Still, I have 2300+ followers on Twitter and only 114 followers on my actual blog. I am trying t figure out how to use Twitter more effectively to grow my blog traffic. I have a hard time seeing how it is really a tool for marketing/promoting when all the traffic is ON Twitter--shouldn't we be using it to drive traffic to our actual platform? I for one have a lot more to say then 140 character blurbs that don't always make sense and unless I write a catchy headline or something, no one is clicking on the links I post on my tweets.

I saw the Nielsen piece suggesting Twitter may be a fad. While 60 percent aren't sticking around, retaining 40 percent of the millions joining monthly is a pretty sizable base. I'm betting Twitter's here to stay. It's immediacy offers a point of difference from other social networks and I've found it extremely functional for honing in on hot topics (love the Twitter trending topics and the new real-time scan feature) and for easily sharing useful links. The challenging part for me is being a good member of the Twitter community. Right now I'm not giving as much as I'm getting from my tweeps...though I'm trying! Great round-up Skye!
