Using Twitter to Connect With Your Peeps!

Are you on Twitter?

Some people use Twitter to spam others, some use it simply as a marketing tool. Others, use it as a personal journal but, I like many other bloggers are using it to connect with their audience.

When I introduce Twitter to a newbie the very first time, they always seem to say “I don’t get it” or “why would I use this”. To them its simply a underpowered blogging engine. But I always do a deal with them – to use it for a week and then tell me what they really think. And most of them get hooked.

See Twitter isn’t just a microblogging platform, its a simple yet extremely way to connect with you audience.

I use Twitter everyday for a number of purposes. First and foremost, I use it like the beefed up version of Yahoo Answers – I can blast out a question and within a minute or two I can get some great responses. Then I can use Twitter to follow what my fellow colleagues and bloggers are up to. But most importantly, I can stay connected to my readers and those who follow me, ask for feedback and see what they are doing.

But I also have a bit of fun – I like to giveaway domains, hosting etc. which always draws and crowd and is a bit of a hoot!

So if you’re not on Twitter yet, I recommend giving it a go. Give it a week or so and you may just start to see how valuable this site really is. You can follow me at twitter.com/feint

    When I first told my Mother about twitter she said the very same thing. She didn’t get it. I sent her the URL path and told her to check it throughout the day and she would understand why.

    I happen to be going on a road trip that day, so I would upload images and information about where I was and what I was seeing.

    When I got home that evening I called her. She was thrilled and happy and told me thank you! She also didn’t call me all day long because she knew what I was up to 🙂
