When I first heard about Twitter, I had 2 questions:
1) What is the point? Why should I use it?
2) What would I have to say that other people might find interesting?
I’ve been on Twitter for several months now. I don’t use it much, although I do feed my regular blog posts into Tweets. I have a handful of followers, mainly people I already knew in real life. I haven’t caught on yet to using Twitter much, but for what it’s worth, I haven’t got very far with Facebook yet either.
Anyway, Dr. Melissa Clouthier has a good article called The Five “I’s” to Twitter Success that helps to answer #2. I’m going to try to follow her tips and see how things go. She’s promised another article on the way to answer #1, and I’m waiting anxiously to see her opinion on that one.
What’s the point?
Without Twitter I’d not be able to experience (and laugh) at things like this or this!
Yet somehow with some folks their tweets are an online equivalence of an Elliot Reid rant.
