However my audience, albeit small expects these irrational blips from me and interacts accordingly. The ones that don't strike a conversation are usually the lurkers following you for spamtastic purposes. Unfortunately at times I can be very long winded so I will include a post to my blog, but usually when it provides value for my followers. In general I like to keep two way conversations/commentary flowing with all. Sometimes it's a tad difficult to keep up with, but I love it nonetheless. -Jaems I’ll be the first to admit to being a broadcaster at times.

I think the individuals that thrive on Twitter understand the community/networking/connecting relationshipping style through their tweets are the ones who become "influential". Bringing value and personality to their tweets. I appreciate it that you took the time to share such great Twit-sdom! ;) Timothy Carter http://ICommitToFitness.com I think this piece gave some real good perspective on the extremes that can be had in Twitter both in personality & tweetage.

I follow people who intrigue me or have an expertise or insight I don't have. Thanks to Twitter, I spend less time on crap -- more time on quality content. As a side benefit, I get some of my best chuckles from reading the "real life" tweets. It's a reminder that everybody's day can go in the toilet; we're all human!

It's, in general, what's happening. Yes, you can respond to what is happening, but I believe it is rather rude to carry on a conversation (unless using IM apps). Think of it this way. If you are giving a speech to fifty people and you then decide to get off the stage and start chatting with one person in crowd for a half hour. The audience can hear you over the microphone, but they can't hear the other half of the conversation. That is what you are doing to your followers.

I personally try to make it a mix of broadcast and conversation between co-workers, friends, new friends and peers. A great post and presentation on an interesting topic.

Thripp Sat, 08 Nov 2008 16:25:30 +0000 http://www.twitip.com/?p=92#comment-414 I tend to broadcast my latest blog posts, photos, eBay auctions, news, etc. What I've been doing recently is writing some short insight about them that's different than the title or just the first few words of the post. It makes my Twitter page different and more interesting (rather than being of no value to anyone who reads my blog), and it makes me think. Also, I'm talking more about what goes on in my life, tweeting interesting web pages I come across NOT created by me, following more people, and replying to their tweets. It's good to be balanced between being a broadcaster or a conversationalist, but whatever it is you are not allowed to be boring.
