I’ve got a “follow me on Twitter” button, and considered the twitter blog. I get a few hits back and forth between the two, so it may be worth giving a shot.

We have a widget that shows our tweets on our DeskAway blog. Didn’t know about a twitter roll!

Twitter roll what a great idea. I always follow blogs more closely that have a blogroll because it leads me to more great content. Never had the idea to list some twitter people up there.

And in the end its about promoting others and they will promote you.

The idea of using twitter is to connect with others and try to bring them to your blog or website. why would i need to do backward?

I’m seeing quite a number of blogs displaying their Twitter (follow me button) above their RSS feed button now.

Using one’s blog to promote Twitter is a no brainer, as your “current following” will most likely want to follow you on your other networks as well. What better way to let your readers know about your 2nd lover. (so to speak) (lol) I don’t have a 2nd lover, just an expression.

Great post, love it. Added it to our @TouchBase link blog on business use of Twitter. Some related best practices:

People and brands with SERIOUS traffic — think celebrities, musicians, etc. should be publishing their Twitter content OFF of Twitter by using widgets and other tools. Bring the awesomeness of your Twitter stream to your broader audience.

For brands (and yes, celebrities, executives, etc.) that tweet, mentioning and linking to your Twitter presence prominently on your blog or website makes it clear that the account is authentic. Important considering the frequency of fakes & hoaxes…
