BlogDogIt now to give a tweet.

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]
