[...] I am a regular Twitter user and use it mainly as a way to keep in touch with friends, contacts and even a few of the people I blog about.

And now, as it turns out, you're nobody if you're not on twitter (at least according to the song: http://faseidl.com/public/item/212447 ;-) EDIT by Alisha: I've changed the tinyurl link to show the actual link. No tinyurl links, please. I'd prefer my readers know where the links they click on are taking them.

Hi Jon,

Twitter isn’t guaranteed to help your business, but can potentially bring you more traffic, which can in turn help your business. It depends on whether or not the visitors coming from Twitter are interested in what you have to offer.

Twitter can be used in many ways, it’s all up to you. Just don’t expect Twitter to deliver a large amount of traffic.

Good luck with Twitter!

@Ed
Thanks for commenting. I also wonder the same thing, if I will continue using Twitter for the long term. If Twitter is just a fad, eventually people will stop using it because they either grew tired of it or moved on to something else. Without those people, I would have no reason to use Twitter.

@Jim
Thank you. I initially had this post sitting in the drafts and just ran with it yesterday and completed it this morning.

Hi Ali,

Great post. This is the review I wish I had read BEFORE using Twitter for the first time! Like you, I am not a fan (or user) of myspace but find Twitter extremely useful.

Like Big Ed says in his comment, it remains to be seen if Twitter will be here for the long-term or not, but with around 15 million users, most f whom are active, it certainly could be.

Thanks for a great post!

I have had a twitter account for a while, but recently I have just started using it more. I am still trying to figure out why I use it. I am a rather introverted person. Twitter helps me to be a little more extroverted. It has helped me to follow people that I listen to on podcast and read on blogs. I still have not decided if I will continue to use twitter for the long term or if twitter is just another fad. Time will tell.
