General Conference will be here in another week. I love conference. One of the things that I like to do is take notes on what inspires me (what I need to work on). I often do this through twitter. It gives me a chance to tweet what I care about, and promote conference at the same time.
My tweets consist of three kinds: Direct quotes, Inspired thoughts and Funny comments or retweets. I either quote the speaker directly, by putting his/her name at the beginning and then use quotes (e.g. #Ldsconf ElderOaks "Whoever ...), or more often I put their name and the word inspired after it and then write what I am feeling (e.g. #Ldsconf Elder Hallstrom inspired: Like the scriptures...). Often these inspired ideas provide important things for me to concentrate on until next conference. I think having to whittle an idea down to 140 characters (twitter's max) helps me discover the real grain of truth Heavenly Father is trying to teach me. I always use the hash tag #Ldsconf so that others can see my tweets also. My twitter client is busy searching for that hash tag and from time to time I use the search results to remind me of the exact quote instead of rewinding the DVR.
In addition, I sometimes just write funny things or retweet them. I love punny hashtags. These hash tags don't really promote anything but they add a little fun to the tweet and hopefully get them viewed a little more. Here are some of my tweets from last conference. I look forward to learning what I need to work on this time also. Hope I also see you on twitter. #TilWeTweetAgain @gmasters
