A lot of good things have been written about Twitter. It helps to get your blog found, aids in social networking, expands your branding power, etc.
It’s also written that Twitter is another time consuming social networking tool.
Today’s Lesson
I haven’t joined Twitter yet. In fact, I’m rather hesitant about joining.
Here’s my thoughts. I join Twitter and start following a few bloggers and they follow me. Soon, my Twitter community starts to expand. My followers are going to be tweeting me (forgive me if I get the language wrong), maybe asking questions, etc.
If I didn’t answer a person’s question in a timely fashion, would they stop following me?
Would a lack of participation on Twitter affect my reputation in blogosphere?
Although my online presence might increase, would the time spent on Twitter be better spent on my blog, or visiting other blogs?
What if I were to get addicted to Twitter?
What do you think?
Today’s Assignment
If you’re on Twitter, what are its advantages and disadvantages?
When you sign onto to Twitter, it asks “What are you doing?” Do you really care what other bloggers are doing? Or is Twitter another numbers game?
Do you find you’re becoming addicted to Twitter?
If you haven’t joined Twitter yet, what’s stopping you?
I’m looking forward to your answers on this one. They’ll determine whether I join Twitter, or not.

Hi All,
Another busy week has come to an end.
To recap the week:
1) On Monday we looked at how blogging can fill a void in our lives.
2) Tuesday Davina and her blog Loving Pulse were showcased as New Blog of the Week (NBOTW)
3) Wednesday was a day of gratitude. How we can thank others for commenting and frequenting our blogs was discussed.
4) Yesterday was a fun day. Everyone contributed their definitions of blogoholism (is that a word?) If you haven’t read all of the comments, you must check them out. We have some true comedians in the BWAB community, and they did they best to make us laugh.
This week I upgraded to the newest CommentLuv plugin. It took a few tries, but I now have it working properly.
My Friday Question:
How many hours a day (average) do you spend on blogging activities?
For me, at times it seems my blog is always on my mind, but having checked how much time I spend on writing/editing posts, answering comments, visiting other blogs and commenting, working behind the scenes, checking stats, checking/answering emails, and partaking in social networking , I average 8 hours a day.
And to think, I call myself a part-time blogger. Whew!
By the way, today is also “Open Mic”
The floor is yours. You know the rules.
Blogging questions, comments and concerns are welcome.
Have Fun!
Keep it Clean!
And don’t forget to either check the “subscribe to comments on this post” box, or subscribe to my comments RSS feed (upper right sidebar), so you can follow along.
Happy Blogging & Have A Great Weekend!
