Have you ever Twittered?

We had an interesting & highliy interactive Web2.0 Network Workshop today. We all are now twittering?

We all have joined the online texting culture and the celeb's to become twitter's...

What is it? Good question and probably the best place to start is this blog which gives a business introduction to Twitter:

Thanks to everyone and to John for great twitter workshop yesterday. Another IT adventure to look into. Great new opportunity for business but another job on the "to do" list. If you like to follow me>>>http://twitter.com/bearessentials
We had a request from people that are interested in setting up a blog but feel they need some help to do so. We are planning to run a workshop with 6 people only. If you are interested please get in contact so we can set a date for the workshop that suits all.Talk soon!

If you are interested in twitter just follow a person who interests you and see what is happening

I found some nice contacts through twitter and also researched some new business opportunities. Because of people following you you will have new connections coming to you and if you are not interested you do not have to give a reply.

Have you tried it, are you already on it? Let us know. Love to follow you.

Hi Anke and John ,really enjoyed the Web2.o session on Twitter.I finally got my password sorted(I had logged in before but forgot my password).Just getting into it and would agree with Anke in that you get to follow and comment with very interesting individuals.I will keep Twittering and will soon get the hang of it.

I have been using Twitter now for 2 weeks and still learning. I use it to post and receive messages to a network of contacts instead of sending e-mails or text messages. I also use Twitter to promote my blogs especially if I would like feedback on the blog. I use Twitter to watch and follow other colleagues in the tourism trade and it gives me an insight as what is happening and keeps me up to date with currents trends. I find it a more friendly way to keep in contact with friends and give a more human side to a message. I am still very new to tweeting and have a lot more to learn, it seems to be what all the bigger organisations are doing, they must find it of value to their business, so why not give it a go and see how it works for you. If you would like to tweet me on the following link

Like your "Miss Busy" and your profile photo on twitter is lovely.Geraldine just check your twitter link again, it did not work for me, unless twitter has a breakdown due to to much traffic.
Is anybody else on twitter please let us know so we can build another communication network through twitter and let's see how it works for us.
This year trying anything is worth the effort.

Once you are comfortable with Twitter you should start using TwitterMap.com or TwitterLocal.net; you will get access to all the happenings in any given area.

Also if you are posting links in your 'tweets' whether to your own site or an article, i recommend using www.BudUrl.com to shrink the size of the URL. The beauty of this site is that it also allows you to track how many people have clicked on the URL, enabling you to track what postings are popular and get peoples attention.

Thanks for letting us know. We like your Skippy here at Bear Essentials. Will let have Seamus (a bear of course) have a go on twitter next >>>

Well it took me a while to feel comfortable with the tweeting thing but I must say I think I like it better than facebook. It seems to be quicker and easier to follow and connect with others. And it is certainly quicker to down load on the dreaded dialup

I have found some interesting tweeters to follow including a 'handmade forum' which is interesting. So I will stick with it and see how it goes....
