I'm trying to use it since I started an account back like 2 years ago (I checked today and counting today's tweet, I'm up to 5 tweets). Seriously though - what do you tweet about? I feel like I don't like an interesting enough life to actually tweet anything. Do you want to know when I go to the gym? Or what I eat? Or what I'm looking at online? And then there's direct messaging to individual people. And retweeting. And the "@" symbol.
I have to admit, I'm a little overwhelmed by it all.
Enlighten me people (and then follow me on twitter @cbkingery because it's a lot like blogger... makes you feel special when your "follower" list grows - yeah, I have 5 followers to match my 5 tweets).
I lose enough precious time in my day with FB and Blogging. Those two aside, I have banned all other social networking sites. No tweet for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't twit. Blogging is enough for me:) And yes, people twit about everything, what they eat, what they do, every thought that goes through their mind. I think it would be addictive to me.
ReplyDeleteSorry...I don't use twitter! It's just one more thing that I really don't have the time for!
ReplyDeleteI just follow a few people on Twitter, like Conan, Lance, and a few other pro cyclists & triathletes. I have facebook as well. Talk about too many people to keep up with!
ReplyDeleteI don't do the twitter. When all the celebs were doing it and the entertainment shows would repost their tweets about eating and watching tv, I just thought it was stupid. Like their egos aren't big enough. For regular people, it seems like their are enough other ways for us to keep up with eachother!
ReplyDeletei like it, i want to use it more effectively, but it's so darn hard. Every time I log in there are literally hundreds of new tweets...
ReplyDeleteLike you I have a twitter account but I rarely use it. I got the account so I could "follow" our work account and give us more followers.
ReplyDeleteI will go add you to my twitter list!
I used to tweet (mostly followed politics & work related stuff). Since I've been unemployed... lost interest. :) FB & blogging are enough!
ReplyDeleteI tweet, just ramblings, I do use it to find out about impromtu rides and events from the people I ride with. Sometimes, there are friendly trash talking wars between athletes, those are entertaining if your sitting at home bored. If you want some Ohio tweeters, let me know and I will forward them to you
ReplyDeleteI tweet. I use the account for my business mostly. I see other bloggers out there and have twittervastions with them.
ReplyDeleteIt is overwhelming and a lot of times I don't open it until I have an announcement to make and then leave it open.
@MMNorthDallas
Same here as what a lot of people have said- between FB and blogging, I just don't have time for it.
ReplyDeleteI occasionally drop in on Sh*t My Dad Says twitter page, because I find it HILARIOUS. (http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays)
I'm a social media manager so Twitter is a huge part of my job. I'll admit, when I started using it last year, I didn't like it, but now I'm hooked. Once you start to follow more people and businesses, it becomes a tremendous news resource and great way to meet like minded folks. It really is "microblogging" :) Check out Mashable.com for some good "Getting Started with Twitter" articles :) Good luck! (and I'm Copy_Chic on Twitter)
ReplyDeleteI don't use twitter, I don't seem to have the time to follow all the blogs I love and face book so I don't even try. Just don't stop blogging!
ReplyDeleteI don't use it and I simply have NO idea what it is I am so behind on the times. Teach me once you learn:)
ReplyDeleteno twats for me! both FB and twitter are blocked at work, and i just dont have the time or energy to do either one when i get home!
ReplyDeleteloooove twitter...I don't have that many followers but I tweet about running/biking new purchases, beers, wines, food, blog, my husband's band, music, questions. I have it hooked up to facebook so that is my status.
ReplyDeleteI am @bigonion75 if you want to look me up, I will follow u and make 6 :)
I LOVE Twitter!! I definitely waste a lot of time on it :) I tweet about random stuff: workouts, running/tri related questions; random stuff I come across... It's a lot of fun! I'm @Train_Happy
ReplyDeleteeh, I looked at it and I feel the same way. Too overwhelming for me!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you buy two jars...especially since the crunchy is for you:) I just hide my jar from Billy, maybe I should just buy him his own. Hope you are having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI tweet maybe once a day, usually giveaways that are going on. I mostly like to see what people like Chelsea Handler are up to.
