Like so many people I am on Twitter, and I am guessing like so many people I have no real idea why. I signed up a few years ago when it was the done thing to do. I was all excited and wondering just what doors it would open, and in truth the answer all these years later was none. Twitter for me thus far has been a total waste of my time.
My theory on Twitter is that it is suitable for the famous, suitable for those who have followers, footballers, TV stars and the like. I see politicians on there and I guess they see it as a way to communicate with the masses, or at least with the press who are following thier every Tweet. So if you already have a voice then Twitter is a good way of getting your word out there. But what, like me, you don't, what if like me, no one cares what you have to say, then why be on Twitter.
I guess if you have a network of friends then yes it could be a good way of keeping that group updated and connected, but unless you already have an offline group, then once again what's the point. But over and over I keep hearing and reading about the value and connectivity of Twitter. So maybe I am missing something. Certainly it is interesting to follow others, I follow certain footballers, from my team, and yep it is interesting to catch a peep into thier world. So although it has not openned a door, it has allowed me to peek through the curtains of these peoples lives.
Maybe I need to find followers, but I have to be honest and say I have absolutely no idea just how to do that. How do you get more and more people to follow you ? At this time I have about 50 people following me on the site and I follow about 150, so I need to find the answer to that, and if anyone can help, or advise please feel free to post up a message.
