Maybe its just me, but Twitter has actually made me work harder. Its a lot more feedback friendly than a blog because, unless you have detailed analytics on your site, you dont really know how many people are keeping tabs on you or who they are. But with Twitter, you can visibly see how many followers you have, and some of those followers, at least for me, tend to be people I look up to in the industry or admire. When you have people whom you respect and whose opinion you value over your shoulder, you tend to put your best foot forward, and that makes you more productive as an artist and business owner. How bout you? Any benefits of Twitter so far? 2009-05-25T07:48:41-04:00 10 2009-05-24T19:53:54-04:00 true 0 32171 false false 13245 1822 1 2009-11-21T05:10:37-05:00 272 i think unlike facebook and every other internet fad/trend, twitter is <b>actually</b> useful and helpful at the same time. its almost like a quick journal entry that everyone can see without drama/photos/biographies/layouts. however, it urks me when kids come up to me now and act all cool and say "yo do you have twitter? follow me dude". when i told people about it earlier, they were "wow that is really gay". 32171 Post 2009-05-24T19:56:50-04:00 905261 13245 2009-05-24T19:58:07-04:00 <blockquote><cite>inkemplete said:</cite> i think unlike facebook and every other internet fad/trend, twitter is <b>actually</b> useful and helpful at the same time. its almost like a quick journal entry that everyone can see without drama/photos/biographies/layouts. however, it urks me when kids come up to me now and act all cool and say "yo do you have twitter? follow me dude".</blockquote> Haha, yea I agree. I started my account and subscribed to people whom I admire, or companies that I look up to, and I left it at that, I didnt feel the need to blast at everyone and demand to be followed. Which makes it that much more meaningful when people do follow, because I havent asked them, so they must be genuinely interested in what I have to offer on my account. Which is worth signing up for Twitter just for that. 32171 Post 2009-05-24T20:00:33-04:00 905291 1822 2009-05-24T20:00:33-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Quest said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>inkemplete said:</cite> i think unlike facebook and every other internet fad/trend, twitter is <b>actually</b> useful and helpful at the same time. its almost like a quick journal entry that everyone can see without drama/photos/biographies/layouts. however, it urks me when kids come up to me now and act all cool and say "yo do you have twitter? follow me dude".</blockquote> Haha, yea I agree.

"follow me follow me yo!" "haha, i wouldn't follow you if twitter was a conga line" 32171 Post 2009-05-24T20:04:27-04:00 905331 13245 2009-05-24T20:04:27-04:00 http://twitter.com/mattFOO Twitter is a great social marketing tool. 32171 Post 2009-05-24T20:56:52-04:00 905661 6901 2009-05-24T20:56:52-04:00 i get asked to "sex text" alot on twitter.... i dont know what that means in twitter world. 32171 Post 2009-05-25T01:15:19-04:00 907461 6247 2009-05-25T01:15:19-04:00 never even thought about getting one, i dunno. doesn't really interest me maybe I should. probably won't though 32171 Post 2009-05-25T01:34:37-04:00 907551 12198 2009-05-25T01:34:37-04:00 I use both Twitter and Facebook and I post stuff to both of them but I must say I think facebook is much more personal and I do read the stuff other people post on Facebook.
