Injecting The Valentine’s Day Spirit Into Social Media
Looking through WUL, I came across five ways to show Twitter love, that I’d written on Valentine’s Day two years ago.
Not bad.
As I re-read it, I asked myself if I would say the same things today.
After all, that’s one of the great benefits of being a woman, isn’t it, that one need have no compunction whatsoever about changing one’s mind?
For myself, I’d probably stick with #s 2, 4 and 5.
I haven’t paid attention to Mr. Tweet in ages, and I stopped doing #followfriday a long time ago.
Not because

I know, I know, your Weekly Roundup is late today.
What can I say, it’s the day before Valentine’s Day.
So I decided to show myself a little love and take a nap instead of fretting about when this post would publish.

It’s a cliché. A “Hallmark holiday.” “Every day should be Valentine’s Day.”
Ever heard – or made – any of those remarks?
I confess; I have, and I think they have a ring of truth. But cliché or not, Valentine’s Day is a way – admitted, perhaps born of artifice and over-commercialized – to show one’s appreciation and affection to those who make your life better.
To me, that includes my Twitterverse. So, for those of you who have fallen in love with Twitter, here are five ways to show your Twitter love on Valentine’s Day:
1. Mr. Tweet is a great way to find interesting people to follow, depending on what your interests are. I like to follow those in my profession (public relations), writers, social media savants, IABC members and, sometimes, folks who are just downright interesting, funny and who would probably rear up at being categorized in any way.
Take it one step further and give back to those you follow by giving them a recommendation on Mr. Tweet; this will help others find them. It won’t cost you more than a click, and there are more than enough of those to go around.
