I love to see all the moms on Twitter - I am apart of local moms groups in my area, but to talk with moms nationwide is so cool! In the category of odd things, it turns out I discovered that Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) is now on twitter as of TODAY (http://twitter.com/pennjillette).
For me, the list is endless! Amazing contacts worldwide, new local friends, great product recommendations (for example, a local twitterer I follow answered a coffee supplier recommendation request I put out, and he led me to some of the best coffee I have ever tasted!), I am now a contributing writer for Momspark.net, which I found out about through Mom Bloggers Club, which in turn, I found through twitter....sensing a theme here?
Best of all, my first Etsy shop sale is all thanks to the followers I have on twitter!!!
Social media can be the most amazing thing if you are motivated to put some effort into it. ;)
I'm excited about all the new friends I have made. The different blogs I have been able to catch and some freelance writing gigs that have come my way! Plus I found someone to redesign my blog!
I've found some terrific friends through Twitter, found some great blogs (besides finding them through EntreCard), and it gives such a sense of immediacy ~ if you're on, you can always be among the first to know what's going on!
Just happened yesterday. TheFoodChannel read my tweet about going to Martha Stewart's show for bloggers and asked me to guest blog about the event. How cool is that? All thanks to Twitter.
