Very simple question here: How do you guys use twitter?

Are you using it for shamelessly promoting your blog, building relationships, driving traffic, building a reputation, etc...?

I think it should be interesting to see how everyone's using it so we can share some failure/success experience

I personally use it to build relationships, reputation and drive some traffic.

I use it in a couple of ways. As a form of instant messaging for friends in my Twitter group, as a way to let folks know about new posts, a general way to meet others...

Mostly as a social networking/hanging out sort of thing. If you get yourself a nice group of Tweeters, it can be a lot of fun.

I use twitter strictly for chat and for posting links to my newly published posts. When I first used it I was overwhelmed with tweets from members who were posting stuff that did not interest me in the least. I cut the number of followers I had and the number of members I followed in half and protected my tweets. I did this to avoid suffering social media meltdown onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/ten-causes-of-social-media-meltdown/

You may want to post to the BC twitter groups. There are 11 of them.

I use it for a lot of things. I posts updates often and have my updates appear on the sidebar of my site www.JoeySikes.com . I use my iPhone to do the updates so whenever I'm out and about I can update quickly. Then, whenever I make a new post to my blog at my site I also make a post about it. Lastly, I use it to network with people to drive a little bit of traffic.

I actually just wrote a blog post pertaining to the strategies I'm using for Twitter. Let me know what you think:

I use it mainly to post links to my new posts. But I also check posts of other people especially if the title is catching and to my interest.
