markdavidson I have created the greatest WordPress theme in the history of the world!

mattdelves @markdavidson That’s a horrible theme.

markdavidson @mattdelves What are you talking about? That theme is *perfect*

mattdelves @markdavidson The theme has horrible colors which hurt the eyes to look at.

markdavidson @mattdelves Okay, I’ll switch the header to a powder blue, change the outline to a nice grey with a soft glow, and change the link colours.

mattdelves @markdavidson That sounds like the default wordpress theme.

markdavidson @mattdelves How much are you trying to raise to fund your new software project?

jpostman theme schmeme

DaisyAvenue @jpostman Are you doing that in bed, from your iPhone, heavily medicated just to make fun of @markdavidson’s fun, colorful theme? Too sweet!

mattdelves @markdavidson Trying to raise around $7k. This should see me to the end of the year and release http://Scribere.info

jpostman @DaisyAvenue you are scary smart

markdavidson @mattdelves http://scribere.info/ sounds like a worthwhile software project! Good luck! http://twitter.com/mattdelves/statuses/818183874

eeUS @DaisyAvenue @markdavidson I can’t believe I made TwitterStars! That yellow will really wake someone up in the morning! Is that the intent

jpostman @DaisyAvenue @mattdelves is keeping @markdavidson honest. all I have to do is relax and watch the community police its own

DaisyAvenue @jpostman But when I look at http://www.twitterstars.com I just want to put on my red patent leather roller skates and DANCE!

markdavidson @eeUS According to @mattdelves, “The theme has horrible colors which hurt the eyes to look at.” Meh. Programmers. http://scribere.info/

eeUS @markdavidson It’s the content that counts, right? However, stars & red, white, and blue would be nice. What does your creative side think?

markdavidson @eeUS BRIGHT YELLOW!

veewow @markdavidson nice one

eeUS @markdavidson Yellow does not distract from the content. I saw the site. It helped me wake up this morning. Yellow is happy, bitterpants.

RickWolff @markdavidson I fell upon a graphics freelance gig, which might get rather big-picture conceptually. I’m combing TwitterStars for hints.

eeUS @markdavidson There goes your reputation Mr. Happypants

JeannieGrrl @markdavidson Lovely!! http://TwitterStars.com gave me a lovely glow with my AM java today. A great little snicker or three. Looking great!

amandachapel: @PurpleCar @chrisbrogan | I know I should speak up but… I just get nervous… I’m so afraid what other might think.

markdavidson: @amandachapel If you find yourself at a loss because of something you wrote, you could hire a PR firm specializing in crisis management.

amandachapel: @markdavidson | I’m ALWAYS open to assistance from a PR firm to help me with my reputation.

markdavidson: @amandachapel Not just your reputation which BTW, I think you are marvelously positioned but to leverage your following into a community.

markdavidson: @amandachapel What are some key things you consider when you are evaluating which PR firm to hire? I eagerly await your response. Thanks.

amandachapel: @markdavidson simple: how close is their billing aligned with results; is their definition of results tactical or strategic; plan; and team.

markdavidson: For those who are not familiar with @amandachapel; The Washington Post has an excellent write up about her: http://tinyurl.com/3xu864

markdavidson: My advice is to read everything that @amandachapel writes. She’s the silent voice of your worse client. Learn all you can from her dialogs.

markdavidson: @amandachapel That is excellent advice. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with me. Thank you.

markdavidson Someone provided me a link for an ebook on how to market using Twitter. It’s $20. Please save your money. Ask me anything you want instead.

markdavidson My email address is mark.davidson@shiftplusone.com. I will take all the questions and answers and then open source them with full credits.

annezieger @markdavidson OK Mark, how should corporate Twitterers like @HRBlock make themselves known in this medium?

Owlbert @markdavidson I can’t resist. How do I market using Twitter?

HRBlock @annezieger @markdavidson We await your answer with much anticipation!

markdavidson I will answer all questions individually. Please include your name, company, URL, Twitter name, and social-network links. I’ll distribute.

markdavidson @annezieger An excellent open-ended question. Thank you for the opportunity to answer. Please give me 24 hours. Thank you.

annezieger @markdavidson I’m known for big questions, Mark. I’m sure you can handle it though

The answers are coming. Nobody sent me an email, so I’ve decided to blurb in 10 chunk sections, on Twitter. It’s a little bit of extra work but it’s coming along. Please be patient with me. Thanks.
