I looked up from my computer and it was 8:15 p.m. Where the Tweet did the time go?
I've been messing around with Twitter the past week, trying to find ways to streamline my Tweets. I've made some progress with the number of people I'm following as well as the number of people that are following me.
My Twitter Grader rating is up to 95%, a substantial increase from a few days ago. TweetDeck has been working out nicely for me. But now I have a serious problem. I am following 729 people. Only 400 people are following me back. Maybe this is a big deal, maybe it's not. I don't know enough about Twitter yet to be able to form any meaningful conclusions.
Here's what I do know. I've made contact with 400 people - the people who either followed me directly or followed me back. That's huge to me. It's probably small potatoes to many of you, but I still find it amazing.
In trying to follow my 700+ new Twitter friends today I realized that I needed some clear cut guidelines. I simply can't read fast enough to follow every one, every day. I don't think I could do it even if I wasn't spending time blogging, doing CMAs, or showing homes.
I came across an interesting site TweetWasters that tracks the amount of time spent on Twitter. It uses a basic formula to figure out by the number of Tweets you do, how much time you're likely to have spent on Twitter. I don't know if it takes into consideration the amount you may be reading. I usually read 10-15 Tweets for every Tweet I do...until I find something I want to jump in on.
My rating on TweetWasters? "My Grandmother uses Twitter more than you do!" Well, if I can connect with 400 people and spend less time than Granny does on Twitter...I must be doing something right.
