I've got a new Toy - Tweet clouds

Tweet Clouds are Fun and Whimsical

I have been learning a lot about the various social networking platforms since I started my website with my friend Linda.  The website is called Networking Tips 4U.  It has articles on all of the social sites such as Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.

Twitter is one of my favorites. It's not everyone's cup of tea but there is something very appealing to me about saying what I am thinking in no more than 140 characters.

Trying to stand out on Twitter is quite difficult. There are millions of tweets done every day.  I am always looking for something new and different with a creative edge to it to give my followers something they might want to retweet.

I just wrote an article for our networking site which talks about Tweet clouds.  Tweet clouds are small cloud shaped formations which contain the words you have used most in a time period.   You can read more about Tweet Clouds and how to make them on this page of our website.

Here is my latest one that I did for my jewelrylane twitter id.

I've been listing today and tweeted some of my latest listings so the materials and jewelry types are showing up in the cloud.

Here is another type of tweet cloud.  It shows not only my jewelry words, but also some gardening and networking words tool

I'm sort of artistic, so I have a fondness for the cloud shape but the other one appeals to me too...mostly because it is a teal color.  Which type of Tweet cloud do you prefer?   I'd love to hear from you in the comment section below.

My Daughter Jess Brings the Latest European Fashion Trends to This Blog

Those of you who have been to my Facebook page know that my daughter Jess has left the US today to travel to Great Britain.  She will be at Hull University studying until about Christmas.

Before she left, I spoke to her about all of the social networking that I have been doing lately on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google + and other sites.  Jess came up with a great idea for my blog and which should delight my readers.

Jess is very interested in fashion and has a really keen eye for what is up to the minute in the latest trends.  She volunteered to do some blog postings for my blog while she is away about the current fashion trends in all parts of Great Britain and Europe.

This should be starting very soon, and I will keep you updated as it all unfolds.  I'm very excited that she wants to help her mom out with the blog and look forward to the insights that she will bring us.

She is an avid user of Pinterest and has several boards there mainly about fashion, cooking and household decoration.  I expect that number to soar and she finds interesting things to add to my blog and to her Pinterest favorites boards.

I'm eagerly awaiting her photos of fashion trends to see how they compare to the ones that are current here in the USA.

Right now she is en route from Washington, DC and will arrive in the UK at noon tomorrow.  Check back soon to see what she has to share.  I, for one, can't wait!
