A week is not ...Diane, give it a little more time. A week is not enough time for twitter to become useful. could be how you are using it too.. <BR/><BR/>if you use Firefox, install the Twitterfox extension. What I like about it is that folks tweets, who you follow, will pop up from time to time while you're surfing.. and you can quick respond or not. Also spend time following a few more folks and listening to the tweets.. don't worry so much about how you're wording your tweets. Just be natural.. it's kind of an organic type of learning of social media.. just be a listener for a bit and see how others use it. <BR/><BR/>Also try using search.twitter.com to search on a word or phrase .. good way to find others. I use it both personally and professionally, but I really like the Twitterfox extension as I can do other work and still see tweets when i want, and respond occasionally. I've used it to connect with both fiber folk AND web, Search Engine Optimization folks and Social media folks. <BR/><BR/>If it weren't for Twitter, and my deciding to follow Guido of Itsapurlman, I'd never have known about Podcamp, an unconference that was a very important thing for me this year. <BR/><BR/>So you never know.. but give it a little more time. <BR/><BR/>SadiaSadellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327238667889582898noreply@blogger.com
