A new milestone in my Twitter life is just about to be reached. I have 199 followers on Twitter. Who will be #200?
Will it be you?
If you’re tweeting let me know what you think about it. Do you like it? Is it useful (personally, professionally)?
Post Update: Follower 200 is Livable Future, the blog of The Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Not all the time. Esp not professionally.
Chuck – I find it ridiculously useful! Why? It breaks down barriers and creates an open venue to have conversations with people I wouldn’t normally get to talk with. My recipe?
Offer Value. What can I put on Twitter that is valuable to others?
Offer Suggestions. Be Helpful to others that need your help.
Set Context. What can others expect from you on twitter?
If you Tweet about your day, and update every minute – sure I think it gets a bit redundant. However due to the massive number of increasing users – the content is getting more valuable all the time. Remember that twitter is all about who you are Following – not who is following you.
Twitter is a fun tool. I am amazed at the people you can “meet” using this technology. There’s contacts abundant — just a Tweet away.
I am completely addicted to Twitter. I am always checking it and staying informed on what is happening. Several stories that I have put on my blog were initiated becasue I found out about them in real time on Twitter. I also agree with Mark that it breaks down barriers and creates a situation where you can break out of your traditional contacts and meet new people.
