Five non-obvious ways to use Twitter
(If you have more, write them in the guestbook & I'll add them here!)
- Twitter sharpens my copywriting skills--getting a point across in 200 characters tends to strip a lot of needless junk out of one's writing.
- Twitter helps me stay in front of my customers and readers.
- Sometimes even reading my RSS feeds just takes too much time and energy, but I can always spare a glance at Twitter.
- I always know where Hugh McLeod is flying next week.
- I find new stuff to blog about and follow up on. It's a little waterfall of new ideas delivered fresh to my computer every second.
