How long have you been on Twitter?
I’ve been on Twitter for only a few weeks – maybe 6 or so.
How many people do you follow?
I’m following around 40 people for the moment. Some of these are people I do business with but most I picked up on Triiibes or Twellow. I’m deleting these as it becomes obvious they don’t add any value.
TwitterLocal tell us that Twitterlocal lets you generate an RSS or XML Feed to filter out Tweets around a certain area. Just enter a city, state, postal code, choose the range of miles you want to include, and hit the button. You’ll instantly get URLs to add to your RSS reader. Worth a try if you want to find local Tweeters!
Tweet about others at least as much as you Tweet about yourself.
Think about it Twitterpeeps, think about it….

Lyrics:
You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter
And if you aren’t there already you’ve missed it
If you haven’t been bookmarked, retweeted and blogged
You might as well not have existed
In the old days it was all about achievements
Collecting all your trophies in a shrine
Then everybody came across the internet
And suddenly you had to be online
By now, everyone’s heard of Twitter. And if you haven’t, where have you been?
Twitter is the smart “new” gizmo for keeping up to date with everything that’s happening. It’s a microblogging tool that everyone seems to be using for personal, social and business networking. Imagine text messaging across an established network or broadcasting your messages to everyone who subscribes or ‘follows’ you, as it’s known. Tell your friends, colleagues or customers your latest news as it happens and let them read your updates at their leisure.
