To Follow Or Be Followed On Twitter
Hello All,
“To Follow Or Be Followed”
That is the question……. hahahahaha, sorry but I couldn’t resist that one…..
Must be the fact that I have been up since 6am from doing my training with “Learn With Sally”.
Yes my eyes feel like they are hanging out of my head! 
Alright Alright…… let me get to the point before I completely loose the plot.
Mr Barry Wells has recently set us all a little challenge as part of a traffic tactic to win a competition that Sally is running.
Yes Barry you sly fox! I know what you are up to! 
Barry has challenged us all to create a video for our blog showing something we can do, upload the video to Youtube and then share it!
(You can read Barry’s post here: “Barry’s Challenge”)
When I first read Barry’s post I thought “No way am I going to get that done in time, especially when I have never done that before!”
Yes I have been experimenting with Camtasia, but to tell you the truth I have never published a video for the public to see!
GULP!
So about an hour ago I thought “Bugga it! Let’s get this done!”
And in the last hour I have managed to create a Camtasia tutorial.
(I haven’t edited it at all. This is a raw video with all the ‘ums’ and ‘aha’s’ included.)
Plus I have uploaded it to ‘YouTube’ and I am now sharing it with you!
Talk about kicking my own butt!
So without further comment, here is my very first video training blog post teaching you how I use a great little website called “Manage Flitter” to find out who I am following who isn’t following me back and deleting them.
“How To Use Manage Flitter To UnFollow People On Twitter”
(How to find out who you are following and who isn’t following you back!)
Enjoy!
————————————————————————
So what do you think?
Do you like it?
“Manage Flitter” is an awesome little free tool I have found recently and so far I am loving it.
OK so now I had better flutter away to go watch some more training videos.
I have so much to catch up on it isn’t funny. That is what I get for getting sick! 
I hope everything is going well for you where ever you are in the world….
So until next time……..
“One day, one hour, one minute & one task at a time will lead you to your dreams”
P.S That was fun! I think I might create some more now! hehehehehe I think I have just started something!

Hi Jacinta,
Congratulations on your first video. I am sure this will not be your last, it is very good. Didn’t hear any ‘um’s or aha’s', very well captured and explained. So good infact that I am off now to check out the ‘Manage Flitter’ website. Barry will be very impressed and proud (so will Sally).
Looking forward to your next video, keep up the good work.
Talk soon.
Take care.

Hi Robyn,
Thank you for popping by!
And thank you for your feedback!
I have created a few videos before but only for private viewing for people. This was the first official public video.
I think I just had the attitude of ‘Just Go With It’.
I did do a couple of restarts with the video and had to record it twice as the first video I created went to long. I waffled on a little!
This video I ended up recording in enough time but I decided not to worry about editing so I could just get it up.
I can always improve on my videos as I learn…..
Glad you liked it. Manage Flitter is a cool little tool. I have been having some fun with it and it is really easy to use.
Not sure what the next video will be. Might have to have a think on that one! hehehehehehehe
I still have to finish my Raymond series. Got another 2 posts to write for that one before it is complete.
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers

Sally’s training has been excellent so far. She has been teaching a lot of time saver techniques as well as a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that the normal marketers forget to teach.
I am behind on the training videos that I need to catch up on, hopefully I will get those done over the weekend.
I hope everything is going well.

Hey Chick,
Yeeehhhhhhhhhhha well done on the very first live video, love your aussie accent
I didn’t market my twitter in that way, it just seemed to grow with more followers than me following people lol.
That looks like a lil free cool tool, I use another one so my twitter is all automated, but that certainly looks great, especially with the lil funny messages, I do love FUN!
Plus I love the interface, looks nice n user friendly and the inactive function is FAB, I dont think I have that on mine need to look.
Just wait til I see Eamon, I’m gonna kick his butt for not following ya ha ha.
Excellent video, nice and clear to understand and I bet you will be churning out loads of them!
Catch ya later, Sally x

Hey Miss Sally,
Thank you for popping by!
I know you aren’t one of thoooooooossssssseeeeeee marketers! hahahaha
I have heard of it as a marketing tactic though and it’s not something I think is genuine. People will see through those types of marketers.
The interface is really cool. To be honest I have only been playing with the site for a couple of days that is why I thought perfect timing to share the video of it.
Fingers crossed I will get a little motivated to create some videos. Maybe I should do a little series on the cool free tools I have found over the years.
Better get back to watching the training tutorials and catching up on the tasks before you kick my butt! hahahahahaha
See you on facebook!

Whooooooooo you’ve done your first video so well done misses…
No ums and uhs in site either so you did a really REALLY good job and your a natural!
Luv your accent by the way its sooooooooooo cute (lol).
I never heard of Manage Flitter before but it sounds really good to get rid of the followers that are not interested in building a relationship.
Also thought it was cool they added some lil words to entertain you while its going through stuff…
How thoughtful of them (lol)
Anyway better go do some work so congratulations again, fab video and hope that nasty bug you had has gone.
Take care

Oh gee shucks! You like me little occa accent!
Mange Flitter is a great little tool. They do have an upgrade. I haven’t really checked it out to tell you the truth I have just been using the free service.
I agree on not following people that don’t want to build relationships. That is why I try to check at least once a month and do a little purging so to speak.
I don’t see the point in joining up with people that don’t have photos, or haven’t tweeted in over a month, or follow me and then delete just to build their numbers.
I have watched a few people do this over the last few months and have noticed it as a tactic.
Glad you liked the video. Hopefully I will get motivated to do some more soon!
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Jacinta
Thanks for sharing such a good tool. To be able to manage your account from one place is excellent – definitely going to utilise it.
The video was great and easy to follow, well done on your first video. Should have my post and video finished today.
Keep them coming Jacinta … You’re a natural!
Take care, catch up soon

Glad you liked the video! Manage Flitter is a really cool tool. I am glad I found it. The tool I used to use was a lot more time consuming. This one works very quickly and easily.
Thank you for the encouragement to do more videos. Just got to think of what I am going to do next!
Speaking of which I need to be a good little student and go catch up on Sally’s training.
See you on your blog soon!

Hello Jacinta…
Well!! I just woke up and loogged into Facebook and you were the first that came up — congratulations on your first video, you wouldn’t know it was your first…it ran so smoothly for you.
You brought it to my attention that I wasn’t following you, sorry about that
BUT I AM NOW 
The software your mentioned looks fantastic and can sort a lot of the unnecessary twitters out, just what I need too. I hadn’t heard of it and I’m glad I clicked through, cuz now I have an easy way of checking out who’s actually following me back, great catch on that one Jacinta to share.
Your post definitely deserves a Tweet…so I’m sending it out to my both twitter accounts — a facebook like and share — and a G+ — great video gal, keep them coming
P.S. I didn’t know Barry had put a challenge up for ones to do a video…you’d think I’d get the chance to do one, seeing that’s what I’m doing flat out at the moment is videos on Social Media — but don’t think I’ll get around to it.

You have just reminded me I need to get all the little social plugins up and running. I haven’t even joined g+ yet.
So much to catch up on!
Barry has created the challenge so encourage traffic to his blog so everyone visits a whole heap. Clever tactic I must admit. I am sure he will win the traffic comp that Sally has set.
He is on a bit of a mission! lol
Thank you for the shout out.
I will try and do some more videos very soon. Hopefully at least one a fortnight. I have forgotten how many little cool tools I have found over the years. Tis about time I shared them.
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for popping by!
Yep….. No edit what so ever! I did do a few takes on it @ 3 times. first video went to long plus I showed a different site that had troubles when I was shooting.
The second video I had the ‘posty’ knock at the door with a parcel and I forgot what I was up to when I came back so had to abort that one too. And then I made this one.
I was really trying to think about what I was saying so I would avoid the ums and ahas as much as possible. There are a couple in there, but not enough to really worry about.
Then when I went to edit it. I just thought ‘bugga it’ get it up so I produced it raw with no changes and uploaded it to Youtube!
I hope to be teaching via a video soon! I have some product concepts planned and the only thing stopping me is creating the videos.
I think I might create a few little cool tools videos as practice.
I don’t know about techie…….. To tell you the truth I think I have learned via trial and error on that one!
lol
Thank you for the positive words.
Bubba has just gone to bed so I had better get my butt into Sally’s training to catch up on the training videos.
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Jacinta, oh you sussed me out on the traffic comp’
Thanks for the shout out it’s very much appreciated.
Jacinta I have to say that you’re a natural at creating videos. You said about your er um moments in your comment on my blog, but there weren’t any. Honestly you’ve got to make more of these, nudge nudge push push
Manage Flitter is an excellent tool. I’ve never come across it before. Normally I use Twellow but that doesn’t have the speed of Manage Flitter or the extra functions you pointed out.
One concern though: Twitter have strict rules on mass unfollows and have blocked many sites that do this. Hueter (excuse spelling) was one that got blocked.
So i’m interested in how they do this unless they do it one at a time, very quickly. Either way it’s a great site that offers some great functions and I’ll be heading over there to check out who’s being naughty
Once again Congratulations on a first class video. I hope to see many more now
Have a great weekend Jacinta
Respect and Regards, Barry

Hi Barry,
Thank you for popping by!
Yes I sussed it out!
I knew from the amount of traffic I received when we had the 100 blog comment challenge that this was a good idea for you.
I am sure without question you will win this one too! I will be highly surprised if you don’t.
Glad you like the little tool.
I am not sure on the limits on the unfollows. I haven’t read the fine print to the site yet as to be honest I actually only found the tool a couple of days ago.
I used to use ‘friendorfollow.com’ This is a great site but the free version is really time consuming. You have to open up each twitter persons account in order to unfollow them.
So I googled and found ‘Manage Flitter’ in the search results. I used to be called ‘Manage Twitter’.
Regarding more videos. I hope to do some more. Maybe I’ll find some more twitter tools and share them. I like the little apps and tools I find.
Could be fun.
OK Bubba is in bed now so time for me to do a little catch up video training.
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Jacinta,
I’ve just popped back to say that i’ve just un-followed 392
I had to select them all one at a time, which may be how they get over the mass unfollow rule, and then noticed that it took a few seconds top process them. Still very quick and I think these few seconds also acts as unfollowing one a time.
In my opinion this is a great resource that you’ve shown us and far better than any I’ve tried before.
Nice one Jacinta, thanks.
Enjoy your weekend

Hi Barry,
Cool! Glad you like the tool! I used to use ‘friend or follow’. This was really time consuming and I had to do them one at a time.
Manage Flitter is so much easier. Plus I like the fact that you can see who isn’t active over 30 days, who doesn’t have a picture etc etc. And that is just with the free service.
Love free tools. I just might have to find a few more and share them in video! hehehehehehehe
Good to hear everything is going well.

Hey Jacinta,
Love your first vid, also I just love the Aussi accent. But then you did have the video of you from years ago in the nightclub, which was a little hard to notice you! But well done on your first tutorial.
I have one to do for Barry as I promised to get one done before I go away on holiday which is tomorrow so running out if time!
I have been trying to use my Twitter account a lot more. I have been using the tweet adder software recommended by Kim Roach but it is a desktop software so you need to have your PC on all day.
Also from all the followers I gained my self before using this software I was hitting the limit very quickly. So I will look up the manage flitter program. I did use a piece of software that was very similar so will probably compare the 2.
It is twitter karma, so another one to put in your list of resources. Now if you do pop over to my blog in the next few days I will not be replying as I will be sunning it up in Portugal unless I can get connected from my IPhone, but then my wife will kill me as I have been spending the last few days getting things tied up before we go.
See Sally is keeping you all busy!

hahahahahaha on the nightclub video. I was the cowgirl and the fluro monster looking thing.
I have heard of Tweet Adder. I know that is all automated. I don’t like the idea of having to have your pc on all day. My poor pc would die from over heating if I did that.
I have also heard of Twitter Karma as well.
I think I might start doing some videos on all the twitter tools I find. That could be fun. There are so many of them out there. Constantly changing and forever new ones too!
Have an awesome time on your holiday. Sounds nice. And yes be a good hubby and focus on the wife!
I can relate to that, my hubby often tells me I am married to the computer.
Kim Roach sounds like she is a great teacher. Sounds like you are learning heaps.
Do try and get the video done as I am sure Barry is going to working his butt off to win the competition, however the way he has it planned it will be win win for everyone receiving traffic together.
Yes Sally has been keeping us busy. I still have to catch up on all the training videos.
I hope everything is going well.
Thank you for the kind comments.

Hey Jacinta!
First of all congratulations for your first video (with your own voice inside)! I am still “fearing” of using my own voice for my IM videos. I used my own voice in a couple of videos in other niches but I still felt anxious and took me a couple of days to just to a 5min video! yikes!
You know English is not my mother language. 
I know that I have to do it someday in the IM niche (and not worry about the few grammatical mistakes that I will make – I am sure there are plenty in this post!
) but I am sure you know the feeling. Its like going to school for the first time! Hehehe. 
Now to be honest I haven’t used Twitter that much and never worried how many are following me etc. And yesterday Lee McIntyre deleted his Twitter account. I dont thing I am going to use the ManageFlitter though it looks like an excellent tool.
But dont let this discourage you Jacinta. I love to watch your future training videos (with your own voice inside) teaching us something else. Hint: Make a video where you encourage foreign marketers that English is not their first language to make their own IM videos..
Wish you all the best and looking forward for your next videos!

Hi Andreas,
Thank you for popping by!
Glad you liked the video and my Aussie accent!
You should utilize that fact that you are bilingual and create videos in both languages. You can then appeal to people in both markets.
I would not worry about your accent or the grammatical stuff. I think we are more critical of ourselves than we should be.
Have you ever heard Tom Hua speak? He speaks native Chinese and yet he is incredibly successful on stage and in training in the internet marketing niche.
Get past your fear and get it done. you will be so proud of yourself when you do!
Wow on Lee McIntyre deleting his account. He must be doing one big experiment that is for sure.
The down fall with twitter is that it can be quite spammy. I still think it is an important tool to have in the arsenal but one that should be able to be monitored with not much effort.
Hmmm on the future videos. I will have to think of what to do next. hahahahaha I will think of something I am sure.
I am thinking about sharing some of the free cool tools I have found over the years.
Hope all is going well for you.
See you on your blog soon!

Jacinta,
Great video on Manage Flitter.
I have not used this to manage my twitter account. I have been using untweeps to unfollow people who have not been active for 90 days. I have unfollowed a lot of people at once and have never had a problem with being banned.
I am going to go over and look at Mangae Flitter though. Always looking for more and better ways to manage my twitter account.
Thanks for a great video.

Hi Jacinta, well done with the Video!
I’m a bit disappointed with the tool though because I am of course into Mass Destruction and I like to select 1000 at a time and bin them if they aren’t tweeting at all – going through them one at a time just takes too long for me to get involved with it!! Haha.
Maybe the upgrade has that function, but as with you I prefer to use the free options if they work. Thanks, keep up the good work!

Mass Destruction! I like that idea aswell. To be honest I have only just found the website and have started experimenting with it. It probably does have the mass delete service as part of the upgrade.
I will look more into it and maybe do another video on using the tool if I find other cool stuff.
Thank you for the vote of confidence. I just might start doing little videos on the cool tools I find. I do eventually want to teach offline so this will be good experience for me.

Hi Jacinta,
Haven’t been in touch for a while. You posted on this blog last year, well, not the same bolf, same name. I deleted it all and started over using John’s videos I may add. Haven’t been doing much recently, ducking and diving. I see you’re busy and I keep following to see how you are doing. I did sort of finish a product but might add to it. I haven’t done anything on it for a while.I’m hoping to meet up with Sally for a coffee, well a coke, she doesn’t like tea and coffee, doesn’t know what she’s missing. She stays probabl;y about 20 or so miles so hopefully she’ll give me a bit of inspiring. Be the first Marketer I’ll have met face to face. Looking forward to it.
One project I’m looking into is Public Domain stuff. I bought a couple of ebooks from Stuart Turnbull and Debra Conrad. Very interesting. I actually bought a book that is in the public domain, from 1895. I’m reading up on what to do then get my first print onto eBay.
Hope I haven’t bored you. You need to post again on this blog. Take care. God Bless.

I can relate to the ducking and diving. I sometimes feel like I am a chook running around blind with the tasks I need to do. I often get over whelmed!
Congrats on getting close to completing your product. You will be relieved and proud all at the same time once it is online for sale.
Cool on meeting up with Sally! I can’t do that. It is called about 2 days on an airplane!
I don’t know a lot about the public domain stuff although I do have a whole heap of public domain ebooks on my hard drive. I have been doing the boring tasks of categorising all my downloaded products over the last week and have found a heap of them.
To tell you the truth I would have no idea what to do with them.
Are you talking about picture prints from the public domain?
You haven’t bored me, don’t even think that.
I am glad you pop by to let me know how you are going!!
I will pop past your revamped blog soon!
I hope everything is going well.

Hi, Jacinta,
Barry seemed to be inspiring enough when he managed to convince you for making this video – great job!Manage Flitter seems to be a useful tool, but I am still not twittering….I know I should, but something is still keeping me away from starting with it. Guess I am afraid it is going to be addictive, and I am already running low with time.
Take care and see you (read you).:)

I have been avoiding doing videos for ages. I have been doing a couple privately but nothing for the public to see.
Barry creating the video challenge just kicked my butt to just hurry up and get it done!
I haven’t found twitter too addictive just yet.
I do agree, with more and more social networks coming about we are becoming more time poor and have to be more selective. We can’t spread ourselves too thin.
I only have limited time online as it is around my family.
Glad you liked the video.
Hope all is going well.

Hi Jacinta,
Contragulations and well done on your first video. It’s great along with the Manage Flitter tool you’ve shared with us. Looks an easy why to have a twitter clear out.
I’m like you, if someone follows me, I like to follow back after having a look at website and tweets because I have noticed some have hundreds even thousands of followers but no website and no tweets.
I don’t have a flood of followers, but I have noticed over the past month a drop and what you’ve said about the tac-tics people do to brand themselves, could be why.
Nice work Jacinta.
Cheers

Hi Julie,
Thank you for popping by and nice to meet you!
Another Aussie! Where are you?
Manage Flitter is an easy way to have a clean out. I try to do a clean out at least once a month.
I could just keep it the same but I have noticed people doing the follow then unfollow to boost their numbers up. And truthfully I have no interest in following people that are not following me unless they are someone I am actually interested in following.
It is when people are doing the follow then unfollow and only promoting products and not stuff of benefit than you know it is just all about the numbers for them.
I hope all is going well.
Am off to go visit your blog and say hello.

Hi Jacinta, I’m actually a New Zealander, sorry for the confusion, I’ll forgive you for thinking I’m an Aussie. I did live in Sydney for some years though. Living in Germany now – hope to leave sometime.
Cheers

Hi Julie,
Sorry for the mix up! hahahahahaha
I actually spent 3 months in New Zealand @11 years ago and loved it. Was on the north island mainly based in Wellington.
Cool on living in Germany. My hubby is half German on his fathers side.
What are you doing there?
Hope all is going well.
Cheers

Hi Jacinta,
Well done with the video, brilliant job. I love the tool and so easy to use. I’ve already cleared 289 from my account but I better get off it and concentrate on completing my video or I’ll have both Barry and Sally on my case.
Well done again talk soon

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for popping by!
Glad you liked my little video!
To be honest I have to get back in there and do the clear out. I actually haven;t done it yet. I only did a quick version the other day to do the video
I think I will be deleting quite a few.
And yes get your video made or else you will have Barry and Sally on your case!! hahahahaha
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers

Great post and video tutorial Jacinta! I would never have known this was your first one if you hadn’t shared that with us. Girl, you did great! I’m so impressed.
Now as far as the program, Manage Flitter, I LOVE that site and use it all the time. I actually did a video on this program myself last year I believe. I enjoy this one over a lot of the rest because like you noted, it gives you more information about the person then just a picture to go by.
By the way, I noticed I wasn’t following you so I just fixed that! Yeah!!!
Great job Jacinta, really great job. You are now officially a video Queen.

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for popping by!
This was not my first Camtasis, I have probably made @6 before ages ago when I was showing Lee Scott how to set up affiliate links, however this is the first I allowed for public viewing and the classic is that fact that I just allowed it to go up raw with no editing.
On all the other videos I made I was a complete fuss pott. Yet this one I just wanted to get it done and get it up!
hahahahahahaha On noticing that you weren’t following me. I thought you might see that!
I don’t know about being a video queen. I think Sally can take the title on that one. I love her power point presentations. They are so entertaining.
I hope everything is going well for you.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers

Hey Jacinta
Hope you are well.
Not been around for a while due to illness and injury , still recovering slowly but felt a bit better today, so thought I would visit some my favourite blogs
Congrats on getting in on Sallys course, she is a great teacher and her instructional stuff is really great.
I know Sally is a great one for getting people to do stuff that overcomes their fears…Camtasia is one mine lols
Well done.
Cheers

Hi Zahid,
Thank you for popping by!
Not good to hear you have had illness and injury. I think the last few months have been tough for a few of us!
Yes Sally is a great teacher. I knew she would be and this is only the beginning of a very bright future for her.
I wouldn’t be too afraid of Camtasia. I still have no idea how to do any fancy editing. I will get there eventually.
Just remember like I say one day one task at a time! lol
I do hope everything is going well now. See you on your blog soon!
Cheers

Hi Stuart,
Thank you for the vote of confidence!
I have made a couple of others, but they were only viewed by one other person.
Yes this is technically my first public video! And not only that I didn’t edit it!
I just wanted it uploaded.
Hopefully I will create a few more little videos very soon. I really want to create some new products that need to include video so I really need to get more motivated with this.
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers

Hi Jacinta, nice video did’nt realise that this tool was available for twitter, just goes to show what you learn from a challenge like this.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for popping by!
I agree on the learning! I watched most of the videos yesterday and I was brain drained by the end of the day with a few pages from note taking!
This challenge is not a bad idea.
I think we should do more of them. If we get enough all rounder people on board we won’t need the guru’s to learn from! hahahahaha
Hope all is going well.
Cheers
Jacinta
Hey Jacinta,
Great first official post! I agree. It was great to be part of Barry’s video challenge and I also want to do more now too!!
Great to ssee another Aussie about. How did you get on to Sally? I replied to your comment on my website so check that out when you get a chance!
Although I don’t have twitter yet I thought the post was good, had humour
and very easy to follow!
Definately keep more coming!

Yes on the Aussie front. We are a bit of a small breed in this online world! hahahahaha
I met Sally early last year when she was originally learning from Alex back in her blog hopping days.
Just goes to show blog hopping works!!
I think I will try and do a few more little trick videos. I need the practice before I create a few products I want to do!
I hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers
Jacinta
Well done Jacinta!!,
Wow this is your 1st video, would never have known, you came accross really well, I hope to get on the bandwagon with camtasia as soon as I find my nerve …. It’s here somewhere !!
Thanks for the great tip on updating my twitter Followers, will be checking out the site asap…
Have a great day,

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for popping by!
Yes Camtasia can be a little nervy! I am still nervous when I try and do one.
I have decided to start to create some little tips and tricks videos to get past my nerves. I think it is the only way.
I have plans to create some future products and they have video in them so I have to get there eventually.
Manage Flitter is a great little tool. It works really quickly too!. You can have your followers cleaned up in a matter of minutes.
Hope everything is going well.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers
Jacinta
Hey Jacinta….
Loved your video honestly you have such a calming voice and accent…and just as importantly the insight and lesson taught on Twitter…now don’t get me wrong I haven’t even got a Twitter account but it is an avenue I will pursue @ some stage soon…
And I have to say..this great tool, really is on the money for flushing out what you could call non-beneficial people you are following…it kinda keeps your account nice and clean and on the money who’s geniuely interested in what you have to say on Twitter…
And let’s have it right…that’s what it’s all about…again great video Aussie rose and you can take it from me when Jacinta Spielberg makes another epic I’ll be at the front row @ the flick with the biggest bucket of popcorn you’ll ever see, so let’s have more of the same….Later Jacinta….Ed.

Oh shucks!
Thank you for the comment about my voice.
To be honest with you I probably don’t use twitter as well as I should. I will get there eventually!
Hahahhaha on Jacinta Spielberg. That’s a good one!
Yes well I am hoping to create a few more little tips and tricks and cool tools videos.
Need to get the practice up to get confident to create my own products soon.
Just got to find the time!
I have sick bubba and hubby at the moment so am falling behind once again! Such is life!
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!

I’ve watched few videos of Barry’s Challenge. I have to say, this one is my favorite thus far. It is funny and informative. Love the tool a lot! I don’t believe it is your first video. It isn’t, right?
Have a lovely day and thanks for this great video!

Thank you for popping by!
Yes this is my first official public video!
I have made a few others for 2 online friends to show them how to do something that they requested. But I did not make those public.
Those videos I spent time editing etc etc, but this one I just recorded, produced and uploaded raw.
Glad you liked the video and found it entertaining. I am hoping to create some more very soon.
I hope everything is going well.
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Jacinta…
You put your first public video together in an hour..Now that deserves a huge WOW!!
Love the accent your bubbly personality shines through in the video, you are a natural on the delivery…
It certainly puts my effort into perspective..
Manage Flitter what a great tool, though it probably unnecessary for me to utilise it just yet…
All the best and keep it up…

Hi Mike,
Thank you for popping by!
Glad you liked the vid and thank you for the kind comments.
Yes it took me an hour. But I think that was because I just recorded it raw. Actually I recorded 2 videos raw and picked one to upload.
I didn’t do any editing at all. I just wanted to get it up there and get it done!
I kicked myself in the butt! hahahahahaha lol
I like Manage Flitter. I have actually found some great little twitter tools over the last couple of months so hopefully I will share some of them soon.
at the moment I probably only do a twitter clean out once every couple of months.
Speaking of which I have to head over there and change some settings.
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Jacinta,
Well done on your first video! Saw you listed on Barry’s challenge and thought I stop in and say hi.
Neat tool. I currently use FriendorFollow.com but this one definitely looks better! I will be making the switch.
Keep up the great work girlfriend.

Nice to meet you!
Barry’s challenge was a good one and thank you for the kind comments on my video. I really appreciate it.
I used to use ‘friendorfollow’ until I discovered Manage Flitter. It is such a quicker and easier tool to use.
Hope all is going well.
See you on your blog soon!
Cheers
Jacinta
Great video… just goes to show that content is what makes or breaks it, not necessarily editing skills!
I’ve been in IM for a long time, and even though I’m pretty familiar with the concepts you’re discussing, it’s always nice to hear it from someone else’s perspective (and yes, it did fill in a FEW gaps in my knowledge, thanks again!)
