Chris: How To Use Twitter

Chris/Treasured Valley: I use Twitter to broadcast my blog feed (same with Facebook), but I also use it as a communication medium. It's a great way to have short conversations with people about either the links that went out or anything. It's also a really great way to find out what is going on as it happens. I run a separate computer that has Tweetdeck running on it (http://twitpic.com/q0snn) so I can constantly know what is going on, mainly because I'm an information junkie. It's a great way for a link to get passed around between people and a great way to get new eyes on your stuff. If someone likes something they can “retweet” it to their followers and so on and so forth. Same thing applies to Facebook.

DFO: Chris's Treasured Valley is the go-to site for news and blog links from the Boise-Nampa-Caldwell area. You should bookmark him. He's referring to the fact that Huckleberries Online now uses Twitter. I'll probably add a Facebook fan page next week.

Question: Are you signed up for Twitter?
