It's a pretty powerful tool. A great way to reach MANY people!
I use it to expose my booth on Bonanzle. I'll tweet certain items that I think people might be interested in. I also just tweet what's on my mind or reply to someone else's tweet or even find something on the web and tweet it.
I use it as a soapbox to shout out anything that I love or hate that's going on in the world. It's kinda like standing on the edge of a canyon and hollering and then waiting for the echo to come back to you. It releives a little stress to be able to speak whatever is on your mind and feel like somebody out there is gonna hear you. Course I also use it to let the world know when I'm having a sale on one of my product lines. so in that sense, it works like a giant billboard. Lastly, I use it to find out what's going on in my community. I follow lots of other local folks to get heads up on community events. It's like reading the headlines of a newspaper. Very useful.
I'm finding it fun to just air any thoughts I may have at that moment, like if I'm watching a tv program, it seems to be a good way to share what my thoughts on a particular scene or comment on what a person is doing or saying at that moment.
Yeah, you're right Sylvia, like there's always someone right there listening!
Tea Lady, yep, it's the only way I get a head up on what's going on in the world. It's SO much better than watching the news on tv!
