Alot of my fav people over @tcbn have been getting on the Twitter train, which I highly encourage as tcbn2.0 may feature some solid twitter integration [hint]- more on that later. At first sight twitter is a strange and confusing place, and can really leave you wondering “wtf is this?”. Well, here are my tips for new users to jump right into the twittosphere instead of just walking around the edges in confusion. Oh and make sure to follow me and follow the tcbn twitter account too!
One more thing, post a link to your twitter account on your blog or website, its how I have found most the TCBN tweeps, no one is going to find you if you don’t advertise just a lil
Hey Dan, thanks for the Post. Helps a bit, although I still don't Fully understand why I would want to use twitter over Text messaging (for when im on the go) or post on my blog (for when im at the computer).
Maybe I'll find out someday, but for now its still intimidating and confusing.
Hey Bryce glad to help! For me twitter is less about messaging friends (txt) or posting thoughts and ideas longform (blog) twitter is about connecting with new people, people you may never meet in real life, but who have cool ideas and insights that you would otherwise be missing.
For example, I am in contact with a bunch of tcbn bloggers through twitter. These are people that I probably wouldn't be txting or blogging to (except for this post lol) but they are still people who are my age, with cool ideas, and who are into social media (they're on tcbn after all!) so in that way twitter helps me connect with them. Its about exploring and connecting really.
That is just one small example, there are more- maybe someone can post why THEY use twitter?
