#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?

Motivation Monday: Weekly Moment of Gratitude + Newest Ambassadorships + Twitter Takeover Edition

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - My Newest Blogger Brand Ambassadorship! - I am already part of the Best Buy WOLF Blogger program and recently I was invited to take my work up a notch and become an official Best Buy Ambassador and I couldn't possibly be happier! Technology and Consumer Electronics are two major loves of mine and I can't wait to get started! I am in great company as you can see in the video below!

Bloggers run on technology, we need both an at home and mobile on the go office that can keep us connected and help us keep pace with our incredibly busy lives. We are entrepreneurs who are always on the go, and I love that Best Buy GETS that!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Another Blogger Brand Ambassadorship that I'm very excited about! - I am a NetZero Brand Ambassador and much like Best Buy they understand that Bloggers need to stay connected to their businesses on the go and they offer the tools to do just that! I have been road testing their NetZero 4G HotSpot and I will have a full review for you very soon! As you can tell communications and technology are big with me and I'm excited about what 2014 will bring!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Twitter Takeover! - I hosted a 'Twitter Takeover' this weekend on Oprah Winfrey's OWN Television Network! I took over the @OWNers account and tweeted with the #OWNers community and viewing public at large for a live viewing party of shows on their weekend prime time lineup which included #SweetiePies, #SixLittleMcGhees, & #OprahsNextChapter during #SuperSoulSunday where she interviewed Singer/Songwriter Robin Thicke post his Miley Cyrus Twerk Controversy.

And as #TheOfficialTwitterPartyDJ it was my job to get viewers talking, and talk they did, here are the links to the screen captures of the hashtags that trended during the viewer watching party:
