Why use twitter?

[AussieDave]

I started using it for my seo company. Don't know if I'm using it in the correct context of how it's meant to be used, but it's a very useful tool. Still learning a lot though. And yes used in the right manner I believe it could make you money too

Cheers

A Nielsen report this week revealed that Twitter has an uncanny knack for hemorrhaging users. In fact, some 60 percent of new users bail on the service within a month. For those of us who've been tweeting for a couple of years, this isn't exactly a shocker. Many longtime users have gone through that initial period of wondering what, if any, use Twitter might be. And maybe it's better for everyone if those who don't get it refrain from tweeting until they do.

... But eventually, for most of us anyway, it dawns on us that Twitter is a lot more than a worldwide stream of trivial, self-promotional text bombs. And when that happens, we begin to see the beauty in Twitter's simple, terse messaging system. Used in conjunction with a good client app like TweetDeck, Twitter becomes an active massively multi-user conversation to rival any other social medium. The more people you follow, the more enlightening that conversation can be.

I learned plenty in my first 2 months on twitter. I started for business
and now the pleasureable side has taken over. I am leary to post
too much gambling stuff, so as not to offend my followers.

On a side note:
I just hit a 50:1 shot on the Kentucky Derby because the name had bird in it,
so I picked him to win and show. "Mind that Bird" bet at Intertops.

I learned this quickly:
1. Twitter is a lot like sex, if you don't do it right, it may be
boring and painful for all parties involved.
2. Twitter is a lot like life... you get out what you put in.
3. Twitter is a lot like poker... sometimes you just have to bluff.
