After seeing a post about Twitter on She Lives, I decided to check out . I set up a Twitter for my blog …….
Twitter only allows less than 15 characters in the name, so I shortened A Southern Daydreamer to SouthDaydreamer. If you would like to follow me on Twitter click HERE.
What is Twitter? From Wikipedia:
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.
Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS, or email, or through an application such as Tweetie, TwitterFon, Twitterrific, Feedalizr, and Facebook.
I haven’t had a chance to play around with it much yet. It looks like a neat way to get to know bloggers other than their posts….by answering the simple question “What are you doing?”
Do you twitter? Have you found any useful “tools” to go with twitter? Comment below and let me know what you think!

Susan, thank you so much for posting this info. I'm going to look into it. I've had non-bloggers ask me if there is a way they could be notified by email when I do a new posting, and this sounds like a Twitter would do that. I'll check it out. laurie

ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I'll have to look into this Twitter thing. Thanks for stopping by, I guess it is normal to be blue after Christmas. Things will get back to normal soon I'm sure. Happy New Year! Kristen
ReplyDeleteI heard of Twitter, but never really knew what it was. Thanks for the great informative post.
ReplyDeleteThe first I heard of it was a couple days ago when I was viewing another bloggers site and the Twitter sign in link kept popping up. I didnt know what it was so I just closed it. Thanks for letting me know and I will check it out also.
ReplyDeleteMy the way...so nice to meet you and your blog.
I've been on Twitter for awhile now...it's easy and quick. You can follow me @ darnold23. I don't have one just for my blog, but I do send a tweet with that info each time. I may have to look in to that later.
