I got this golden nugget from listening to Jason Crouch, Ken Cook and Mike Mueller on their Social Media Edgeshow on BlogTalkRadio. If you've never listened, you should check it out! I attached the episode this information appeared in to the bottom of this blog post. It's about 52 minutes in, if you want to listen. But since none of those guys have blogged about this, I figured I would give it a go.
With millions of people joining Twitter every day, I'm noticing that the site itself, and how people use it are both transforming. To someone just getting started, navigating the different screens in the Twitter interface can be confusing...they all look so similar.
But whether you're a beginner or a veteran, this tip will probably come in handy at some point. Have you ever been reading Tweets and wondered what comment inspired the comment you're reading?. It could be a reply that you get and you're unsure which tweet the person is responding to. Or you might be reading through a person's Twitter Stream to determine whether or not you want to follow that person. Perhaps something catches your eye and you want to know more.
Up until recently my strategy was to click on the link that the tweet addressed in reply and then hunt through that Twitter user's Twitter Stream, using my powers of deduction to find the Tweet that inspired the response. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't (especially if someone tweets a lot).
I never realized that there's a smarter way to get that information. The answer is actually built into the Twitter desktop. I know a lot of people use Tweetdeck or other Twitter clients to post their tweets, but those applications won't do what I'm about to describe to you.
At the base of every tweet there is a tag line describing how long ago the tweet was published, where it was published from (web, txt, tweetdeck, etc.) and in the case of a reply who the tweet was replying to. The section that describes the reply is actually hyperlinked to the the preceding tweet that inspired the response.
Example:
Let's say you're scrolling through Active Rain's own Melissa Breeland's Twitter Page (@melmaven). You see the following Tweet:
Hmmm, interesting....I wonder what that was in response to? (Just click the Hyperlink that I circled at the bottom of the tweet.)
Clicking the hyperlink will open the following web page. (Each 140 character Tweet on Twitter is stored and indexed as it's own web page)
How bizzare! What is he talking about?!? (Just click the Hyperlink that I circled at the bottom of the tweet.)
Clicking the hyperlink will open the preceding message in it's own webpage:
Aaaaah! How silly!
It's just that easy to follow the conversation! It's just that easy! I hope this helps on your Twitter adventures.

I had a great interview today with Pat Murphy on TVPG Radio's Get More Business show. I'll be putting together some highlights of the interview shortly, but in the mean time I figured I would share this nugget that Pat shared with me, and that his mentor shared with him.
The world can be a big intimidating place, especially for a small business owner, entrepreneur or a solopreneur. But each of us have what it takes to be successful. We are only limited by our belief and determination.
If you've had a bad day, week, month or year...hopefully this is just the encouragement that you need!
Press On
Nothing in the world
can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not.
Nothing is more common then unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not.
Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education alone will not.
The world is full of educated derelicts.
alone are omnipotent.
