Increase Traffic to your Blogs using Twitter

amyschiff · 07-22-2008, 10:12 AM

I have been on twitter for about a month now, and while I don't have a blog to network about, I found this article about how using twitter can help increase visibility

The article helps explain what twitter is and how it can be useful

Thanks, Amy! That is one area where I'm seriously lacking!

Twitter has been having some issues. I'm growing very fond of Plurk.
It is like watching a lot of instant message conversations at once. I still haven't found a way to get the little widget on to my blogs yet, but that should happen soon.

Thanks for that, Amy. I've signed up and it does look like a great way to network with other bloggers.

I'm scared to use Twitter -- only because I'm afraid it would be a time-suck for me. I get addicted to interaction... but I'm glad it's working out for so many!

Wise Bread has a new twitter account, if you'd like to follow us.

http://twitter.com/wisebread

We're not sure what it's going to use it for yet, but it definitely will not just be a repost of what's on the blog.

And thanks to Amy for being the first to welcome Wise Bread to twitter-ville.

How many hours do you tend to spend on Twitter Amy?

Like Linsey I'm also afraid of the big time suck.

I've given in...

Let's hope this is less time consuming than Facebook!

I probably don't spend more than an hour a day (total of many short intervals) on twitter and I tend not to go on at all on the weekends. I follow a lot of web design people so I tend to use it as a resource to keep current in the industry a bit.

That said, none of my friends use twitter really, so I'm not really using it to its full potential. I can definitely see how it would start to take up a lot of time if I had friends on there tweeting and replying to my tweets.

I'm on there as http://twitter.com/amuhlou but not much of my tweets are really useful hehe.
