Twitter User of The Week

This week’s Twitter User Of The Week is @KyleInDenver.  He is quickly becoming the number one guy for Fly Fishing companies looking for a Social Media strategy. He has literally changed the game for his customers by generating high quality traffic, more leads for his customers, and awareness for not only the industry itself but for the issues that are held close to the hearts of the industry members.

I know Kyle personally and in the time since I met him he has been nothing but a great friend to hang out with, talk shop with, and meet up for a beer under any pretense. If you are in Denver, you should meet and hang out with Kyle. If you are on Twitter or in the Fly Fishing world, he is quickly becoming the guy to know who can make things happen for you.

Normally, when I ask for information I get a couple tweets from people telling me in 140 characters or less why this week’s subject rocks.  When I asked for information about Kyle, one of his friends in the industry sent me an email:

Hi there,

I saw your plea for some words about kyle and thought I’d drop you a line (kyle gave me your email). Anyway I met Kyle through Twitter about 8 months ago just as we were launching our site. He really liked the site and has been a tireless promoter of it ever since. He’s even represented us at trade shows in the US and introduced our site to numerous fly fishing businesses.

This would never happened if it wasn’t for Twitter and more importantly Kyle’s understanding of the medium. He’s is an extremely generous, trustworthy, helpful and knowledgeable person- the perfect candidate really if you want someone to help promote your site. Its very easy to see these qualities in his tweets and the main reason why I was happy to let a complete stranger represent us in the US without even meeting him.

Anyway I look forward to reading your piece about him

Kind regards

If you had the opportunity, what would you do improve Twitter?

I would love to see a better way to track conversations between myself and others. Maybe I’m not using the right app, but it get’s confusing when several conversations are going on at once. Or, if someone hasn’t replied in a day or two.

Spend time with my beautiful wife – fly-fish wherever/whenever I can – eating sushi with friends

What is your favorite website to visit other than Twitter, and why?

I like the Drake Magazine message board, and just checking fishing reports. Also, I drool quit a bit at catchmagazine.net

Really, I spend time most time on email, work research, and porn – just kidding, it’s really just fly-fishing videos on YouTube – I’m a loser
