are interested in doing these days.
What you need to do is recommend a blog or someone to follow on Twitter who provides information to help your business grow. They might offer tips on running your business, tips to expand your business, customer service issues, marketing ideas, motivation, and so on.
You will need to provide their blog URL or their Twitter URL plus a brief description of why people should read their blog or follow them on Twitter. Simple enough?
Okay, here are some rules.
1) You cannot nominate yourself. Sorry.
2) I only want to list people that interact with their readers or followers. If their blog does not allow comments (or only allows comments from other Blogger users or something), their blog does not qualify. Sorry. If they have a gazillion followers on Twitter, but only follow a half-dozen of them back, forget about them. Sorry.
3) By nominating someone and providing a brief description, you are giving me permission to quote you and use your description in my post. If your comments are not for public dissemination, don’t send them to me. (Hint: You might want to include your own Twitter ID and blog URL so I know who you are and so you get credit for your nomination.)
4) You have until 5:00 p.m. EST, Monday, February 9th, 2009 to submit your nominations. One nomination per eMail. Please put “Tweetablogapaloozabash 2009″ in the Subject of your eMail message, or your nomination might be overlooked or end up in the spam folder. Send your eMail to “askdcr AT dcrblogs.com”. Without the quotes, of course, and with an “@” instead of “AT” and no spaces.
What’s the Point?
From time to time on this blog, I link out to other blogs. And, from time to time on Twitter, I give shoutouts to help people meet interesting new people to follow.
Well, instead of sending out dozens of tweets, I figured I’d just roll them all together in one blog post. And, while I’m at it, why not mention blogs as well. And, while I’m at it, why not have a single theme to tie them all together to really give everyone a pack of blogs to read and people to follow on Twitter.
And, instead of just relying on me to pick people from among those I know, why not get my blog readers involved and my Twitter followers involved to identify a whole lot of useful blogs and Twitter users?
So, please, send me your nominations and also retweet so that I can put together a blog post that will really be useful source of new people to follow and blogs to read, all to help build your business!
