Question of the day:...so, how do you *do* twitter? It seems different than fb. Any words of wisdom?A:Twitter is different from facebook for me.Twitter is a very dynamic sharing, learning, and network tool. Facebook can be that, too, but it's more a mashup and convulated (imho). So how do I do it?

• Use 'tweet this' buttons. When I read some (google reader, facebook, new york times, wherever) if I find it interesting & it has a ‘tweet this’ button – I do. Same with delicious bookmarking!
• Feed my blog to twitter.

So, my question of the day (QOD) is:I use Dreamweaver to design web pages. Do any of you use something that you would consider "easy" to use? I am trying to teach someone else how to manage a simple web site.A: Some questions to consider:

• How big is the site 
• Is it hosted on their own webspace
• Can it migrated to a simple CMS (content management system)?
• What does it need to do? What is the audience? 

My approach would be to rethink the whole site workflow. If it needs to be easy to use & simple, Dreamweaver seems like overkill to me.

So, a question came up about how to handle huge volumes of email. There are alot of different approaches out there, but here are a few ideas that work for me:

• Think before you send:
• Don't cc EVERYBODY. Some people may not need individual workflow emails, just an occasional project update is all that is needed for some people. 
• Don't use return receipt WITH read request acknowledgments. If someone reads your email obviously, they got it.

For those who haven't heard about it, Google+ allows you to group networks and contacts in visual circles (and share information similarly to Facebook). Google + is kind of just added functionality to your Google account and if you are already have a Google account, more than likely it will be rolled out to you eventually (following the pattern of implementation for Buzz and Wave).

Okay, so there a bazillion WP resources out there (and feel free to add yours and I'll update the list), but here are a few I find useful:n your own server WP (e.g.

On Sunday evenings I often attend a twitter chat called #blogchat. One regular topic is blog review. Bloggers will submit their blogs for review along with either questions for the group or insights into their vision/mission of their blogs.As with all critiques (especially online ones), these can turn personal and even mean-spirited.

I know this info is available online, but it's my question of the day, so here goes.
