Jane, it works on so many levels doesn’t it? 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.

Good post! 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!

Hi I’m the same. I love blogging, but the flow of ideas and conversation on Twitter is something else. Finding people who are interested in similar ideas / values is also, as you say, a real buzz

yes ! just a few days ago I got interested in Altered books so searched for it on Twitter and got a great link to forward to a biz assoicate and also added a few more people to my follow list on an interesting topic. I’ve been doing twitter since Dec and have found far more interesting connections and conversations than even blogging. I’m really looking forward to meeting more tweeters in person in the next year.

Jan, what I love about Twitter is the way you can keep customising your stream so it gives you what you want (which isn’t likely to be bang over the head marketing!). I have made some extraordinarily wonderful connections there, and I hope you do too. Please keep an eye out for those that I’m chatting to on twitter and feel free to connect up with them too – they are kind, funny, generous, interesting people. I’m sure you’d like them.

I had dumped Twitter as too many of my 'followers' were using it in what I considered a crass way, as a 'bang you over the head' marketing tool - endlessly banging on about all the benefits they could bring me. I opened a new account (@groovy_granny) and use it very careful - yes, to find out what Wossy et al are up to, but with the ultimate intention of making authentic connections. What you've said here, Joanna, really struck a chord for me. Thank you. Jan Scotts last blog post..a suitable gift for a boy
