I have a twitter account, check it most days but for some reasons its never really dawned on me this is a tool to use, rather than something to keep me amused when I'm having a boring 10 minutes. Off to go and play some more, and see what I can do! Great article, thanks.

You got it, Twitter is all about sharing value and building relationships. One of the best aspects of it seems to be the @mentions feature, which allows you to have public conversations. People see you interacting, and sometimes join in the conversations. If it's all links and statements, sure you're giving value, but people want to do business with someone they trust and can relate with, so hanging out a bit and creating dialogues is a really good idea! Cheers, Jym Great outline for getting started on Twitter.

It was really very helpful. I will go ahead correct most of my tweeting mistakes. Its surprising how you can make certain mistakes out of share ignorance. I hope more people get to read this since there has been a lot of abuse of social networking lately. Thanks for the write-up. It was really very helpful.

It seems easy to use it, but difficult if you want to achieve something more. Thanks for tips - very useful.

It just requires a bit of patience!
