Occasionally, I like to remind folks about the benefits of following my twitter feed. I’d like to echo what many of my fellow creators are saying: It is really just about the best way to keep up with everything that’s going on with ExtraLife, ELR, The Instance, live drawing nights, art projects, comic creation nights, Nerdtacular, weird news bits, local meetups, and more.
I read all replies in Twitter, and that makes it a great tool for me to see what you are thinking, check out your links and thoughts, and give a general gateway to the fan base.
You can follow me right here!
could you consider using identi.ca? (http://identi.ca/)
you can connect it to your twitter account, and that would allow tuxtards and other freedom lovers to follow you as well.
I finally listened to a live session of The Instance last week after subscribing to Scott’s Twitter feed. Jsut be careful who you follow – there are unethical marketing firms out there who *will* spam your twitter once they get you signed up.
Loved by twits around the world.
If only more twitter haters could see this. Twitter makes being a social media person/web site owner a lot more fun and interactive.
I’ve been using twitter for a while now, and it really is great. Not sure how you could be a twitter hater. What’s to hate?
(I’m already sorry I asked.)
hehe, firestorm starts in 3,2,1…
It’s more direct and instant than email. Me likes.
I’m sorry, but I just do not get Twitter. The only use I have found for it is a medium to easily keep in touch with my wife the few time I have to go out of town a year. Other than that, I’ll just check out the blog once a day for a few good posts instead of seeing 20+ sentences a day on completely random things that are not as interesting to me.
I am not trying to hate on Twitter, but I just do not see the point of it. What am I missing? What makes it so great?
/me checks.
/me still doesn’t see the point, people are boring.
As I was reading the question, “What makes it so great?” a new tweet popped up in my client, from Ars Technica, about Professor Layton 2 coming to North America. If that isn’t great, I don’t know what is.

It matters to the people to whom it matters. There is no argument. Keep up the great work, Scott.
I agree… I check Twitter, Facebook, and email daily. I also maintain all my accounts there too. Plus, I sometimes say non-asshole things there. SHOCKER!
I keep getting the “too many tweets” error.
And it shows a whale being carried by birds..? Should that be more like a million birds in a box being held by a scrawny little geek about to drop them? I mean, a whale? I didn’t know whale’s tweeted, not to mention that it’s just one tweet. If that one, massive tweet is what is causing the trouble, they should ban whoever keeps posting that death-tweet. 
I kinda agree w/ Precious Roy above. I have been using twitter for a couple months now (along with a corresponding iPhone app). I have since been following 7 people and I already find it a chore to keep up with the messages on some days. Of those 7 only 1 has followed me in return, so it is definately not a reciprical form of communcation. In replying to Twitters of those 7, never once recieved a reply back, except from the one who followed me, so I have come to the conclusion that (according to my sample
) about 14% of twitter users are really interested in communication, everyone esle is just feeding their ego (I’ve got X,000 followers 
). There definitely needs to be a book on Twitterquette written up. And now that celebrities and TV stations have taken it over, I have really started to lose interest.
