Why #twog?
Everyone is super busy. You stopped by Rob Holding Jersey , and thanks for that. But you need to go soon.
In thinking about my own time constraints, I wished people would make a clear concise point, and wrap it up. So give me a #twog.
If you have a more technical or robust topic, your #twog can migrate a reader from tweet to full blown blog.
The #twog provides the extra information needed for the reader to decide whether to proceed. It's their time. Respect it.
You have, on the honor system, 140 words to make your case. Use them wisely.
Gotta go. See ya!
PS – Try some #twogging and see if it works for you.

My parents were sticklers for punctuality. So as a kid, I concocted a motivational game to get myself home on time. I would imagine a huge, ugly monster chasing me through the streets of Akron, Ohio. I'll never forget that adrenalin-propelled rush of nearly flying over the pavement Petr Cech Jersey , feeling the monster's hot, rancid breath (I think it may actually have been the tire factories) while sprinting just ahead of his moldy grasp.
Over the years, my monster has provided the motivation I've needed not only to succeed, but to thrive in the business world. He has served me well.
His dogged pursuit is responsible for both my vocation and my avocation. The hairy beast chased me through college and graduate school, and finally into entrepreneurship. And I'm still running, but now for fitness; and not in Akron, but St. Petersburg, Florida.
When I decided to start my own private-investigation firm in 1996, the monster breathed the specter of poverty. My new wife and I were living in a small apartment Per Mertesacker Jersey , whose rent, like everything else in our lives at the time, was paid by credit card. The monster helped me chase after business just to make sure we could eat and keep gas in the car and a roof over our heads.
He also spewed the foul odor of self-doubt. I often lay awake at night wondering how a guy like me could possibly presume to run a business, especially against older, wiser (I thought!), and more experienced competition.
But as I ran faster to escape the monster's clutches (he now sported a cheap, private-eye trench coat), I found myself learning a lot about how business operates. One particularly revealing lesson was that my "competition" was really only a little more gifted than my monster.
For the most part, private investigators were what they always had been - retired police officers Olivier Giroud Jersey , special investigative unit (SIU) guys, or insurance adjustors. They often worked alone, used manual processes, and for sales collateral brandished their business cards.
