Twitter, Twitter, Twitter!

Twitter, Twitter, Twitter!
Another software in the blogosphere that is all the buzz. In my minimal research of “Twitter”, I discovered that this “new” software has been around for awhile. Although, I have to admit, I had never heard of it before I started this blogging career. I am learning so much!
I have only been on Twitter for a few weeks. I have much to learn but so far I am gathering that this social network has many hands.
Twitter, first and foremost, is a social network. It is a means for friends, families and colleagues to stay connected - in 140 characters or less. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like that part or not, cause I kind of like to talk but yeah - it’s a good idea. 140 characters is all I have time for anyway.
Twitter can also be a medium for introducing or expanding your blog network. In the side panel your profile is listed along with your “followers”. I am a little skeptical about the reason some users having such a large ratio between “followers” and “following”. I don’t want to follow or have followers simply to have a large number showing. I also don’t want a “spammer” reputation.
Twitter is a medium for sharing and exchanging information. It is a good place to get answers and a good place to help someone with a topic they are struggling with. My plan is to interact with other bloggers, get to know some of them and their sites and hopefully they will want to get to know me and my site.
Twitter is also a means to drive traffic to your blog. Be Careful! Take your time. Build relationships - don’t just add followers. You don’t need to start your blog being known as a spammer.
What are your reviews of Twitter? What do you use it for?
I’ll post about Twitter again after I have had more experience with using it. But in the mean time “Follow me on Twitter”!
