In my attempts to explore web 2.0 tools to help me make money online, I ran into Chris Brogan on twitter.  Chris is a master at social networking.  Today, I got to be one of the people who tried to help Chris Brogan problem solve a wordpress problems via twitter. In fact, he said my solution one the prize!

Here is a little more about the situation… one of Chris’ plugins was causing 500 errors.  He tried quite a few different things to solve the problem needed help.  Not only did he contact customer support for his webhost, he reached out to his twitter community.  (His twitcommunity is huge.)  He put up a tweet about needing help and got people right away offering suggestions.

My suggestion was to use his FTP program and copy all of his plugins from his site onto his computer.  Then to upload and activate them one at a time until he found the one causing the errors.  Guess it worked because his 500 errors are gone!

Here is his post about how great it was to use twitter to connect with a community and problem solve. I really liked his points about being a Smarter Twitter (smarter twit? smarter twitterer? smarter tweeter?) and included his points below.

Fixing Wordpress with Twitter : [chrisbrogan.com]

Make a Smarter Twitter* Fish around for Twitterers who write intelligent twits. (No really!) Add them.

* Look for @somefriend responses from YOUR friends that seem intelligent and point to someone smart. Add THEM.

* Remove all the post-Twitter users like news and stuff. Use RSS for that.

* Remove all the faux celebrity Twitterers.

* Ask better questions with your 140 characters. You’ll get better answers.
Use Twittersearch to fish for answers.

The great thing about twitter is that it really helps you to build a community online… and for anyone trying to make money online, you need a community!
