Looking at it, I can see that much of my blog traffic has come from twitter.com, either my account or someone else who RT'd one of my posts. Oh, and from Jen at Unedited. I get a lot of business from her too, links her visitors follow to my blog. Due to the fact that she has nearly as many blog followers as twitter itself. Or Oprah.

One suggestion -- use hashtags and search. If you use a twitter interface like tweetdeck, it's really easy to set up searches for topics you are interested in. It will be far more interesting that way!Colette Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685539849318739675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-25294639565423205732010-09-16T06:36:16.455-07:002010-09-16T06:36:16.455-07:00Ah..

Follow Friday and Twitter book parties seem like spam. And my Twitterview? Not a success. <br /><br />There are a few people who are so capable of being funny in a very short form, it is worth it to follow them. So it really does come down to being a place where links to blogs can be passed around. Sadly, I recently noticed that a bunch of people retweeted a link to someone's blog BUT none of them actually posted any sort of comment. Now it's possible that they read the post, but they didn't give the blogger any feedback. <br /><br />So that is what I resolve to do the most, comment on blogs. Actually, read and respond.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147284664183496856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-26518583744805396532010-09-16T04:25:12.438-07:002010-09-16T04:25:12.438-07:00I've used Twitter for a long time but never fe...I've used Twitter for a long time but never felt effective with it.L.

Sorry to send you mixed messages! I just had to throw something out about it to finish off my contest so I could get the really important stuff. <br /><br />AND BTW, don't follow me on twitter because I want to hit 500 on my blog before I hit 500 on twitter. So far twitter is winning, and I don't want it to win because I'm cheering for the blog to win. Yes, I know, I really do need to get out more.

If it becomes too frustrating I'll give up because I've got to focus on relaxing!<br /><br />And after my lovely trip to Williamsburg, etc. I've got a lot of catching up to do; reading and reviewing bloggers' books for one thing, and commenting on the blogs of all the new people I met thanks to your BBQ! They are wonderful.
