Using Twitter to Attract more Readers

Author: Alenchik Litvinenko | Posted at: Thursday, August 27, 2009 | Filed Under: twitter followers |

Have you caught on to the Twittermania? :) I got a new phone the other day, the new HTC Hero. In a few words, its a great phone and it has this twitter widget that you have on your home screen, so you have access to see all your tweets all the time and update your friends...

So I just thought I would get some opinion on how great this twitter thing is and what benefits I can get out of it!

I know that its the hottest thing on the net right now and everyone is using it as a method of marketing, but frankly speaking I still have not figured out what is so great about and how I can put this little tool to use!

So OK its great that I can update my friends with what I'm doing, but I have all my friends on Facebook and you can do the same thing there by updating your status...

So Feel free to share and tell me what you think!

Yeah, I have Twitter, but to be honest I'm not really sure I get it...Like you, I just see it as one more way to update my status - like on Facebook. I do have my blog posts automatically tweeted, using Friendfeed, and I've gotten a little bit of extra blog traffic that way (a LITTLE bit), so I guess that's good, right?

I have a twitter account but mostly just use it as a "group chat" versus marketing or for blog readership.

I think it can be a useful tool if you run searches and follow people in a smart way, because ultimately if they follow you back they will inevitably read your blog at least once.
