excellent post. The comments are just as helpful. A funny thing happened within a few days of using twitter. I found myself “staging” events that were worth twittering, now it’s a habbit, and I’m A WHOLE LOT LESS likely to whine about a bad day

Really insightful article – and great comments! I once checked out a profile of a new follower and clicked onto his blog. His philosophy on Twitter was that if a person had very many @replies on their profile page, he WOULDN’T follow that person – “because they’re missing the whole point of Twitter”.

I left there scratching my head and wondering how the hell this gentleman could think that @replying to people is missing the whole point of Twitter. I must admit, he was a little bit older, and clearly formulated his Twitter philosophy around the “what are you doing?” text box.

But I wholeheartedly agree with the wonderful ability to converse on Twitter – but there are times to broadcast too. I live in a small up-and-coming city, and have rounded up a great group of Twitter users who come to Tweetups I organize by both broadcasting things of value and @replying.

Its a fun tool. Just using some common sense (business sense- and personal), having respect for your followers, and having fun makes Twitter such an awesome app. Thanks for your take on this subject!
