What do you use twitter for?

I have been using twitter for 2 years and I absolutely love it. I was not so active at first but am very prolific these days. It has helped me build my digital magazine's brand name to a great extent. First things first, I love socialising online. I make it a point to interact with people and learn a lot. A sociel media enthusiast, I have learnt a LOT from Twitter. I have about 1300 followers and have made about 9500 updates.And yes, I follow most of the links Twitter peeps post. It can be overwhelming, yes, but it's plain fun! :)

What's it? No idea. Only after a years of hesitancy i have joined orkut a few days back, to search new friends who are in line with the stock marketing activities. By the way, What's your orkut user name, please PM me.As i want to be in your friends list. Take care friend.

No i have not opened an account on twitter, although i have come across some who use it to for networking. Personally though i have found little use for it for either promoting or even online interaction. The main thing about a tool like this is the time an attention that it uses. In my personal opinion people who have the time for it and use it for the intention to market and promote will find it useful.

well did you know that if you have more than 50 followers on twitter then you can use twitter to make money through revtwt?? For more info on revtwt go to my profile page and join the first banner there... happy tweeting

Hi Mimpi, Just yesterday I joined that site - twitter, but believe me I know not what to do with that. Like you I have no such link to promote business. I think that is not my portion of the chicken.

I seem to always be behind the curve. I still have not investigated twitter. Myspace, then Facebook, now Twitter......I just don't know. Should I be keeping up with all these advances. The only thing I usually sign up for these things for is so I understand the jokes on TV/Radio.

There are so many messages on Twitter, I try to follow only people whose tweets I really want to read. I try to write stuff that's helpful or informative, so that people will actually want to read it... which is they same principle I apply to people I want to follow. Although there are millions of messages, you can use the search function to find posts that are interesting to you. I sometimes search for topics in the news I'm interested in or musicians I want to learn more about. As a writer, I use Twitter to post links to my blog posts, which definitely gets them more traffic than they would otherwise.

Hi Mimpi! I just could not understand properly, how does twitter work and how it can be beneficial to me. I am also not sure, how many actually read the links. I feel those who are our close friends, only go through our links to know about us.

I use twitter as a form of promotion tool also. But it seems that whilst these sort of sites work quite well in the beginning, they become too popular and all I tend to find it other users trying to sell to others who are also trying to sell their programs, blogs and website - I have been with Twitter since it was new to the web and found that whilst I have a lot of friends on there, it really doesn't make that much different to my on-line business any more. -Derek

i use twitter to rant. not many friends i know have my twitter account and those that follow me are strangers. hence i feel at ease to rant about stuff. other than that, i hardly use twitter much. one, i have to log into the page. it's not automatic for me.

Hi, my friend mimpi1911! sorry, haven't been around much, hope you are doing good. No, i haven't used twitter yet, though my daughter has invited me to use it. I think , i am going to check it out and tell you later, how i think about it. Good day, my friend.

I just started so I really cannot tell you much, however I am using it to build my network. I hope to build a decent network from myself.

I use twitter to attract visitors for my blog. I also earn thru twitter by answering survey questions....so for me, this site is really useful.

I use it for promoting my blog. It's of course also good for the seo of your site.

i am not a member of twitter,the primary factor is that i dont have time.now,i was in my parents place for some months,so i had free time on my hands,i dont think i will be able to give it proper time , once i go to my in-laws place.(this sunday)

I'm well aware of Twitter, but I'm not a user of it at all. I have no account there and don't frequent any other accounts either! I guess I'm one of those more conservative internet users it comes to the Facebook and Twitter type portals out there. You certainly never stop hearing about it though, that's for sure! The viral effects these sites manage to create never cease to amaze me.

I have a Twitter account which I opened a while ago when I was looking for ways to promote my blog but I can’t say I have ever used it. For me it is a matter of not having enough time to manage different sites. I am in Facebook and I seldom log in there, but I do so more often than Twitter. I wouldn’t’ know what to put in my updates anyway; my life is not that exciting!

I also have an account in twitter but i seldom use it.I have not been able to understand its working.There you follow people and people follow you and i have seen people writing about their daily routine and things of little relevance. I am still confused about its working.

hi mimpi, i am not really fond of using twitter but i used it to follow some contest blogs that gives prizes...

I use twitter to get extra entries on giveaways that I enter for. I also use it to get notiified when swagbucks.com comes out with swagcodes. I also am following someone who tweets about free stuff as they find it. Nobody reads my tweets, so it's not helpful for me to rant there or anything.
