Getting Things Done with Twitter

Source: eHub

Feb 11, 2009

Summary

After three years on the web, Twitter has become more than just another micro-blogging client. A whole industry of web applications have sprung up to extend and capitalize on its capabilities, from the ridiculously silly, to the gobsmackingly useful. If Twitter is not already a part of your daily life, these applications can give you a whole new perspective on the idea of Getting Things Done. There's a lot you didn't know you could do with 140 character spurts.

If you want others to retweet your tweet it is adviceable to restrict it 120 characters. Yea we live in the soundbite age of speed dating - you have 20 seconds to make your case - brevity is of the essense

@svartling - You've got quite a large following on Twitter. I suppose that comes from all those 6300 plus updates. Holy Cow! Has twitter been impactful for your business?

Svartling,

Feb 19, 2009

@Rita012 Yes Twitter has been quite impactful for marketing of my websites. I think Twitter is great for many things!

May I interview you about Twitter? I write a column for The National Networker, and I'd love to be able to interview you about your use of Twitter?

micro blogging kills real blogging - and I love "real" blogging!

Svartling,

@bryner123 I think "Real blogging" has evolved to microblogging.

Twitter Can be hard to understand in the beginning, but when you get into it you will love it. I do.

I admit to being befuddled by Twitter. It seems as though the time it takes is way out of proportion to the benefit it provides, so thanks for the ideas. I will have to give them some thought.

I've definately had to cut out unnecessary wording on Twitter! It is amazing the power of Twitter..

Twitter will help you getting things done as long as you know what you use it for. Purpose is important. For many Twitter profiles (users) this might not be clear... more about this at http://www.whakate.com , if you like.
