What can Twitter do for me?

[Mike(VA)]

Is there any use for it if I don't have text messaging on my phone? I dropped tm when I got too much porn I didn't want. Is that the only avenue to use Twitter?

I just posted two links here (http://www.remodelcrazy.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1963&postcount=12) you might like.

Saw them, thanks.

I just took a review from a customer off a directory ad, posted it on my Facebook business ad and Twitter.
Both my FB and Twitter do have a lot of local connections not paint related, be curious to see how it pans out.

I personally don't get the appeal of twitter. Remodel crazy is on there and we will see how it goes.

I think it is too time consuming. If your following 30-40 people how could you possibly keep up with that many tweets.

Do I really want to know what your doing every hour on the hour?

[RCP]

That is how I felt about when I started. Think of walking thru a cocktail party and a bunch of conversations are going on, you only pay attention to what you are interested in.
I only follow people that share the same interest/hobby as I.
Once or twice a day I scan my tweets, most are links or little nuggets of info.
I rarely see anyone (ok maybe MCHammer) posting "I am eating a bowl of cereal".

I dont think the average person really gives a damn what a painter is doing right now. So Twitter wouldnt do much for me as far as I can tell.

To use twitter to your advantage you have to create a following instead of following every one else. = )

I understand that logic but what am I going to tweet about everyday or every couple of the days that is really worthy of someones time.

I tried to follow about 8 people and it was overwhelming to me.

I might just be old and out of touch but it was a networking tool that was hard to justify using

If Paul makes a Twitter for his magic rainbow snake skin boots I will follow it daily, otherwise I really aint up anyones ass enough to care what they are doing 24/7

We are holding a big event on the 30 day mark that the site was launch the magic boots will be the grand prize, get your tickets early

No shit, who has time for all that. I do not want to know when Modern drops a duce. I just really dont have any interest in any of those sites.

[ModernStyle]

Paul will never give them up, he is a true cowboy and will die with his boots on.

Think of twitter as a party. Tweet about crazy stuff that happens throughout the day and you will gain a following.

Today I rolled a tan wall ..........
Then I did it again .........

[RCP]

Ok, Modern, let's try an experiment. I just made a twitter account for painting. (My other one is not paint/business related)

Let's see what happens! :)

Heh. I like Twitter. Almost every design magazine has a Twitter account and I find useful information on latest trends and write-ups as they happen. I've linked it to my blog, so readers can get the information as well.

I do NOT post my dietary ramblings. Ew.
