Sometimes we use twitter to vent, to rave, or to just talk. I've connected with some authors I really admire via twitter. Plus it's real time. I don't look at twitter as another blog platform though, except as a place to post a link to my latest post which takes five seconds to link. Also, according to google analytics I average around 60 hits per post which come in from twitter.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-90506756366401092512010-02-28T07:45:30.178-08:002010-02-28T07:45:30.178-08:00EH---how do you get it to feed like that?

It's basically just another way to draw people in. You do need to talk about other things to though. <br /><br />(I just noticed that you have the Jane background that I was deliberating over for a month ) Love it!Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807694977896968928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-61864569213331424752010-02-27T22:10:25.226-08:002010-02-27T22:10:25.226-08:00I didn't get the whole idea of Twitter either,...I didn't get the whole idea of Twitter either, but now I have an account and I'm really liking it. I like that I can have conversations with bloggers in real time, as opposed to commenting back and forth on posts. I also like it because I can converse with authors on there, where otherwise they wouldn't even know I existed. So, like Emily said, it's just another way to network and get to know people better. <br /><br />Maybe you should give it a try. Say 30 days, and if you don't see any benefits just cancel the account. But you'll never know if you like or don't like it until you actually try it. That's just my two cents. ;-)Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129603520678400147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-85670670135815095652010-02-27T20:27:27.668-08:002010-02-27T20:27:27.668-08:00Becky-EXACTLY!

Then yesterday my mother spoke to an author who was interested in doing an author interview, but asked that I contact her on twitter. I dont have a twitter account, nor have I ever even considered getting one. Now I am thinking that I should - but like you Amy, it seems to me like I would have to do everything twice?Rebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-76541721136736324142010-02-27T19:14:00.037-08:002010-02-27T19:14:00.037-08:00I just don't think I am getting my brain wrapp...I just don't think I am getting my brain wrapped around the whole thing. What is so funny is my mom and I don't understand that if this country is in such need of money, why don't they just go print some more and pay off the debt??

I don't know if it's made a difference one way or another for traffic purposes but for me it's definitely fun and a way to find out about contests/interesting posts/whatever.

I also list all my blog posts on there for people who don't follow my blog to see the links. <br /><br />I talk with people on there, back and forth, other bloggers and authors. It's easy. It's just like chatting but you can also just post status updates or you can reply to someone elses update. Its kinda cool. <br /><br />If you get one my twitter name is ssalach21<br /><br />:)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478149489714597517noreply@blogger.com
