During my One Week of Twitter experience I learned a lot of different uses for Twitter. By reading and listening to Professor Nixon’s blog Twitter: What’s in it for me? I learned some new ways that I could utilize my Twitter account.
I have had a Twitter account for a little over a year now and I’ve basically only used it to connect with my friends and family. Before my One Week of Twitter experience I saw Twitter as a public text messaging device for me to stay in touch with my friends and family. After adding the PR practitioners that were suggested on Professor Nixon’s blog I was opened up to an entire different side of Twitter! Most of the blogs that I read now have been suggested by the PR practitioners that I now follow. Before this experience I was using Twitter.com just as another fun social network. Now when I log on to my Twitter account I expect to learn something new or read an exciting blog.
Twitter is an entirely different world to me now that I’ve added the PR practitioners suggested to me on the Twitter Starter Pack. Also, just like any other member of Twitter, I like getting new followers and having new people read what I talk about and the practitioners that I followed also followed me back! All of the practitioners that I follow are now following me which also has forced me to change the way that I use my Twitter. I try to more often talk about things that people want to read and keep my side conversations to the text messaging. This was a very exciting and enlightening experience and I will definitely continue to use my Twitter accordingly and read the blogs suggested by my new Tweople!
