How was Twitter born?

I was curious to find out how long Twitter had been around, how it got started, and the reason for its success.  I was surprised to find out that Twitter was started 3 years ago.  The concept was a phenomenon and the idea has flourished to become a huge success.

Success did not come until the idea was public and folks began to invite their friends and associates to join in this unique form of communication.   The introduction of API pushed the concept over the top.  Now there are millions using Twitter and connecting with friends and assoicates around the world.    The whole story about Twitter can be found here!

Would you like to hear the story about how Reverse Talk  was born?  To be honest, it actually came from the concepts adapted by Twitter.  From my own experiences, I knew that most of us have little time to do what we want, plus dozens of places to go to for answers, but I felt the common known sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, just did not relate to the issues, challenges, and things going on in my senior world and that of reverse mortgages.   I knew there had a be a way to get everyone togethter and in a way that was affordable and not majorly time consuming.    I guess free was good enough! 

Thus was born ReverseTalk.com  Here in 140 characters (micro blogging) or less you can connect with like minded folks.  For you to get the most from your RT experience, consider inviting a friend.  There are really no trade secrets, only opportunities and guess what, you might meet a friend or learn how you can push yourself to a higher degree of success.  Short and direct messages are the future and the way to absorb a lot of information in a short time.   Also, did you know your Reverse Talk public posts automatically goes to your Twitter account, saving you time and connecting you with more folks.

Have you ever made a purchase, for example a car, and wish it had that little extra something?  Well, when I put together Reverse Talk, I tried to keep it simple, but useful.  However, sometimes the most  obvious just gets overlooked.

Today Christine Herman from PRClosings and Gary Packman brought to my attention the very obvious.  The “Register” button for new members joining was too obscure.  Once I checked it out, I agreed, so we are working on changing it to be more pronounced.

Also, William Bach brought to my attention a  ”direct message”  issue.  We are working on fixing.  Seems like the issue is resolved, but early members have been affected the most.

Now the good news.  The feedback for Reverse Talk has been really positive and I hope to see more folks take advantage of this great means to communicate among each other, within your company, and with other service providers.

Please let me know if we can help any way, just send us an email:  support@reversetalk.com

In the meantime, go ahead invite friends and associates.  The link is available on top tab:

The more we talk reverse, the more we can improve our industry image and help more seniors!
