@akathmadevi Yep - we were the ones who started the combo of Twitter Chats and Hangouts (back before Facebook Live) but we are considering Facebook Live :) We were the pioneers in that arena here at #SocialCafe :)
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney Well - let's just say that if you are having a "discussion" with a company you might not want to mumble "well THIS will make a good story" :D #SocialCafe
Ok - the plan was to go live with Facebook Live tonight but.. (Yeah, we are going to get tired of Deb's "Yeah, buts...") I still have no voice! I got my once-in-a-decade flu and hoping to get my voice back by next week #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney Yes! Although I got so mad one time that the story started with the guy as a body - didn't even get to be a person in the story :D #SocialCafe
Ok - so several weeks ago, I said I'd send out the link for the interview to be featured as a "featured blogger." Well, how about a group interview, instead? That way, it is a win-win ... #SocialCafe
What is the win-win? #SocialCafe We all get a chance to get to know each other better (answering the questions in the chat) AND you get featured (99% chance) :)
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney That sounds fair! #SocialCafe I wrote something about bad service at a restaurant and something about "I can get my insults for free, thank you..." Can't remember the restaurant, but promoted it so that they got the attention :)
@socialwebcafe Hi Deborah, thank you for asking and remembering mme chat did go well. When is your Facebook live? Hope it is convenient for me. (Time zone difference) #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney With the funeral home incident, I later found out that they had some SERIOUS bad press a few months back. No wonder they freaked #SocialCafe
@akathmadevi Sure thing :) Actually, the plan was to have the Facebook Live now, but I don't have any voice... Not that you all couldn't do it w/o me :) #SocialCafe Does this timeframe work for you, @akathmadevi ? #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialcafechat Sure, if you want to be featured :) That reminds me.. If you want to answer but NOT be featured in an article, just let me know in a tweet :) #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@Kathrynclang I think I had my first wake, for my adopted mother, in December 2014. She wanted it to be a "party" in honor of her passing. So, that is what we did.. not sure if that constitutes a wake or not.. (I have a lot to learn) #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe This time frame is my morning here and the day starts with my morning chores at home. If it is tweet chat, I could manage in between. Maybe an hour later, I can try. #SocialCafe
@akathmadevi Thinking of doing what we started in 2013 with the twitter chat and then twitter chat and Facebook Live which would put it closer to your timeframe (I think). #SocialCafe

A2: I won the first #SELTI - SouthEastern Literary Tourism Initiative short story contest (it seeks to link tourism and literature) in 2012 #SocialCafe
Wow - you all are awesome. Great answers... I am grabbing them up and inserting them :) As they are published, I can share the links in our #SocialCafe chat over the next few weeks ;)
@conpsweeney Remind me to tell you how I got the idea for this short story :) It involves a REAL skull #SocialCafe Real life is a great way to ignite interesting fiction
Q7 This one should be your easy, open-ended one... It is... Is there anything else you would like to add? That can include tips, recommendations... etc. #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney It involved a friend, a facebook post, and a barefoot fisherman. He was standing on the edge of the local lake and the skull rolled over his head (his dad shared on his feed) #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe A7: Stop trying to sell things or to build numbers. Instead, go back to the basics: create lasting connections with people and focus on being relentlessly helpful #SocialCafe
I think my chihuahua needs to go do some reading. He is wandering in circles... This Twitter Chat thing is just too much fun for his interest level :) #SocialCafe
Well all - I've enjoyed our time together. Now, to go compile those features! My pleasure to feature you as famous bloggers (and look forward to your next best selling novels!) #SocialCafe
Another month! Thank you for your continued support! =D I really appreciate all of you! (And, if you haven't already, join our #SocialCafe to get free training and resources... Tues 6p PT/9p ET on Twitter.)
