Twitter: Is There Really Something To It?

My involvement with the Black Ink Project has led me to Twitter.

Jeremy Palmer recommended that all participants in BIP follow him on Twitter, along with a course specific blog, to stay updated on developments in the program.

Actually, I’ve seen references to Twitter all over the place lately. It seem to be escalating. “Everyone” seems to be recommending it as an excellent tool for marketing. Since it’s Web 2.0 social marketing, though, the value is in the connecting with others over time and what can come from that, rather than direct selling.

I’m starting to have fun with it. Other “tweeters” are following me, and some have made comments. I’m enjoying the contact and look forward to seeing how it develops.

Now, I’m not sure if “tweeters” is a correct term or not. I got an ebook on Twitter through my Earn1KaDay membership and I’m reading that to learn what makes Twitter tick. I move so much faster when I can get the “how to” without just tons of trial and error. True of most people, I hope.

I’ve heard there’s a Twitter widget available for the side bar on a blog. I’ll check into that and get it on here when I can.

If you’re on Twitter, make contact — I’ll follow you back. You’ll find me at twitter.com/yellowdog.

That’s it for now.
