Join me for the #HowWeFamily Twitter Party 9/22 8pmET RSVP http://goo.gl/ywi3iz #ad

My Twitter "Alter Ego" is #TheOfficialTwitterPartyDJ, I was a Twitter Early Adopter and have been hosting, co-hosting and participating in Twitter Parties since pretty much their inception.

If you are wondering how I got the twitter nickname, it's because I can always find the right song to play that goes along with any Twitter Party's 'theme', because of that regular party participants would see me join a tweet chat, and tweet "There comes @Tracy_Iglesias, she's the official twitter party DJ", some even tweet me song requests now when I join a Twitter Party!

I don't think there has been a Twitter Party yet that I couldn't find a fun song for.

Well it's #TwitterTuesday and I am going to be participating in a fun Twitter Party tonight and thought I'd share the deets here, I would love to see my butterflies join me! And because I am participating as a SheKnows Media Digital Influencer, I am NOT eligible to win any prizes, but guess what? YOU are! So please join me!

#TwitterTuesday Guess What's New on the Tweety Box?

I was oddly enough pointed to a super interesting article about a new Twitter Feature from a Facebook Group I belong to for Community Managers/Advocates/Evangelists and I have very mixed feelings about it. I want to first point you to the article I am referencing 'Twitter Now Allows Direct Messages Without a Follow Back' by Maliza.

In essence, Twitter is rolling out a feature (that you will be able to enable) that allows your followers to send you a direct message without you following them back. It allows any of your followers to send you a DM at any time. On a broader level, will this increase private tweets and decrease public ones? Will we go from sharing ideas with each other to passing notes like we did in school?

Because my online alter ego on twitter as #TheOfficialTwitterPartyDJ can easily get mis-interpreted, I can already see my inbox getting flooded with links to emerging artists You Tube pages. Which I don't want happening. I have a firm policy of never pressing on a link that is sent to me via DM. I avoid the possibility of virus or phishing scams at all costs.

My concerns are that it will be harder for me to find 'important' DM's that I do want because now I will get tons of un-solicited spam.

Butterflies what do you think of this new feature, YAY or NAY?
