HRHero has started Tweeting

Good morning forumites,

After dazzling you with our page on Facebook (still trying to figure out how to use the new design Facebook gave everyone) and then amazing you with our YouTube channel, we are happy to announce that we have joined the world of Twitter as well. Tony Kessler has added Chief Twitterer to his job description and when he's out running half-marathons or watching travel hockey others of us at MSLP will be Tweeting instead. We'll be announcing it in this week's HR Hero Line, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek.

You can find us at [url]http://twitter.com/HRHero[/url]. Setting up an account is free so you can't beat the cost. We'll be tweeting the latest news from HRHero and the Employment Law Post. Once we get settled in, we'll probably expand what we are doing.

For those of you who missed our page on Facebook, you can find us there at [url]http://www.facebook.com/pages/HR-Hero-Employment-Law-Resource-for-Human-Resource-Professionals/18631295923[/url].

Also, we have recently added new videos to our YouTube Channel at [url]

  • What with 'following' you guys and the Weather Channel - I may never need to turn on my computer. :o
  • This just in: cloudy and overcast here today. Bring back the sun. :cool: tk
  • Since you will be getting our weather in just a few hours... not gonna happen today. :cry:

    Houston should expect a Hail-producing t-storm. and there are Strange clouds over Indianapolis, I love twitter!
  • Long time Twitterer here! Coming up to my thousandth Tweet soon... I'll have to make it extra good. Followers will notice Tweet #666 was about Dick Cheney.

  • Greetings,
    I can't believe it's already been more than four months since we launched our Twitter account, @HRHero. I'm happy to report that we now have a solid group of "followers," just over 250, including some of you Forumites, who are definitely the best and the brightest followers one could ever have. If you aren't yet on Twitter but want to check out the fun, follow Wendi's directions in the first post of this thread. Also, if you sign on to Twitter under a different screen name, be sure to let me know you're there. We want to know who you are so we can be sure to "follow back" all Forumites.

    Along that line, many of the Twitter guides recommend that you sign up with your REAL NAME as your screen name if it's still available. For ex., my personal account is @TonyKessler. (You're welcome to follow me there, too, though I do more listening than posting . . . well, except when a half marathon is coming up.)

    Back to @HRHero: Here are some other Twitter accounts we would recommend:

    @TX_workplacelaw -- featuring TX Employment Law Letter editor Michael P. Maslanka, with Ford & Harrison LLP in Dallas

    @VA_workplacelaw -- featuring VA Employment Law Letter editor Michael E. Barnsback, with DiMuroGinsber, PC, in Alexandria

    @OK_workplacelaw -- featuring a number of employment law attorneys with the OK firm of McAfee & Taft, which edits our OK Employment Law Letter

    @wbowser and @MollyDiBi -- attorneys with Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, and editors of DE Employment Law Letter

    @oswaldletter -- featuring our very own CEO, Dan Oswald, who also writes a weekly e-zine on management and communications issues, titled "The Oswald Letter"

    @HRSocialMedia -- Wendi just started this account to keep up with the rapidly changing world of social media as it affects your HR practices

    Have a great rest of the week! tk
  • Ok, I'll follow Tony. Unless he's running a marathon. Then I'll follow in a car.

    You have 258 followers already. Well done. A few of them seem to be selling Viagra or offering links to their "hot pics" but as long as they are all sincerely interested in HR then its fine.

    Im not feeling the love for Twitter these days. Getting myself to "tweet" feels like work. Maybe I'll get back into it. Its just been what I had hoped it would be.
  • Err Paul? Did you say exactly what you meant to say? :-/
  • Paul, thanks for the heads up on the would-be Twitter followers of ill or questionable repute! We do of course block anyone we recognize to be a spammer, mass marketer, or purveyor of porn and/or Viagra. Sometimes, though, it isn't all that clearcut. (Usually, it is obvious.) That said, if we missed one and you think about it, please send me a direct message with the screen name so I can go back and block 'em. tk
  • I noticed a couple of your followers were scantily clad but it may have just been Frank. I didnt want to look too closely.
  • I haven't cleaned up my followers in months. I think I have every manner of huckster, pervert and hatemonger listed. And those are the good ones!
  • I don't usually look at who is following me, except to see if I should follow them back. As long as I am not following the spammers and perverts, I am happy.
