This week I’ve been talking about time wasters. So far I’ve covered personal time wasters, email time savers, and my editorial calender.
Today Twitter.
This post will be real short. Twitter does waste some of my time. Some tweets on twitter are totally useless. Will this be a time waster I cut?
No.
Twitter sends a fair amount of blog traffic my way. Also I stay current on many of the blogs I enjoy via Twitter, which translates into less time spent clicking around, visiting my favorite blogs to see what’s new. Overall it’s a positive service with some time wasting qualities, but it gives enough back so that I feel it’s justified.
What do you think of your Twitter time?
I spend too much time on Twitter, but I too get alot of traffic from there – so I’m figuring it’s killing 2 birds at 1 time too. However, now I try to work WHILE twittering
I’ve been getting more involved with Twitter, and I’m slowly getting used to making Tweets. I’m not as addicted to checking it as I am email, and my RSS reader.
I love Twitter – I think I spend more time there than you. I learn the news quicker than if I was watching CNN, made a few friends and get turned on to other great blogs – plus I can turn a few people on to my blogs as well. it’s good stuff.
At first, I was kind of skeptical about Twitter, but it definitely does lead to a small spike in my traffic. It’s also just fun!
@Deb – I know you do LOVE Twitter. I agree, you do learn news there quicker.
@Linette, I rarely see you on there missy
Just kidding. I spend more time on my email too.
@Dawn it’s hard to stop when you know traffic comes from there; working while tweeting is a good deal though.
@Samantha I was totally skeptical of Twitter – but Deb raved about it, and it turns out I like it. And it is fun.
