Comments on: Saying Twitter is a Waste is Stating the Obvious http://wordsofabrokenmirror.com/2008/06/25/twitter-and-stating-the-obvious/ Online and Offline Marketing and PR Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:58:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alina Popescu http://wordsofabrokenmirror.com/2008/06/25/twitter-and-stating-the-obvious/comment-page-1/#comment-857 Alina Popescu Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:37:26 +0000 http://wordsofabrokenmirror.com/?p=180#comment-857 Hendry, I see networking skills as something you keep improving. The more people we meet and interact with, the better we get :) And yes, people usually follow back. I also do it, unless the tweets are in a language I can't understand or it is a company, and not an individual voice. Hendry, I see networking skills as something you keep improving.

Networking skills certainly help. That is also something I need to improve on, although right no I am having >100 followers, most of them just reciprocate. So true. Networking skills certainly help.

For me, it's a way to reconnect and keep building on relationships with wonderful people. And yeah, I've seen the movies about the twitter addict :D really annoying! Hendry, welcome! most of us wouldn't say that! yet there are some who take reports on how well twitter did for some and expect the very same, although they don't put the same effort or simply lack the networking skills. If you have 3 followers and expect a tweet to pimp your latest post, that won't happen. if you have a hundred and the post isn't all that great, again it won't really happen :) Hi Mig,

I am still on and off from Twitter nowadays. Got some results, but nothing to write home about. From what I learn so far, this can be very rewarding though.

Besides, if you are not careful it could even become addicting. ;) twitter is not entirely a waste of time, it’s just plainly annoying and a time eater if you want.

At least when your starting out, it's better to concentrate on one or two social networks at a time. Finding friends and building relationships takes more time than maintaining them afterwards. I have a few social bookmarking sites and networks that I am active on, about 4, and that's quite enough. You are absolutely right!

I have an account, just never use it. As I'm sure others have mentioned before, it seems it would be better to concentrate ones time on one social media and really build it up than to invest just a little time on many. If one is willing, they could invest a big chunk of time to more than one. But the key is not to invest only a tiny bit of time, it may not accomplish anything. I haven’t gotten into twitter yet.
