Title: Twitterers and Tweeting
Post by: Snoopy on May 09, 2011, 08:40:03 AM
How many here also Tweet (use Twitter)?

Is there any advantage to us to include a "Twitter" link to our pages?

Well I noticed that a lot of sites also have a "Follow us on Twitter" button and was wondering if it might attract new people.

Looking at the Twitter site it seems easy enough to do and FREE.

It seems that tweeters can follow brief resumes of what is being posted and join in but only to the limit of 140 characters ... which might just encourage them to sign up to see the whole thing. One of us would, I think, have to post the Tweets to update on what we are doing...... but more investigation will take time and if no one here is interested then I'll not waste any more time on it.

Just a thought...... Hence the question .... basically trying to see who knows owt about it really.
