I agree completely. You can’t expect to just create a twitter profile and then magically double your website traffic! You have to engage with other users just like on any other platform (blogs, forums, social media, offline)

Great post!

Thanks for the video. It made the light turn on for me (sic). Sometimes the hardest things are so simple.

@ Sonia - I’m starting to notice a pattern on Twitter: “people” who following thousands and thousands of people, but who only have a handful of followers and very few tweets. Do not follow them. They are probably bots or spammers.

I also unfollow people who only tweet their blog posts and contribute nothing else. If people treat Twitter like a marketing channel, they will lose. If they treat it like a place to hang out with friends, they’ll get the best real marketing they could hope for. Ironic, don’t you think?

I like this post a lot. It definitely took me some time to get to critical mass on Twitter, for weeks it seemed sort of pointless. But now I’ve got my little pack of Twitter buddies and the folks I follow for pure entertainment and the folks I follow to get the “backstage” view of what they’re up to.

I do find it utterly painful to see folks post a string of 5 or 6 Tweets to their Squidoo lenses or blog posts or wherever they’re trying to drive traffic. The basic idea of only contributing what is useful & relevant (on whatever vehicle) has yet to take off the way I would hope. More cluetrain stuff, I guess.

I’m still not really getting the twitter craze for some reason. I would rather spend more time on content generation.

@ Cath - Thank you! Public speaking is what I do all day at work as a computer instructor. I’ve had plenty of practice!

Hi Michael - this has convinced me. I signed up to Twitter, but i never got round to using it.

By the way - you are great at doing videos. You come across as honest and genuine and easy to listen to. I bet you would be great at public speaking.
