Twitter and Impact Boot Camp
By Mike | August 21, 2008
Ken McArthur is holding his Impact Boot Camp this weekend in Philadelphia had Twitter has been a buzz. I am actually sad that I can’t go but went to DC last week and two weeks in a row would cost me my happy home.
Now one of the things that Ken McArthur is good at doing is creating a family feel so quite a few of the people that are attending are people that I do follow on Twitter.
It started really early this am with various people heading to the various airports to catch their flights into Philadelphia. Quite a few are in the Florida area and have been watching Fay while trying to get there.
Some had flights cancelled and been an interesting day seeing what is going on across the country with our air transit system. Others have been checking in as they arrive. People like me have been sending regrets to old friends that we won’t get to see but the family is gathering.
Twitter has allowed all of us to keep in touch and I am sure that I will know what is going on all week end (though not as well as if I was there) through Twitter.
What does this have to do with blogging you are probably asking?
Twitter is like a mini blog and you build relationships and keep in touch with conversations there. Your blog should be doing the same thing with your tribe.
If you really want your blog to be effective the more of a community feel you can create the better you will do with it. Take the time to create your blog where you are asking Sterling Valentine’s Ice Breaker “How can I help you?” and then deliver the answers.
Your readers will appreciate it and become your biggest evangelists.
As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Mike,
Thanks for the mention, I have taken my blogging in a different direction, since I decided to move most of my business offline - well let’s just say I am getting my customers from the offline world.
The most recent posts, combined with the press release I sent out last week has added a new group of people who read my blog. I have made some great friendships, too!
This afternoon/evening I am taking the Impact Action Team into the blogging arena, so that we can expose our Impactee, Deremiah CPE, to the world! Send me a shout on twitter if you want to lend a hand with our cause:

Have an amazing day!
Micheal
PS - You should have brought your wife along to Philly! We could use the blogging expert to give us a hand!
