Interesting post. I have tried and think I am successful in creating a mix between using Twitter the right way, vs using Twitter as a promotional tool. I don’t link to everything I do, but I do link to articles I spent quite a bit of time writing because I look forward hearing some sort of feedback, or to start a conversation on Twitter.

I use TwitBin which allows me to see my Friends Twitter messages within my browser sidebar allowing me to continue the conversation easily while also being able to post a tweet. I too, don’t use Twitter so much as to say what I am doing at the moment, I generally Tweet random thoughts, or I respond to someones question, or I try my best to start a conversation.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I never seem to get people involved in the topics I bring up. Maybe I should use the new search feature of Twitter and add all kinds of Web 2.0 specific people to my watchlist.

I have said it a million times, I love twitter. It’s by far my favorite social tool. I follow 3 types of people: friends, local people, and people I find interesting or find me interesting. That last one I guess could be split into two but I classify it as “interest”. If someone @’s me on something I say or has commented on my blog via a tweet I sent then they obviously want to have a convo with me, so I follow. I currently follow 204 people and It’s its rare that I see things in their that I don’t like or care about. Keep on Tweetin yo!

Hey Chris, while I enjoy your Tweets that ask deep questions about our psyche, most of the time I don’t reply or comment via Twitter because I imagine you’re overwhelmed by all the responses.

I want to have a dialog some times but feel its difficult to get my voice over the top of all your followers.

So I occasionally speak up, but most of the time I just enjoy reading what you have to say. I hope I’m not cut off for just enjoying what you have to say.

I think people are still making value-based judgment calls about Twitter (and the people who use it) without realizing that Twitter is a blank slate. It’s a tool. It’s a cypher, which each of us uses in our own way.

To say “Twitter works / doesn’t work” misses the point: what you mean is, “The WAY I’m using Twitter works / doesn’t work FOR ME.” If it isn’t working, switch it up.

Don’t hit nails with the claw end of the hammer.

Out of all the Stateside marketing professionals I always found your stuff the most human. But your tweets aren’t for me.

I’d rather have a handful of comrades on Twitter (I have) than a thousand “”followers”".

Twitter blows me away by its reach, its mix of relevance and irrelevance, and variety of people I have ‘met’ and thoroughly enjoy getting to know over time.

Its like life. I don’t have time to take it all in, but when I stick my head up above my ‘desk’, it’s nice to see all y’all out there. :)

I’m 100% guilty of tweeting travel progress – and I need to trim that back a good bit. But with things like twittermap.com, it sure was fun to follow @mosqueda across the country. :)

Anyway, keep Tweetin’ just like you’re doing Chris. Sometimes it makes me think, sometimes its good for smile.
