@Phil Thank you for your kind words. The pressure is now on for us to live up to your stellar review.

FYI… We’re working on that contact page. It is definitely the weakest link.

@NikNik, I knew I would see this comment first thing this morning NikNik, and I bet you know how I knew too. For the peeps reading this that do not, some truly in a conversation catches every nuance, the body language, the slightest tick that contributes to the communication – it is in this way (and only in this way really) that we understand one another.

I knew I would see this comment because you are always listening – the notifier or a tweet, or the bushes rustled and something said was heard. I thank you NikNik for proving me right. You guys are doing an extraordinary job – it is mine to scrutinize things for people, I made it my job. Thanks for taking the time to come by and comment, we so look forward to the superb information you put out. Holler any time.

Always,
Phil

@Monica, Thanks for taking the time to express. Since the very first time I used Twitter I felt like I was in one of those old chat rooms, only a more confusing one. Marketing your wares is okay, but Spamming can be defined by the “quality” of information thrown at people, just as well as the “quantity and methods” – Twitter SPAMS me most of the time. As for NikNik and her crew? These peeps know how to do their job correctly – period.

Always,
Phil

@Phil- I cannot think of anyone who’s REALLY taken the time to ever do quite an extensive write up of our site and efforts on the Web like you have! Thank you for showcasing YOUR talent in identifying our strengths. MTO is TRULY our passion, we’ve never monetized our blog or accepted any of the requests to advertise…yet this blog has enabled us to continue sharing our passion and afforded us numerous business opportunities. I know that many marketers mean well but succumb to the dark side or DIRECT marketing side…but that’s just not our style, never will be! So, for anyone out there trying to ROCK the RE.net….education, relevancy, practicality…and passion are the name of the game! ROCK ON PHIL…and again, THANK YOU!!!

Exactly Monica, the biggest reason so many were initially turned off by Twitter was just this, it became a bunch of marketers – marketing to – the market leaders, and vice versa. There are some, as indicated in this article, who use these tools properly, and end up providing value. Without value, even entertainment, no one will follow for long.

Always,
Al

I completely agree with you. I find myself disappointed after clicking on many short links on Twitter just to find some useless self-promotion and frankly I myself am a culprit of this. However I have been following Nik Nik for months and always find useful information and I can’t remember ever being disappointed at any of her posts. I now regularly check their blog I have to admit I always scan for her tweets.
