The great thing for me is the minute by minute info for almost anything related to my followers,

ooh! that's kind of worrying. Is this some kind of cult?

[Benjamin Dyer]

So when are Actinic Towers getting in on the act Ben so we can all see what you are up to

[Goz]

that's not so good, is it Ben? According to twitter, no one has done anything at Actinic since November 4th......


or they've all been too busy to update twitter.....

[leehack]

Or none returned from the actinic bonfire?

[Duncan Rounding]

Are we twittering now then?

[RuralWeb]

Nice one ben - I get my iphone twitter sorted

[Goz]

Are we twittering now then?

this must be the web1.0 version of twittering

[george]

Hmmm. twittering.


I guess it only works if you want people to know what you're up to.


Or even if you do, that you have something worth saying or seeing.



That probably rules me out then... next!

Slightly off-topic but I find it kind of ironic that we have a huge problem with identity theft these days and yet individuals reveal so much about themselves on the very public bebo and myspace sites.

Twitter

Have been using Twitter for a couple of months now and is great for sharing and picking up links and bits of info from like minded professionals and people with similar interests.

My website is an online food producer and supplier and I connect via twitter to other food producers, farmers markets, SEO specialist and lots of web2.0 people and now even Actinic.

Whilst initially skeptical, I am now completely converted, journalist sometimes even twitter looking for feedback and interviews for articles, I responded to one only last week and got some press coverage out of it and website hits within 24 hours. see article here

It's another part of social networking and Web 2.0 whilst it may not suit everyone it is good for me...

I just thought I would bump this post as a few of you have since joined the Twitterverse and I was wondering how you were finding it.

Since we started talking about Twitter a fair few things have happened:

Barack Obama is now President-elect, by March of this year, he had become the service's most popular poster.

Dell recently sold $500,000 worth of refurbished PCs using Twitter.

So, how are those of you using it finding it, also are you just using it for personal chatter or are you thinking about using it as a business tool?

[Darren B]

Im still learning it, has a few quirks but im guessing mine is more chatter at the moment, not really looked at the business side of things

[TraceyHand]

actually, I considered using it as a business tool or even as a way of updating customers by allowing them to follow me (not my current twitter ID, obviously LOL )

I'd be very wary of competition keeping tabs though...in the same was as you/we keep tabs on competition
There's a fine line between using it to watch others and allowing yourself to be watched, I think.

I can see many uses for it, aside from the obvious 'waffle', but I'm not quite brave enough to go all out yet

[Jan]

I'm finding twitter very useful, I'm listing details of all of our betas on there now and also having a laugh with a few of the regulars from here. It's a clever tool, deceptively useful.
