When I got back on for the first time 8 months later: I started using it to learn how to use it. I thought it was for self promotion and blog advertising. A way to follow people’s updates about their websites.

Once I got into an argument with Aloha Arlene: I started using it to be more social than blog/business.

Once I realized I was getting less followers because I was spitting out personal stuff: I stopped being on twitter every day.

I know that Twitter is suppose to be a social platform where people connect. And I’m not denying that it does just that. But people are still too quiet. They’re still too closed off. Twitter would be perfect for social networking if people were more social.

I see it as a social business network versus a personal social network. People want and they want a lot. And to be honest, I dont think internet users are very interesting in knowing what coffee you drink, unless you blog about coffee.

Those I follow are :
- Bay Area people to find out and share what’s going on in our neck of the woods
- people in my industry
- people who inspire
- people involved in church ministry
- people involved in helping/advising small businesses in social media and blogging
- people who share similar values

I tweet about all these things, and also “listen” to others’ tweets about all these things. I am looking forward to engaging with these folks IRL (in real life) at local tweetups.

I don’t see a need for having a separate business account at this time.

I absolutely LOVE learning and sharing valuable information and twitter makes it quick and easy.

But, on the weekend for the first time on Twitter I shifted my tweeting over to my personal account. Most of you might be aware that there was a bit of commotion on the Twitter radar in the form of the #fisting hashtag. My first thought was, well, there’s a lot of Australians in on this, who seem to have a healthy interest in tech, so I’ll see if I can’t connect with a few people.

Fun as it was, and it was for the most part fun (before the bots got into the whole shebang), with a fair bit of clever thrown in, I made the switch over to my little-used personal account. The right decision I feel, plus it forced me to be a little more active with with followers and followings on that other account, and now I have a nice little niche of people, and I get to use a variation of my voice on Twitter.

I had see one twitter user that its a satellite, its use it to report in which part of the space according to the earth he are, that was really funny for me.

But juts how i state in you don’t like twitter what are you doing there or never the less why you fallow some one that you don’t care what he say

Than you for the pots.

Furthermore, this is the first actual Social Network site that I’m using for business, so we’ll see how it goes, so far so good. I’ve had a few blog announcement posts retweeted and getting marginal increase in traffic.
