Seems to be the hot new thing. Notice all the news cable shows are using it, local news, etc?
Thoughts?
I am at Steadivest, llc if anyone else is using it.

I like twitter because it allows me to stay on top of the latest news for the sites I like to go to. I used to get newsletters in my email but it filled it up so much, I couldn't keep up! Now, I can just go to twitter and check out the latest news for the sites and also people to keep in touch with. Hope that helps!
p.s. I think the twitter group here is great, it's a good source of help and info. My twitter is mobilehomegurl. :)

I use Twitter on a regular basis, it's a great way to make friends and build traffic to a website. I actually met a local realtor who wholesaled us a property. We got a great deal and he made $7K in a week.

What am I missing....something may come out of this that is actuallly useful to me, but as of the last time I tried it made no sense to look at a bunch of twittering tweets

Mike, I feel your pain and am working at trying to figure this Twitter thing out.
I have some friends who have told me it is a great way to drive traffic to your website and make connections.
To me, it looks like even social networking has taken a turn for the lazy! :lol:
However, every single time I turn on the TV, I am seeing people talking about Twitter! Everyone from P Diddy to John McCain!!! So there must be something to it!!
I have pages on most of the major social network sites, and the only ones where I have seen value are:

The twitter web interface is very lacking.
To get the most from Twitter you need to use something like TweetGrid or TweetDeck. I use TweetDeck and follow the #tcot, #realestate #investing and #investment streams.
It's kind of like a big wide open chatroom and the hash tags like #tcot help group things together.

Glad to see you on Twitter, Harrison! I've found it pretty beneficial to keep up with news and articles on the sites that I frequent. It's a pain to be getting all these article newsletters in my email box everyday!

We joined Twitter (mysquarefeet) and quickly have about 70+ people following me. I find it drives traffic to the site, and the best way to get more people to follow you is to follow them. It also distributes our new blog postings.
I am not sure that this will help make us money, but more hits to our site helps our ranking. We use Facebook too, but I don't find that as useful for business.
