A year ago, I only had my blog and four years before that, nothing. Do I regret it? Not at all as I've made some lovely writing connections (including you and Sue). Managing time spent on social media is a challenge but I find it gets easier the longer you use it.

But you can't direct message them if they don't follow you. Sometimes, if a conversation does appear to be between friends you see others saying *butting in* at the beginning of their Tweet. I believe that the general rule is if they are likely to mind someone joining the conversation then they wouldn't put it on Twitter! :-) Thanks for your reply. If you look elsewhere on Neetsmarketing Blog then I think you'll find some great posts on Twitter etiquette. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188898171436041166.post-42576747758930986142015-06-07T14:01:28.101+01:002015-06-07T14:01:28.101+01:00Cheers, John. :-) Thanks for commenting.

Can I reply to posts from people I follow, but who don't follow me? If the following is mutual, the other person is usually still a stranger to me and joining in a conversation that appears to be between friends seems rude. Oh, the agonies of being a shy, English Twitter user.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188898171436041166.post-19290032439198663952015-06-07T09:41:30.557+01:002015-06-07T09:41:30.557+01:00An excellent post from Sue - as usual!

I tend to "unfriend" or "unfollow" people who don't or won't engage.<br /><br />It's not all about sales - particularly in my case - I'm still working on Book 1. <br /><br />I'm also happy to say I'm a member of Team Sue Moorcroft.
