1:05 am markwschaefer: A:1 A broad question! And difficult to pin down. However, I think there are three main things that mystify new Twitter users #MMchat
1:05 am markwschaefer: First, Folks misunderstand the nature of new media versus traditional media. #MMchat
1:05 am DWesterberg: That is hard to believe :) RT @markwschaefer: Believe it or not, this the first time I have been a guest on a twitter chat #mmchat

1:05 am markwschaefer: There was one local lady who was trying to rent her cabins in the mountains. Every darn tweet was "come rent my cabins!" Ugh. #MMchat
1:05 am samfiorella: Q1: businesses think of Twitter as one-way communication. Don't undertand its "communication value" @markwschaefer @thesocialcmo #mmchat
1:05 am BSitko: @markwschaefer It goes deeper than misunderstanding. Don't want to. #mmchat

1:06 am pegsta1: @markwschaefer Can you explain new media? Is this another term for Social Media? #mmchat
1:06 am kionsanders: RT @TheSocialCMO: OK, first question for you Mark : Q1: Why do you think businesses and individuals struggle to understand Twitter? #MMchat
1:06 am socialeccentric: Definitely. RT @BSitko: @markwschaefer It goes deeper than misunderstanding. Dont want to. #mmchat
1:06 am markwschaefer: The second challenge is they don't actively surround themselves with connections who care about what they have to say. #MMchat
1:06 am jimlast: I don't think you can trul *get* twitter until you find a community to be a part of #mmchat
1:06 am LauraGonzo: Imagine saying "Come rent my cabins" every three minutes in a real conversation. #mmchat

1:07 am ArielDeNeyPR: RT @markwschaefer: They try to "broadcast" too much. They are accustomed to advertising in traditional media and simply are doing that here too #MMchat

1:07 am markwschaefer: I'm a bit controversial on that topic! #mmchat
1:07 am CASUDI: @samfiorella some biz dont think it is a communication media at all (not even 1 way) ~ how can 140 be a communication? #MMchat

1:07 am Social2B: RT @markwschaefer: Some people say the "number" of followers does not matter. I disagree somewhat. #MMchat
