Weekend Thread: Do You Use Twitter?

By on February 19, 2011 in Administrivia

I’ve cleaned my Twitter feed and am now following almost no one. Do you use Twitter? Put your Twitter name below and I’ll follow you.

If you don’t use Twitter, or have questions about it, leave your question below and I’ll try to answer it.

One randomly selected commenter will receive a free copy of the DVD Candy Man: The David Klein Story. The documentary tells the story of the man who invented Jelly Belly jellybeans. Last week’s winner of the $20 Amazon gift certificate was Lew Rosemblum.

    @DefunktShirts: I use twitter but it seems the medium is sputtering a bit. Facebook is sucking in all of the traffic.

    Just followed you! I presume you’re going to use it to converse and interact than just sharing links henceforth? :)

    Not sure how to get on or use Twitter ??

  • http://www.pavpacksales.webs.com janita

    Yes, I do use Twitter, but not extensively and not use I didi in the past. It is an Autobonne now and it seems no one is really listening to the other.

    I am a long time BOWN subscriber and love sending your info to other people. Hope they are subscribing.

    I am on Facebook and Twitter and use FB everyday but am not sure how to use Twitter. I saw the Kickstarter article on
    here and have been preparing a video to start a small business. I am a single
    senior on a fixed income and have been unemployed for over a year now. I came up with an idea and am really excited about getting it funded to become a viable business. Life is a beautiful thing and your contribution makes it even more so. Thanks for all your information. I am @marjistone

    Twitter keeps getting larger Twitter > Facebook

    Thank you, Dane, for this great, and yes, addictive website that is a fountain of information for those of us who are interested in business opportunities and related articles. Never a dull post. I am a mini tweeter, trying to post at least 3 tweets a day related to my business. The conversion rate is almost non-existent. My question is, “What makes a tweet interesting enough that your followers want to click through to your website?” Am now following most of you, but Twitter jammed up on me. Will try later. Autobonne? I think so.
    Cheers,
    @SmartDogLady

    Congratulations to Lew Rosemblum for his brilliant question about businesses that kids can start.

    @bret323

    Thanks Dane for a great news feed!

    I use twitter mainly to promote my son’s music videos. So far our small town of Sanford NC doesn’t have many twitter users. My other social networking is to promote our animal hospital http://www.willowcreekanimalhospital.net. My wife is a veterinarian. Ironically, my product design consulting business that I thought would need the social presence to generate clients – has been doing fine on referrals.

    Hello,

    I often post links to your blog on Twitter. I’d like to know if you were unfollowed after unfollowing others. What’s the reason for cleaning out your Twitter feed.
