It's nice to interact with those people who aren't necessarily commenters. The other great thing about twitter is being able to reach a bigger audience– and getting to see who is following you.

I know lots of people are using it in a lot of interesting ways for promotion and networking and I want to get in on it at some point. Neale I will for sure be in touch. QR I put it off for ages too and now I really enjoy checking up. I'm sure I will be picking your brain at some point about BA if you don't mind. Ya I think I'm a wee bit hooked too.

So far, I've been using it mostly to follow my favorite travel blogs and travel related sites. I agree with Irish polyglot, there's huge potential for blog promotion and networking on twitter. It's also kind of addictive as well. :-) I’ve been on twitter for just a few days now (cultoftravel). So far, I’ve been using it mostly to follow my favorite travel blogs and travel related sites.

Also, I linked twitter to my facebook status update, and I have my close friends’ status updates come through my RSS feed reader. It helps me keep up to date with friends and let them know how I’m doing, while almost never actually logging in to that time-sucking blackhole It’s also a very popular blog promotion tool, and amazing for networking - I “followed” some people I found interesting and they followed me back likewise and we talk regularly now. And people I’m a fan of or good friends of, I actually am interested in the mundane things they do every hour... :P Yet another use that’s popular is to pose a question that’s on your mind to your followers and to the community in general. You get some amazing answers very quickly. I’ve only been using it for a couple of months, but I find it a very useful tool to be honest. If anyone would like to add me, here is my <a href="http://twitter.com/irishpolyglot" rel="nofollow">English</a> version (although you and I have been following eachother already Kirsty ;) - I tweet about interesting places I travel to and things related to my blog and other curiosities. It’s a sort of outlet for “microblogging” so you don’t have to clog your actual blog with small things you want to get off your chest etc. The character limit is what makes it such a great tool really.
