Invest It Wisely on Twitter or No?

I use Twitter and have it setup to pass through new blog posts automatically. I also use it to retweet other posts that I find interesting.

I am following you.

I get more traffic from Facebook, but enjoy twitter more.

I think Twitter fits busy people better. Can come and go. With Tweetdeck I have lists that make it easier to keep up with those I want to "talk" to. It still is work to try to make sure people are added to the right list.

I have read it is important to have 80% conversation to 20% commercial (new blog post etc...).

Twitter is one of the biggest referral sites for my blog. Twitter can be fun as well. You get to know people and interact and well... yes, promote yourself. Just don't do it too much (promoting yourself) or it will be considered spam. :-)

Tweet. Schedule your tweets wth Twuffer or Tweetdeck. Retweet at night. Works like a charm.

I also agree that it's good to be on Twitter, but you have to be willing to put the time in to learn it and use it. It's NOT a good strategy to just broadcast your own content on there. No one will follow you if you're just self-promotional. I would suggest only posting 10% of stuff from your own site(s) and 90% from others' sites.

I think you must join twitter.

I love it. I think it is a great way to connect with fellow bloggers. I think of it more of a fun thing than a chore. I think it works better that way too.

Just start following people you find interesting. Some will follow you back, and then some people will follow you just because such and such is following you. Closing in on 100 followers (not a lot I know, but still a significant milestone for a twitter newbie like me)

Join twitter! Some major blogs followed me and retweeted my stuff. Twitter drives traffic. It is also great for networking on a micro level.

Yes. Get on Twitter. Now.

I need to talk to you more. Oh, and for all the reasons everyone else said.

Twitter's been solid, even though I'm in the same boat as you - I'm not posting from work, and being on PST means I sometimes miss peak activity times. Even so it's been a decent traffic driver.

Another benefit is some conversations lead to post ideas... which is nice.

Facebook has been a great thing for my blog, but I spend time there just like I do on Twitter (though not as much since I live on Twitter!). In the beginning I was just auto-posting my feed and it was a ghost town. When I started posting actual statuses now and then, people responded. Now when I post something, I usually get at least 10% feedback, which is pretty good. Facebook is now beating Twitter for top referral source.
