Topic: Anyone on Twitter?

[gothamtomato]

Is anyone here using twitter? Is there a point to it or is it just another high tech way to waste time?

I signed up, just to register my names - should I want to use it for something (not sure what) in the future. But now what (other than posting random thoughts)??

Hi, yes I'm on Twitter, I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure at the moment whether it's useful but it is a great way to waste a lot of time!

Hi Deborah

As for it's use - random thoughts abound, but there are intelligent meaningful tweets too (mine for instance ) I like it for keeping in touch with people - I dont think I'd use it from a pc or laptop though, but it's great with my iPod Touch  - other mobile devices are available

Outside of keeping in touch with friends, spreading links to content that has moved/touched/impressed/annoyed you and telling everyone what you had for lunch, I find Twitter is incredibly useful as an announcement tool...a fact that has escaped almost none of the Filmwasters extended family who use it. I've been on Twitter for a couple of years now and love it. Check the thread that Leon referenced above to see my long 'Twitter is good' post.

I get the announcement part. I do have friends who have used it to twitter their thoughts while behind the scenes at Fashion Week shows (which were VERY entertaining - because they happen to be very  funny guys).

I'm thinking that maybe I just need to be more organized to utilize it; start letting customers know I'm on it, build my list, then use it to announce shows or new images (when my on-line store goes up).

I had started a blog ( http://gothamtomato.blogspot.com ) a while back, but soon realized that I don't have as much to say as I thought I did. Or at least, not as much to post within the framework of an essay. I started second-guessing myself; continually asking myself if things were really blog-worthy. And I think that the best blogs have a distinctive voice, and I couldn't figure out what I wanted my blog voice to be. Should it be serious or humorous (or could it be both)? I tend to be a rather goofy person, and like to post silly things, (and sometimes political things) but if I do that, will that hurt my sales? I don't know. My pictures are really an extention of my personality, so if someone doesn't like my blog (or twitter) personality they likely wouldn't like my pictures either. So much to consider. Or maybe I'm over-thinking it.

So many other things to do, to distract me, I haven't posted to the blog in a while. Just started on twitter yesterday: http://twitter.com/gothamtomato
