More Twitter Discussion (Post 2).

If you missed my lame post about Twitter earlier this week, I'm going to continue the discussion here.

I read all your comments, poked around online to find more information, then said "to hell with it" and signed up. I love the idea of getting to know more of blogging friends over the site, as well as following some people and organizations that I hold dear to my heart. I'm not saying that I won't post a link every once in awhile, but you all sold me on the community aspect of twitter-something that is lacking here.

Anyway, I would love to add someone people to "tweet" at and I will apologize in advance for my noobness. I added a few of you who I know have twitter accounts listed on your blogs (that I found through the comments on my previous post). I am sure I will figure this all out, but more helpful hints would be wonderful. :)

For those of you who want to add me, my little name is "alliedanielson" Feel free to add/follow/whatever it is you do!

Questions About Twitter-In Terms of Blogging.

I am not a twitter member.

When twitter first hit the scene, it just wasn't interesting enough for me and I thought it would slowly go away. Well, it seems as if I was wrong and it appears that twitter is here to stay. And I know that a large portion of the blogging community utilizes it for communication and discussion.

So here are my questions for you all:

1. If you are a twitter member, what are the reasons why I should join?
2. How beneficial is your relationship with twitter in regards to bringing more people to your blog?
3. How do you utilize twitter in relationship to your blogging life?
4. Is there anything else I need to know before making my decision?

I am asking all these things because I am debating adding another responsibility to my life and blogging existence. I just don't know who to turn to for answers, so I am hoping you can all help me. :)

Thank you!
