Money  Medicine and Twitter:

I wanted to highlight a few of the folks who I follow,and are worth following on Twitter.  And don’t forget me, I am @DrDeanBurke-please add me to your follow list.

This is just a partial list, so if you are on my Twitter feed, don’t get your feelings hurt, this series will continue.  I hope to add more of you who also Blog and Tweet.  So leave your twitter handle in the comments, and Blog titles as well, if you have one.

I just didn’t understand Twitter for a long time.  I still work for a living.  And trying to get a sense of what Twitter was all about in the little spare time I had, just wasn’t working.  All of the guru’s in Social Media kept saying how valuable Twitter was, but I couldn’t make it work.

Then I said, well-other people seem to get this- so, let’s just ask em.

So I Tweeted- “Help me, I can’t get control or understand Twitter, what am I doing wrong?” or something similar in less than 140 characters, of course.

Sean, a nurse blogger and fitness guy, who blogs at  My Strong Medicine,  and tweets as @bthenextstep …. said “Try Tweet Deck!  It will help you get organized, make lists or columns with different categories, help you time your tweets.”

Twitter Products that work:

So I downloaded TweetDeck, a free program, and got started.  Now since then, I have learned that HootSuite is a similar product that has its strong supporters-I haven’t tried it yet.  Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.  And if you haven’t joined the Twitter world, go for it!  Its fun, and can be addicting

Today, I wanted to recognize fellow Bloggers who Tweet, both personal finance, and nurses, that support The Millionaire Nurse Blog, along with a few nurses who Tweet, that may not be Bloggers, but are worth following, just for fun or  for the info they provide.

Let’s start with money-a few personal finance bloggers who tweet:

@BucksomeBoomer, blogs at The Bucksome Boomer.  She is great for a re-tweet and a running commentary on her business travels.

@centsciblelife, Kelly blogs at The Centsible Life, and is a social networking guru from the New York area.

@Elle_CM, Elle writes at Couple Money and tweets about anything.

@financialsamura, Sam’s controversial posts make you think at his blog,  The Financial Samurai.  And no I don’t know why he left off the i on his tweeter name.

@lenpenzo, Len’s wit and writing are equally sharp-be careful.  Check him out at LenPenzo.com

@deliverawaydebt Jeff who writes at Deliver Away Debt, has endless energy and good advice as he works multiple jobs to kill his debt.
