I am trying out Twitter – wish this post had come a little earlier, for me! I’ve written about Twitter/working from home a couple of times on my blog.
There’s an e-guide I found helpful, by author Nicola Morgan, who uses social media a lot. It’s called ‘Tweet Right’.

I did use twitter for an organization and twitter out new blog posts. Not for my personal blog. I like to be careful with my use of time on the ‘Net.

Twitter is pretty intuitive once you realize what it’s for — “flash” posting. You don’t have to follow what you don’t want to read about, or you may choose to skip such posts (they’re only 360 characters each, anyway).

For bloggers, think of Twitter as a catalogue, flashcards, or a quick advert for your posts. People can catch a glimpse of what you’re writing about and decide for themselves if they wanna click the link and read more. They may send you quick messages and replies, and the attitude of the world to twitter seems to be that it’s a casual place, which is great for building communication and relationships. It’s not as cliquish as Facebook, or as formal as WordPress. It’s a good place to throw out posts to the open web (that has millions of users already, as well) and advertise your blog without being too annoying and overt about it (though only in comparison, because everyone is doing the same anyway)

I started blogging 3 days ago and put up Twitter for it from the get-go. I want to see how this pans out!

In keeping up with twitter’s theme of shameless plugging, i’ll take this chance to advertise my account. Care to follow? @fargazing

I post everything to twitter, but i also use twitter for that random thought that i dont need a whole page to say. It has been useful. More ppl have started following my twitter acount in the two weeks that Ive moved to word press. I went up 15 followers which i dont think is to bad.

I’m on twitter @marantophoto I just started, so I am learning slowly. I figure I’ll give it some time. At this point I like my blog a lot more.
Cheers!

As part of an attempt to start getting more people reading my work I just started tweeting in earnest a few days ago. (I’ve had an account for nearly a year, but had been too intimidated, weirded out, and confused to use it consistently.) It has brought a few people to my site; yesterday, five folks happened upon me from some mysterious Twitterland place of origin. It’s a tiny number, yes, but I also have a tiny presence on Twitter that I’m looking to make larger in the coming days, weeks, and months. Who knows how many people will become exposed to my writing thanks to Twitter? I have a lot of hope for it.

A word on learning how to use it. I’ve really gone in for baptism by fire. Because of Facebook I was familiar with the concept of hashtags and have started using them with glee. Tweeting is a language all it’s own, but if you take Rick Steeves’s general advice on language-learning and jump into it head first, you may find, as I have, tweeting is a very interesting, amusing, and innovative way to communicate and promote yourself. And as far as gathering followers is concerned, I just started by typing in random people places and things I admire (as well as plenty of non-random, writing/writer-centric stuff), and my network quickly began growing from there.

Have fun!
