Tune in to other people's messages, listen out for something that makes a connection with you, and then respond positively to that conversation. You basically need to be a celebrity to grab someone's attention just by broadcasting. Hope that helps... Michael the trick to Twitter is to listen, not broadcast.

Does that ever change? My Twitter experiences feel like opening the window, shouting 140 characters or less, closing the window, and wondering if anybody even noticed. Does that ever change?

Twitter really is a long term investment... in conversations, relationships, friendships. Much more rewarding than having a post 'go viral'... never happened to me yet... but a lot of amazing and rewarding things have happened as a result of conversations and foolish everyday 140 characters, shared.

Oh my, there I go. I never know how these things all connect up. I'm just a low-tech kind of gal just figuring it all out as I go along. Anyway, I enjoyed reading your posts about Twitter because, obviously, I don't really understand it! And I'm a bit impatient, keep expecting to wake up in the morning and learn that one of my brilliant posts on my brilliant blog has "gone viral" (whatever that means--I just know that it is supposed to be a good thing). And nothing close to it is happening. Oh well. You have convinced me to stay with it. @delightfulrepas Joanna, I’m glad someone in my limited Twitter circle retweeted or something and somehow got your tweet on my whatever … Oh my, there I go.

But does take a while to 'click'. It's always good to find people who've stuck with it and are reaping the rewards in the way that you are. Jane, it works on so many levels doesn’t it?

I found myself trying to explain twitter to someone yesterday, much along the lines you describe. At first I found it inane and banal and then suddenly it clicked. And now I love it. I tend to view as a room full of virtual colleagues (great when you're working away on your own). Some people I pass the time of day with, some give me good tips, (and hopefully I return the compliment), and some hav ebecome friends. I have even met up with some of my Twitter women in Edinburgh (I'm Bath based) and am giving a talk to Fife Women in Business on the strength of twitter contacts! Jane Good post!
