Every 2 weeks I share my juiciest tweets – ones I think you can really use or enjoy. The problem is that I don’t get a lot of feedback from these posts, so I don’t know if they’re helpful. If you’re reading these, I’d love for you to leave a comment and let me know. Thanks!
On with the show . . .

Yes, please keep sending these out. I clicked through to at least five of the links. And about Bento: Nooooooooooooooo!!!! thanks for the news, I hadn’t heard.
Also, I love the idea of extending the value of my twitter posts by putting them in a newsletter.
Thanks for all that you do!
Love these twitter posts you send…How do you find all of this stuff? Thanks for sharing!
I don’t hop on twitter often so I love your twitter summary post.
I enjoyed reading the link about happy and mind-wandering! Took the test there and found out what I already know about myself, but still, it is good to know you know what the heck you need to work on!
Well, here is some feedback: I read the story about sharing your art. Moving story of need and help. Amazing mosaic work, too!
Good lord, yes — please keep sending these out! It’s like a feed reader for me, especially since I’m busy in the studio or promoting when I’m not at my day job. I’m sorry I’ve just been reading and not commenting!
Especially liked the YouTube link on how to see your favorite newsletters… I had heard about this issue previously, but was too tired at the time to read directions. The video was a tremendous help in eliminating the mental barrier to action.
And I had no idea about Amazon Art… my first thoughts were indeed “which artists are they choosing? It takes work to find wonderful but unknown artists. Just ask a gallery owner.” No surprise Amazon just threw stuff on the wall to see what stuck, instead of getting someone who knows art to direct the section’s creation. Thanks for the opportunity for a little harmless smugness. 🙂

Please keep Twitter Tweekly. I enjoy it and click on many links.
Alyson – I enjoy reading this blog and thank you for putting it together! I read the mind-wandering article – hand held high, here. Great stuff to think about. – Michele
Alyson, I generally read through the list of twitter items in your twitter tweekly email and choose those that I’m most interested in to read. I don’t use Twitter much and certainly wouldn’t find the kind of content that is in your twitter tweekly some of which I really appreciate. So, thank you!
Hi Alyson, I always try to scan your twitter tweeklies, and I always find something useful in there. I hope you will continue these and I will try to be better about posting comments. My favorites this time were the printing resources and the blog post by photographer David DuChemin. Thank you so much for all that you do!
I’m sorry I never thought to comment. I look forward to your twitter tweeklies. Please keep ’em coming! Thank you so much.
A big thanks to all of you for this feedback. I know the Tweeklies don’t lend themselves to commenting (since the links go off-site), so this is valuable.
You know, I reintroduced the Tweekly because I missed them. I needed a place to make sense of what I was sending out into the ethers. Now I can continue them for you.
Hi Alyson!
I love your Tweekly reports. I don’t have much time to read all your wonderful stories, but Tweekly keeps me up to date. Please continue doing them. They are a valuable resource! Blessings, Danette
Yes, please do continue, not sure what to comment most times other than “Great and thanks”, maybe that is enough? I do check most of them out.

It goes to the same as this one:

Thank you for taking the time to post your tweetly reports! It is truly appreciated!
I find your Tweekly posts very useful, especially since I’m not active (much) on Twitter. They contain lots of interesting and educational tidbits that I couldn’t find all on my own.
Thank you.
I read and click thru the Tweekly too and since I don’t spend as much time on twitter as I would like I appreciate the things you highlight! clicked thru quite a few this one and got a lot of interesting tidbits.
