I’ve found twitter to be extremely useful recently. I got encouraged after reading a blog of @WarrenWhitlock and decided to give it a go.

I’ve met some superb people especially @thefluffanutta who helped me and inspired me with Squidoo. As a practical consequence I have started a group. http://www.squidoo.com/groups/goodadvice

Last but not least, thanks for the mention above.

Thank you for commenting.

Interestingly, Twitter has turned for me into a very interesting tool. Let’s see how things develop over time.

The “social” aspect of Twitter can be overwhelming in a blog, which is why I gave it a try, still wondering whether to continue with it or not. It will still be there, but in the background.

In my opinion, Twitter can serve two separate purposes: one is to keep a more instantaneous social face than Facebook, because you are directly broadcasting to people (a little like IM), which is why the Twitter Updates (Hello’s, more personal interaction…) is useful but non essential. But it can also be used as a way of documenting your professional activity, then why not use it?

That being said, I love using Twitter to stay abreast of everything happening. Just added my Twelcome page yesterday!

I’m new to Twitter too but I’m discovering the same advantages you are - especially the possibility of talking to other professionals with similar interests.

I think you’ve taken the right decision as far as Twitter on your blog goes - I’ve been setting mine up over the last month or so (nearly finished!) and have thought about whether or not to include Twitter updates.

I didn’t think it would add anything to my blog for readers who have no idea what Twitter is or who haven’t been following the conversations. I decided just to place a Twitter image in my sidebar that links to my Twitter page. Anybody that knows what it is, or is curious, and wants to join in will know what to do.

Having blogged and Twittered, I think they’re definitely different mediums which serve different needs and even produce different types of conversations, even though Twitter is often described as ‘microblogging’.

¡Enfin, un saludo!
