Many people and bloggers use the Twitter Social Networking service, I am just learning to use it and determine how it can be of value. Obviously I have no followers, and not many friends just casual readers of my blog. I have decided to setup some “Follow Me On Twitter” logo’s on both this site and my primary site Dragon Blogger. I drew these logo’s from the Twitter homepage.
I will update twitter as often as I can based on how many people show interest in following my moves on twitter. This is a little social networking experiment. I do follow my friend “Damien Riley” on twitter and its nice to see that he gives twitter updates fairly frequently.
So how many of my blog friends use twitter, does it help with your blog promotion, or do you use it more for your closer friends?

Another way to find apps for Twitter is by checking out the latest tweets of your peeps. You’ll see many of them that read: “sent by TwitterFeed” etc. Then you check out those apps to see if they work for you. I liked Twitteroo for a year or so but it just got clumsy with two apps for Twitter. Now I just post direct or via “socialmatic.com” If anybody wants to follow me, I’m linked up top.

I just started using twitter about 5 days ago. I am using it purely for blog networking, none of my friends use it. I’m enjoying it and finding it helpful already. What helped for me was a website called TwitterMoms, which obviously wouldn’t be for you. There is a search on Twitter that you can put in key words to search for people with similar interests as you.
This is my twitter page if you want to follow me https://twitter.com/jenwag57 Even if you don’t, all of the people I am following are bloggers so you might want to go there and look at them
Hi Justin
I think Twitter can be of great value to an online business.
I personally use Twitter as a way of updating my followers as to my achievements or goals, useful snippets of information, interesting web links or simple asking a question or opinion of my followers.
There are also so many great applications as well that can be used, my favourites are listed on my own article “Twitter your Business Tweeple! What are you doing?”
