One way to get people to visit your Twitter page is to promote it on your blog or website. I do. When people – especially twitterers - visit your blog, they are directed to your Twitter site as well if your blog has button asking people to follow you on Twitter. Having a twitter widget is useful if your blog readers want to read your twitterings without visiting Twitter. If people want to visit Twitter to see what it has to offer, they can click on your twitscoop icon on your web page.

I find Twitter useful for building relationships and to find news and articles that otherwise wouldn’t be find – then they can be share with others through any other online spaces such as blogs, Facebook, Delicious – and retweets. I try to provoke, and to say something that is newsworthy - as well as twitter aimlessly on the odd occasion that I haven’t had enough coffee.
