Can You Help Me Follow Discussions on Facebook & Twitter?
May 25th, 2009
I love following relevant discussions on my favorite social networking and group collaboration sites.
I know it’s easy on LinkedIn and sites built with Ning and CollectiveX. With discussions on these sites, I see all comments regarding one discussion below the initial post. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since my last visit. It’s all in one place. I don’t have to go anywhere else to follow what’s been said or to post my own comment.
So far from what I’ve been able to figure out, the discussion threads on these Facebook and Twitter are spread out on different people’s profiles/sites. Things don’t seem to be archived for a long time either.
Is there any way ~ especially an easy one ~ to follow the threads of a discussion on Facebook and Twitter? I’m hoping I just need a few tips here and there to do this, right?
Thanks in advance to any of you who can help me (and I’m guessing many others) follow and participate in the great conversations happening out here in cyberspace.
P.S. Learning things like this one step at a time is one winning strategy for overcoming Marketing Resistance Syndrome. It helps so much to have specific know-how to take the fear out of jumping into the deep end. Having someone teach us how to swim or throw us a life preserver ~ either way we all win!

Bonnie,
Linkedin.com, Facebook.com and Twitter.com are three popular social networking sites and their level of formality is best described by my friend Rod Jurado who told me once “I see the more formal LinkedIn as my on-line office, Facebook as my on-line living room and Twitter as my front porch.”
Maybe if there were such a tool it would make Twitter and Facebook the same as the other platforms. They are different because they serve different purposes. This is the best answer I have. I get frustrated also, but I call on the phone and send an email when twitter won’t work.
