After looking at the blog after a week of Twitter Tools running I have decided to stop the daily publishing. My blog looks like a random mind dump from Twitter, rather than anything to be proud of. This will only be exacerbated when the Twitter Updater (FaceBook application) is repaired.
As such I have revised the schedule to produce one consolidated post per week.
I currently ‘follow’ around 700 people, which is towards the upper end of my tolerance. At that number, a message will scroll off my screen, to be replaced by others, in about a minute. In order to follow that many people, I have to accept that I won’t see every message that people post. Instead, I dip in and out every so often, check the last few messages posted and look for trends.
Following people using Twitter has potential. I’m trying to harness this to drive traffic to my website.
I think the sun has just come out !! so this Twitterer world is just quick updates as to what you are doing !
Please excuse me for being odd….but is there a point ? is not a proper blog post better ?
How can you blog so much? I follow around 50 blogs and visit many that have good points. I would rather write something that is well written and flows. However, if you have alot to say…then say it.
The crazy format of Twitter posts doesn’t help the readability either. Readying 40 tweets in a row makes my brain hurt.
Good Idea. There are lots of tools to pull from twiiter to a blog or from a blog to twitter. But they fail to realize they are not the same. That is that is why twitter came about.
I like ping.fm and tweetlater.com … what are some other free tools related directly to TWITTER that you use and why?
I was about to say… when I reached your homepage and just found a bunch of random tweets that had seemingly little to do with one another, I thought “wow, this is kind of a poor use of post count.” Consolidating would seem a much better idea, although it appears you haven’t been doing even weekly posts for the past few months now…
You took a good decision friend! Weekly aggregate dumping of twitter entires must be avoided. Tuning tools are better.
Hi
I`ve +1k Twiter followers but i cant see the benefits of twiter besaids knowing the news on time …
Thank you for interesting information! I’ve reached my knowledge!
Good move, I played around with having a daily or weekly roundup of my tweets, but didn’t feel that it added any real value to my blog and so got rid of it in the end – it made my blog look rather insubstantial IMHO
