Great post. I used to use Twitter solely for broadcasting for my sites 4Layouts.com and theWebmastersPlace.com. Never got any significant traffic from it though. Now I am trying to mix it up (after reading this article), start interacting with other posters and retweeting others links. I’ll let you all know if that changes much for me.

I only use twitter for news and gossip and also to catch up on friends.
Don’t give out personal information like where you live or your phone number as in every community there are always bad people lurking around.

The uprising and popularity twitter is getting is unbelieveable. I remember a year ago you never saw a tv station or celebriting twittering. In just one year everybody is using twitter. This includes all business like sportscenter and local news networks.

I have not been able to get into twittering. To be honest I do not understand it yet. I am really eager though to get started with it and learn some techniques for building followers.

This is great food for thought – thank you!
I like to follow people who post interesting links, but who will also take the time to respond to people. On the other hand, twitter users who just chit chat exclusively annoy me. They fill up my twitter screen with fluff and bury the useful twits.

Variety is the spice of life.

Not sure who said this but I feel it sums it up when talking about using Twitter. I have 5 twitter accounts and use primarily one of them @mollermarketing. The others I set up to protect the names. I plan to use them mostly for broadcasting new posts and to build “numbers” for advertising options later on. (If I can tell a potential advertiser that I have over X followers on my blog/twitter account, that has some merit I think.)

Thanks for the insights…

I can’t add to the conversation other than saying like you, Darren, I have two accounts. One is my personal account, linked above.

The other is @ariwriterdotcom which is a broadcast-only feed of my blog’s content like you do for the photo entries.

I rarely tweet about the broadcast feed, yet it builds organic momentum due to a link on the blog.

Other than some Boston-centric feeds, I follow no broadcasts. But I provide a broadcast for those who want it.

In my opinion it is OK since after all the blog/site that you are linking to is satisfying a need.
Bu conversation is much better.

Hi
I always thought it was strange how people who don’t follow anyone,go to other people’s blogs,leave comments on other people’s blog,respond to their emails have such huge followings.
It doesn’t make sense. I like the technology of twitter but have found most people on there to be snobs so I just have it set up to auto twit my post.I’m looking for regular cool people to interact with not snobs so I don’t care much about Twitter one way or another. I rather keep it real and loose the so called celebs. 2009 is the year of the Underdog Check out the stats of some of the so called well known people their DUST People who think it’s all about them are in for a rude awakening.

Twitter isn’t a broadcasting tool?

I wrote a post ‘What are You Doing Using Twitter?’ and some have told me my ideas are slightly rogue which I absolutely love hearing.

Question from someone on Twitter: “Twitter, what do you guys like best about it?”

My answer: you can legally stalk others…Actually you can get an insider of what makes people tick. This is my online mastermind group. (i.e.; other bloggers)

I think it’s always okay to broadcast on Twitter that is what it is for.
