Keep It Short and Sweet When Flirting Online

Twitter got it right. When this micro-blogging service came to concept, many people weren’t impressed by the idea of using only 140 characters to express something. But the social networking site took off to become the fastest growing in history. And when it comes to online flirting, the Twitter model might be the right way to go. Long messages, texts and e-mails are less likely to get a reply than something a little shorter, and, well, a little sweeter. Just like with social networking, social flirting should be simple and …

Crossing the Divide: Digital to Real World Etiquette

If you’re like most people, you have more “friends” than you’ve ever had before… if you count Facebook friends and Twitter followers.

Second Time Around: Reuniting via Twitter

You’ve split up, but you’re still connected online.  He hasn’t defriended you, you haven’t bashed him on your blog. You can read his Twitter updates without cursing his name or bursting into floods of tears. In fact, as you read his witty 140s or visit his shared links, you’re starting to remember why you were attracted to him in the first place.
