mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 These days I?m active on twitter and following some good bloggers and developers on twitter. They?re broadcasting some good tips on twitter apart from their blog. My intention behind this post is to know more about who to follow on twitter & to share the list that i follow on twitter. Some twitter accounts i follow: 1) Foodimentary: This southern foodie tweets regularly with good food facts and quizzes. You?ll find a lot about food and stuff from his tweets. He also has blogspot blog. But his tweets on twitter are the one i would love to follow. 2) WritingSpirit: Julie writes excellent writing tips and so far I?ve counted it?s almost 199+ tips posted on twitter. As her site is accessible to only paid members, i found her tips on twitter a much better deal. 3) Books: From this twitter account, you?ll come to know more about book reviews, articles and news in books domain. 4) astropace: This twitter account doesn?t need any introduction. Lot of useful information is tweeted regularly. More 12 profiles i would love to list here. But i?m not sure if everyone like this or not. So if you know any twitter profile that you find worth to share with others then please do post about it here. I would like to go through tweets of those profiles.

sakmac 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Is twitter just a network of blogs or something, so is it better than facebook or myspace? So, if I want to blog should I make a wordpress one or join twitter. Any of you got profiles i might want to look at to get a feel of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any of you got profiles i might want to look at to get a feel of it?Well see Twitter like a micro-blogging service where the main idea is that you update your status but you can use it for whatever you want, from announcing your product, delivering news, promoting your blog etc. etc. and generally just to have fun! You only need an email address to sign up and a nickname to begin with You can also search Twitter's updates from every person around the world here and more help about Twitter here.

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 But only think I have found bad of twitter is that it is now becomming full of people spamming there how too's. Not a good network of people with helpful things anymore. Just spamsThink of it as trend. it will get slowed down. when spammer and wanna be money earners starts to jam the network for the sake of their advantage. This is problem for every social network. It's upto us to extract good out of these. again personal(social) choice i can say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
