most businesses are community tourists

usage of LOL while texting when you actually when you type LOL Laugh Out Loud

We would love to start a conversation about crowdsourcing some great community ideas! Yesterday, 3:00pm Random Company, Inc. randomcompany

telltale signs of tourism: “these natives have quite the life! mañana, baby!” “s/he spends her whole day socializing and having fun on twitter/facebook! wish I could get paid for that!” “when you cut through all of the ‘inane babble’, there are some valuable posts on twitter.”

there’s subtext in them there tweets

“Eating a fennel salad with miso dressing. Nom nom.” subtext “I care about my health, so I eat well.” “I want my friends to admire my good eating habits.” “I would like to connect to other vegetarians.”

“Meeting up with @friend123 and @friend321 (@Club Fun) http://4sq.com/8e78m9” subtext “I would love more friends to come and join us.” “I’m keeping track of where I go out and with who.” “Where I go and who I hang with may tell you a little about who I am.”

Multiple tweets at multiple times of the day... subtext “I’m lonely.” “Hear me. Value me. Connect to me.”

How I was feeling. Feeling lonely after moving to a new city. Told story of my epically "being dumped". Private thoughts towards political issues. A tweet from a date. I've posted long blog posts about terrible breakups and details about one-night stands. Failing on a date. Setting ﬁre (accidentally) to my own house. Client woes. Notices of hair growing in unusual places. Anniversary of my brothers death...it was out of character. Being a new mother and how that felt. Details of my sex life. When I got engaged. A blog about the death of my son. Thoughts on troubles I was having with my wife. Being in an open relationship. Infertility struggles. That I was not proud of what I've done in the past 10 to 20
