I guess the success is in the ease of use and the short sharp bursts of contact you can have. @ Ryan : You’re not stalking Britney Spears via Twitter now are you?

If your following someone then take an invested interest in what they are posting (tweeting) - if they drop a link to a blog post and you like what you read then Re-Tweet it ... 1) It'll get you noticed but also most importantly 2) They might reciprocate back when you post a link ... opening up your link to their audience of followers. That said, if your just going to be dropping links all the time then your better off blogging ... and that's another thing to watch out for ... Twitter can have an adverse effect on your blogging ratio. Twitter has put me in touch of a whole new network of friends and professionals within my industry that I would never have come across, if just left to my old browsing habits i.e. rss feeds and blogs.

I can see me probably looking at it once a day or so... I just joined it yesterday (@Ryman82) and it seems reasonably fun to me, I’ve followed a couple of friends and celebs I like.

I'm trying to follow more people and have even uploaded the odd link (with decent results). I think I may have been right to give it that third chance and although it's been distracting me from work slightly, I'm not going to chuck it in just yet! ** ** Update: Since first drafting this post way back in Jan I’ve been getting a little bit more active on the old Twitter.
