Hi Masodo - saw you're now on Twitter (thanks for following, I am following back!). I find it works as a sort-of broadcast tool, if you will, telling people what's been updated. You need to repeat the same information over several tweets to give it sufficient reach, but it does work if the stats are anything to go by - i.e. I tweet about something and I get a response in terms of site/page views.

That said, I suspect the traffic generated via Feedburner etc is greater.

(Mind you, I find comparing server-side generated stats using SmarterStats almost impossible to compare to Google Analytics reports, so everything I say about traffic has to be couched carefully!)

"Conversationally", yes, it's limited and there's a lot of noise on there, but it can be good if you can find like-minded people. That said, of course it can be a terrible time-suck too!

Cheers

Creaky

Hiya Creaky thanks for stopping in and commenting about your twitter experiences.

I appreciate the follow and enjoy seeing your stuff in my following feed. I plan to use this to announce new posts and help my followers promote their stuff on occasion.

"Time Suck" is right [smiley:;)]

This blog does its own internal statistics collection (Geeklog GUS) so I don't mess with Google or SmarterStats (on this site at least.) I do know that BlogDogIt has enough varied content to bring them in from all over and I only hope this results in increased traffic to friends such as yourself.

I am not sure yet how Twitter is going to play into this game but all the cool kids seem to enjoy it and I do want to be one of the cool kids [smiley::D]

I am still in the clouds or possibly the Stone Age when it comes to Twitter. I have joined twice, forgotten where I am and who I am and why I was there. I'm glad you've taken the twitty plunge though because I think it will be a marvellous way for you to network. By the end of the month you'll have a trillion followers I should imagine ;)

Hi sonmicloud,

Thanks for leaving the good words.

It will be interesting to see where this all leads. Just this morning I added that "BlogDogIt [smiley:tweet] Followers" side-bar gimmick - a week ago I did not see that coming; yet I think it will be a nice addition to the site. If I end up with a trillion followers though I should think maintaining that slide show is going to be a bear [smiley:;)]

Just one more way to help the people network. All this I do for them. (Plus it keeps me off the streets - that has merit too.)
