Twitter has become a much more useful tool as it’s evolved. I’m glad you’re back, Marilyn. :)

I tried Twitter a couple of years ago, but then my enthusiasm dwindled away and for some time I left it alone. Now, I’m back and I am finding what I found before and more. Great little snippets of information shared by so many people. Lots of links to follow and plenty to think about. It also gives me a forum to share with others and no pressure to spend lots of time.

I use Twitter for casual tweeting (personal updates, blog links, etc.) and reading others’ posts for 20-30 minutes per day tops (mostly spread out through “down time”) and it is definitely worth it!

I have learned SO much from the people I follow and thoroughly enjoy it!

Absolutely! I built my Twitter following from about 180 in mid May to 828 at last count. My main goal is promote my debut novel (printed by WestBow BTW), but you have to give your receive. I Tweet scripture, RT other book & blog promos as well as other news and helpful tweets. I stay away from personal stuff. Folks really don’t need to know what I had for dinner. Sometimes, I do lose track of time reading Tweets (I follow over 1600 people!) And I need to say time to get some work done!

I usually spend not more than an hour for twitter. It’s kinda hard to create a tweet of less than 140 characters but as you get used to it, you’ll have your messages concise and direct to the point. Also, spending more time reading others tweets makes your twitter experience much better. More listening and less talking.

Well, if you just use Twitter to post bromidic run-of-the-mill tweetfare, such as giving a quick weather update, announcing what you’re having for dinner, or sharing a link, it takes very little time. Otherwise, tweeting is work. My latest tweet took me five minutes and three re-writes to get it right and stay within the limit. (“In commism, the govern ant controlifies the marked place. In capitalicism, the prizes of goods and badices are determinated by suppland.”)

Don’t forget, you only have 140 characters. It can’t take much time. (Michael Hyatt)

Love Twitter and the people I have met through it. No other tool out there allows a SAHM like me the chance to chat with so many people of influence, like yourself. I think it is an amazing tool.

I don’t spend much time tweeting, but I do take a while to read everyone else’s feeds. At least, it seems to take a long time because I do most of it in one sitting.

I think I save time. It is so much faster than email, and keeps me in closer contact with people I chat with. I don't really use it for business, just personal but it is a great way to make connections and keep in touch with people. My recent post Homeschooling in the popular culture

I find Twittering addictive, as it instantly links me to a stimulating conversation I could never have any other way. It fuels my creativity and allows me to get a glimpse into events, people and thoughts around the world. For minutes a day there's nothing better!!
