@ IsraeliiMom I think Twitter just is something to be grateful for – the more I use it the more I think so. I’ll pop over and read yours in a mo No thanksgiving here either (I’m in Scotland) but a lot of my readers are in the US and I like to support tweetsgiving as an easy and simple way to raise money for a good cause.

@ John, it’s definitely worth thinking through what you want to get out of Twitter, because that’ll affect how you use it. The more you put in the more you’ll get out but those returns – for me anyway – have been around learning, ideas, friendship, motivation and support rather than a direct business benefit. But I know a lot of folk do use Twitter for business, and you’ll find lots of resources on the web explaining how you can do that.

I’ll admit that I’m a bit behind the times with Twitter. I’m active on Facebook and LinkedIn, and will likely get started with Twitter in January.

My concern is the return on time invested with social media. I’m a busy and productive writer, so I watch carefully what I do and how long it takes.

Funny, I just made a similar post about the great uses I have for Twitter (well different format and shorter list, but still…). No thanksgiving element though – we don’t celebrate it here

@ Jackie, it’s a great way to stay connected isn’t it? However near or far… the stream is always there.

@ Brad, thank you. I think you’re stretching way ahead of me in some uses of Twitter, but I still like the idea of being a Twitter pioneer

@ Jeanne, it’s wonderful to hear how much Twitter has added to your learning and your life. Me too. On many days it’s a lifeline of encouragement, good humour, friendship and suppport. As you say, what’s not to be thankful for!

Joanna, what a fabulous idea and post. I love that you included the Tweetsgiving widget. It’s not hyperbole to say that I have been thankful for twitter EVERY single day since I held my breath and jumped into the stream in April of this year. Your word choices resonating most in me included friendship – meeting people like you; courage, sharing, kindness and wit. My personal learning curve has been steep and my life is richer thanks to twitter. What’s not to like…and to be thankful for?

Joanna, Tweetsgiving is a neat idea. Your list is hard to improve on, but then you are a Twitter pioneer. Your love affair with this medium certainly inspired me, so my list will have to have your name on it!

I so agree with all of the above Joanna, and it’s been lovely for me to still be with my friends while I’ve explored pastures new – nothing like having a ‘local’ to pop into!
