What I Really Think of Twitter
Posted By admin on May 17, 2009
Raise your hand if you’re on Twitter.
My hand is raised.
I must admit that when I first heard about Twitter I thought it was the silliest thing ever. “Who in the world has time to deal with such a thing?” I thought. “And why do I care what others are doing at any given moment?”
Now I’m hooked.
There’s lots of debate about whether or not Twitter leads to financial gains and, quite honestly, I think the jury is still out on that. But I will say that my presence on Twitter has increased my web site traffic and has allowed me to connect with people that I wouldn’t otherwise meet.
Some experts say that just two tweets a day is all it takes to gain a following and to build relationships. Some days I tweet more, some days less, it just depends upon what I have going on and whether or not I find an ongoing stream of tweets that I want to join. In other words, you can add your opinions, answer questions, or simply insert yourself into conversations that your colleagues and peers are already having on Twitter. And no one calls you nosy or asks you to bud out. It’s wonderful!
Some of the most interesting insights I’ve read about Twitter and other social media outlets are often posted on Twitter by a fellow participant I know as YPMarketing.com. One post in particular, How to Get The Most Out of 140 Characters, is really helpful, especially if you’re just starting to get active on Twitter. I encourage you to check it out.
Then go to www.Twitter.com and set up your account. Tweet a bit and see what happens. If you like it, great! If not, at least you can join in the debate.
