I use Twitter, and have it set to put my tweets on my facebook page also. I don't post much, though. I mostly subscribe to others and read what they have to say.

My Twitter name is - surprise - KawaiDon.

Hope I don't get laid off from Kawai - I'd have to change all my on-line identities!

Well I'll tell you this. When I check my stats, Twitter comes in at about 10 for hits to the site.

People are still trying to figure out how to monetize Twitter. You can drive traffic with it. But as I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, you have to have a blend of marketing and social tweets ... otherwise you look like a twammer! grin

Hi Frank and friends!

I'm there. New to Twitter, but willing to try. My husband has been on there for a long time and loves it—

@RobinGoldsby

Frank, just tweeted about the Let's Talk Weddings thread.

I'd signed up for Twitter but did not see any value. Then I saw Frank's note in the PW Digest and checked out this thread. Helen's post made me give it another try. The jury is still out, but at least I have a better sense for Twitter now than I did at first.

I haven't fully figured it out yet myself.

Although I have found it's a way to get instant news and feedback from others.

Just ordered this book to help me understand...

There's another book by Joel Comm that's supposed to be good as well. Joel's an IM guru and most of his other stuff is pretty good. Here it is at amazon.com .

I might buy this soon.

Interesting. I generally don't think of these sites in terms of marketing (except for LinkedIn, of course) but these books and the references I'm finding on-line certainly do make strong cases for that purpose.

I am enjoying Facebook, but only from a personal/fun perspective. I may put some of my old stuff (writings) up on it if I can find the time. Twitter will take more time.

Last August I started DailyJazzTweets. Content comes from DVD, CD, tape, LP, and 78 recordings: http://twitter.com/dailyjazztweets. Let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance for your time,


Regards,
Jim
