		<description>Juan that&#039;s great. What has come very clear to me is that tools are only as good as the people that use them. The ability to engage and develop relationships is so important. Well many people are screaming &quot;Where&#039;s the ROI?&quot; they forget that better measurement only equals better ROI if engagement and relationship building are the focus of the key performance indicators people are espousing.</description>

		<description>Hey Shane, you&#039;ve asked Erika to share her couple of favorite from your list of 159 tweet-tips. I&#039;ll share mine, and I&#039;ll tell you why:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;18. Listening...&lt;BR&gt;23. Leadership (not so much technology)...&lt;BR&gt;25. Aggregating your social web...&lt;BR&gt;32. Research and judiciously adapt new platforms...&lt;BR&gt;38. Share your joy...&lt;BR&gt;40. Thought leadership = selfless contribution&lt;BR&gt;44. Ask for help...&lt;BR&gt;51. Defining is easy...engaging is what&#039;s hard...&lt;BR&gt;54. Engagement is the goal, social media are the tools...&lt;BR&gt;75. Less about selling, morea about connecting...&lt;BR&gt;82. Less about competitors, more about partners...&lt;BR&gt;85. Think socila media, think collaboration...&lt;BR&gt;94. Not about hype, about truth...&lt;BR&gt;105. Not rocket science, listen and connect intimately...&lt;BR&gt;121. Listen then broadcast...&lt;BR&gt;143. 90% contribution, 10% selling&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Here&#039;s why I like these the best: they zero in on my prefered view of social media. That it&#039;s about life. It&#039;s about integrity and authenticity. It&#039;s about collaborating and contributing. Social web is Real Life. Thanks for demonstrating these in your own practice, day in, day out. @juanlulli&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description>

		<description>Thanks Erika. This was almost a year of tweets (at least the ones that I saved) so I can imagine it will take longer to absorb and implement than it does to read. What&#039;s your favorite couple tips?</description>
