I have been a member of Twitter for quite some time now, but I am not a Twitter expert. I do not even have that many followers, and I have never used my Twitter account to send someone an email asking them to go to a website to buy something.
My Twitter report card even comes in at a 65%. There are sites where you can go and get your Twitter account rated. If your ego is easily bruised then maybe you do not want to do that.
Twitter is going to be given more press now that the rumor is out that Twitter is being bought by Google. Well, it is still a rumor, and I remember all the talk of Google buying Digg not all that long ago. Perhaps Google is only on another fact finding mission.
However, I have installed some Twitter widgets, and follow me buttons to my blog now so I can get to know how to use Twitter better. I even have 3 ebooks on Twitter where I am learning more. I have resale rights to those so eventually will list them here for sale. (YAY, you can buy a book from me!)
To Follow or Not To Follow that is the question. Whether it is better to gather thousands of followers from all walks of life, or is it better to go for quality or like-minded rather than random followings, that is the question? (See the question mark to prove it is a question.) That is the debate I am reading in the blogs around the internet written by people I have the highest regard for. Some even follow me on Twitter, too.
I have been reading a topic called Why I Suck At Twitter, and I have left on comment, but as I continue to read the following comments it only brings me more questions.
I read that topic yesterday after finding it on Twitter, and since commenting on it I have more people following me. That is really cool and exciting.
I took a poll asking if people followed me did I automatically follow them back. I thought did I manually do that, but without thinking. I thought it meant, did I make an automatic decision? I checked yes automatically. Then after reading more during the day I discovered that you can set something up to automatically (without you doing anything) choose to follow people who choose to follow you. I think that is cheesy! I at least like to look at their photo, and if I have time their profile.
As time permits I will add to my Twitter Reports, and hopefully I can help some new people along the way to have a happy Twitter experience. It is taking me far to look to figure out how to use it, but I know way more this week than I knew last week.
Stay tuned for my Twitter ebook reviews and your opportunity to get them. I am testing to see how valid the content is since I think the books have been around for a while.
