Twitter sucks because it is addictive and can take over your life!!
When I first started using Twitter it was just to find out a bit more about my favourite celebrities but now I am using it more and more to connect with other Internet Marketing people.
It really is viral and addictive, I am going to have to turn off email notifications, because I just can’t help but look immediately to find out more about who has just decided to follow me.
What I have done is automate a number of things, which I really recommend if you are a Tweeter. Check them out:
Using http://www.socialoomph.com/ I can:
- automatically follow those who follow me
- automatically send a message to those who follow me, thanking them for the follow and sending them a link to this website
- automatically unfollow those who unfollow me! catch out the sneaky spammers!
- keep a track on statistics about my accounts
I use http://twitterfeed.com/ and twitter tools to automatically update twitter with new blog posts and links to the blogs.
I really don’t want to become a twitter spammer, so I am focusing on quality content for my blogs and twitters rather than over promoting.

I have to agree with you here James, I used to be a Twitter addict and checking it all the time but I find once you start following so many people it’s just to hard to manage. I haven’t used Social Oomph before but it sounds good so I’m going to have to check it out.
