Long term, I will probably have to choose between it and other social sites I am currently active on, but I can see how twitter might win out over others. Chris,

I have been invited to join Twitter by a few people, but said no because like many comments above, I didn't need another time waster. But I can see the non-social aspects you've presented as being very benefitial, Chris. Christian's application of this technology is interesting as well. I want to take the time to read Caroline's guide; sounds like it's helped a lot of people! How much time do you think one must spend with Twitter to have it be a worthwhile source of both information for you and traffic for your blog?

I signed up for Twitter about 6 months ago and really forgot about it. I've gotten a couple people to follow me recently so I've decided to revisit it. Work's been so hectic, I've not had much time to pay due diligence to most of my own personal social networks which I realize I need to get back on track. Being an internet marketer myself, helping others utilize social networks is part of my job, so I need to start being better at leading by example! Thanks again.

In my blog Classrooms Without Borders(84chesterave.spaces.live.com) I asked why people Twitter. I honestly don't understand the appeal of this product, but I want to learn. I started to Twitter and think it may help my blog. My blog, in addition to helping people learn English as a Second Language (mainly through writing) also contains many of my thoughts about whatever is of interest to me. Twittering allows me to post short thoughts that are not developed enough for a blog post but interesting enough to read. I'm also writing a short story about a character that uses Twitter and will share it on my blog when it is ready. Hmmm, maybe if you are a spy you can use Twitter to transmit messages that seem harmless but if you know the code, conveys important information. Guess I'm in my James Bond mindset. :) A very timely article for me. In my blog Classrooms Without Borders(84chesterave.spaces.live.com) I asked why people Twitter.
