While 'the internet' and 'manners' don't tend to pop up in the same sentence very often (at least not in the positive sense), there are a number of ways that manners really do matter when you're interacting online.

Before the advent of Twitter, most educators I know had limited opportunities to collaborate with colleagues outside their building. Some subscribed to listservs or participated in online forums, but these outlets lacked critical mass; teachers also networked at in-person conferences and training sessions, but these isolated events didn't provide ongoing support.
Enter Twitter. I've heard many educators say that Twitter is the most effective way to collaborate and that they've learned more with Twitter than they have from years of formal professional development. Via Steven Engravalle

twitter alone might not be sufficient, as we (or most of us) not 'always online', we have to do other things. combining twitter with a mechanism to comb through the # and compile personalized feed, would be useful.

I'm a fledgling tweeter but love the way Twitter ignites discussion and ideas within a professional community.

Absolutely true! This should NOT be an option...this should be included in any business plan. The trick is to sell this to "the boss" or those in charge of marketing. Let's keep pushing it!

I haven't read this article but I knew right away, when I saw the title, that it was a valuable subject. I think that if more business people knew who much curation helps their 'don't have time' problem, they'd really be enthusiastic about it.
There's a tendancy, I believe, among business owners to think that people who read their blog, or website (or any other content) expect it to be Pulitzer Prize quality. I don't think that's true at all. Nor do customers expect a LOT of content. They just want to know what the business owner thinks and (in many cases) what they're 'up to'.
Curation makes it so easy for business owners to give them that info.

Influencers on social media are either passionate individuals who turn out to be specialists or professionals involved who use Web 2.0 tools as part of their work.
