Yes! These were the words I was looking for. I do need to ask that question “What’s the strategy?” … And now I’m seeing the thought process of getting that done. Please, highlight away, because this the only place I know elaborating on this kind of intelligent social media use.

I seek functionality – to get a retweet and I know why this person would do it. Or get a @ mention because someone’s genuinely going somewhere with the comment.

What does information sharing look like on Twitter when it has a purpose and is between 2 or 3 people? I think that’s the core of what I want to do for my own situation. I think sharing that goes beyond that is a positive by-product. Am I on the right track with that thinking?
