What's All The Fuss About This Twitter Thing?

 

Sure, you're computer literate:  you use e-mail, you have a website, you blog and you even have a Facebook account.  You keep hearing about this silly Twitter thing and you have no idea what all the fuss is about. 

 

You may have created a Twitter account, yet you just can't understand what to do with it.  First things first:  before you can experience the power of Twitter, you have to start "following" people; otherwise all you'll be looking at is a pretty and blank Twitter profile page.

 

How do you find people to follow?  You can use the search browser and look for them by name or you can employ any of these free sites: 

 

NearbyTweets.com    Find Twitter users nearby (check by location and zip code): 

 

LocalTweeps.com    Find Tweeters in your area and list yourself in the directory by zip code

 

Twellow.com    Twitter yellow pages

 

GeoFollow.com   Add yourself to this site and start becoming visible in your area

 

WeFollow.com     Whether you want to find Brittany Spears, Oprah, Ashton Kutcher or CNN Breaking News, this is the site for you.  You can enter your subject of interest and find the top Twitters for that niche. 

 

Setting up your profile and using Twitter is free.  Once you find the people you want to follow, the Twitter magic will start unraveling, I promise you!  Stay tuned for the next Twitter post!   I am an Information Hog, and Twitter has been feeding me plenty.  I will teach you everything you need to know in order to drive traffic to your website and blog using Twitter, plus learn a ton in the process.
