@Dave:
Those are some pretty good tips. Twubble is a nice app. I’ve seen another strategy of following everyone (almost). The person would be following 10,000+ people and he would get a few hundred more followers. A sure-fire way to get followers. Not sure about meaningful conversation though.

That Penny Arcade comic still cracks me up. When there’s a case of TMI, I’ll use this app: http://twittersnooze.com

Hi Reggy.
Yeah, it’s definitely loads more fun if there are (more) people to talk to. Not just one-way, but two-way communication. I don’t like talking to myself – although I feel like that’s what I’ve been doing when blogging. Everyone who comments and answers my tweets is the reason I’m still doing this stuff.

So weird how Twitter is the new flavour of the season. I’ve had my twitter account for at least two years and only really had one person to follow… I have to say it’s a lot more fun when there are more people to follow

To me, this is one of the most fascinating aspects of Twitter – http://www.tweetscan.com/index.....;u=&d=

@Dave:
Thanks for the follow! Seems like I’m connected with more Torontonians than ever now. I can leave Canada, but Canada will not leave me.

@James:
I’m glad you liked the body sock suggestion. Have you found one that fits you?

@Angela:
It’s a great communication tool. It’s a heckuva lot more useful when the people I talk to are “in-the-know”. It’s amazing how much wealth of information people possess.

As for Twine, you gotta let me know how you like it. It does look promising.

I find the more I use Twitter, the more meaningful my *conversations* get. I follow quite a few library and information professionals who use Twitter for reference and research questions — they get answers too!

Today, Twitter came through big time for me. I managed to get a Twine invite from a fellow Twitterati …. a beta-invite I’ve been lusting after for some time!

Yes. Niebu, certainly. It’s now exposed.

Swordfights, discussion of that Vanity Fair teen’s photo, help with a font, news about Woopra…

I do use it as a thinktank from time to time, asking questions like, “How do I use my laptop in the sun?” (Posted, thanks Rudy!), but I find that I’d rather *not* use Twitter purely as a tool. It’s about relationships, too.

(Although there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes business going on…)

Hi Rudy,

Glad you liked the post. I’ve just followed you on Twitter – hopefully I’ll be able to help you get some of these conversations started.

Cheers,

Dave
