Back @twitter

by Jeremy Schoemaker on March 5, 2008 · 44 comments

So been using twitter the last couple days…

I am digging it this time around. Michael Gray took me outside @SMX and explained it to me and how he uses it. It was pretty fascinating and really eye opening. I also started using a application called twitterrific

Also while doing the radio show last night it really brought a whole new dimension.

Right now I feel as if Twitter is a nice in-between of a blog and a instant messenger client.

If you want to follow me I am @shoemoney or http://www.twitter.com/shoemoney and shoot me a @shoemoney !!!!

tweet on.

Good to see ya on there, Shoe!

It really wasn’t as fun and useful when not that many peeps were using it… but now that more and more peeps (or tweeps?) in our industry are adopting it, it has become a lot more useful… and more fun.

Glad you finally came to an agreement with Twitter. Its as if people post to twitter first then make a blog post about it. So we get to find out first. Example would be the UK Earth Quake.

Good to see you on twitter Shoe.

For PC users I can warmly recommend twhirl. It’s multi-platform so it’s an alternative for Mac-users too. It runs on Adobe Air. http://www.twhirl.org/

Ditto. I checked it out after the show, but hadn’t given it any “real” thought. It seemed like it brought a cool dimension to the show.

Twitter is great. I heard sending a message in twitter is one of the fastest way to get indexed by Google.

Ok, the blogs, twitter are great now.
But i wonder, in a few years, what will be the nest thing to come out?

Just started using twitter, still trying to learn how to use it, but it is extremely interesting

twitterific is not as good as TWHirl is. It is acceptable.

24 Uzair March 6, 2008 at 9:24 pm

It is becoming quite addictive. I used to avoid it but now I get most of the breaking news from twitter. People like @646 keep you updated with earthquakes, @mrbabyman with social media etc.

I will set up today an account with them, I hear so many people talking about it. It’s time to start using it and see how we can benefit from it!

This is just like myspace and facebook right? I just find it harder to use but it looks great for networking. I have seen a lot of people in my industry on Twitter.

I find twitter useful for a quick glance across a broad range of people, certainly helps in finding interesting topics to blog about, and provides some seriously entertaining snippets of conversations.

Can you make a post explaining what Greywolf explained to you? I STILL don’t get Twitter. I would love to hear about its potential usefulness. Could you clue us in on the conversation you had with him?

I’d love to hear more too, but I am guessing I’ll get some idea of what he told you from perusing your twitterings!

I know a lot of people don’t see the value in twittering (I’m one of them, I haven’t “seen the light, yet.”) But I’m glad you found a way to take advantage of the micro-blogging concept.

Well, I just use twitter for my site and some friends, not so useful anyway. :)

I still don’t know why everyone like twitter..

Never used twitter, never will. I just don’t understand. There are tools, however, I overuse in my daily quest for blogging, commenting and promoting.
