Why You Should Be On Twitter?
You have heard it before and I’m sure you will hear it again – Twitter is an absolute must for your promotional efforts, at least right now. It is not only the hottest social network but also a wealth of real time information. Granted – constantly changing nature makes it nearly impossible to find that information but if you use favorites – you can save good info for future use!
Here is list of Informational posts I have shared with my followers and saved as favorites to ensure I don’t loose them:

That is actually a very good point Alex, even though I would want to use it in the opposite way. Because of Twitters ever changing character I prefer the more static websites. At least it is easier (to me) to find stuff again

I found myself difficult to adapt to the fast changing twitter. I have been digging around and researching about Twitter, and I can understand why it is a must have. The question is how to use twitter to its full potential?
Hi
I’ve tried to get into Twitter but there’s something I’m just not getting. It just seems so pointless

Thanks for the tip on loginlockdown plugin. It should put my mind at is to some extent.
As to the usefulness of twitter, well, I do think it has some value. Even John Chow uses it to the max. I do have a presence in twitter but I’m still learning the best use for it.

OMG, if I stumble another “why you should Twitter” page I may vomit. Seriously, quit justifying why you are hanging out in a chatroom every day. I swear, the next person that says Twitter to me is getting punched in the face.
Buzzy´s last blog ..Get us out of D.C.
I find Twitter to be difficult to get on board with. Social Media requires interaction, and unless I can have more of a dedicated resource, I just feel like I’m shouting into the darkness and rarely contributing to others.

Hi Alex!
Good article.

As I see you post to twitter through ping.fm
Do you have plugin instaled on your blog to sent new post to ping.fm ? What is name of that plugin?
Or you type messages on ping.fm post page?
I am trying to setup some plugins to post automatically.
No success!
