Tweetbacks : Steal your comments from Twitter !
Tweetbacks
Ready for some action ? Okay, we are going to steal some comments for your blog posts from twitter. Don’t worry, they took our comments first, now we are stealing them back, so you will not be punished ( if you get caught, I don’t know you, ok ? )
Check out some blogs, with loads of twitter love. They get hundreds of RTs about theirs posts, and we envy their Tweetme counts. But most of these blog posts with 100+ tweets about them, do not get many comments. People tweet about them but ignore the comment form. But, they still love your those blog posts.
Twitter : Will you follow me just because I followed you ?
Twitter Wallpaper
This is not a “happy” post. Â I am just explaining how I feel about a certain nature of some ( read many ) twitizens, they follow you just because you followed them, or they follow you, to make you follow them.
Should I follow you just because you followed me ? Is it the only way to say thanks to my new follower ? Of course not, an RT, or a Direct message will do. But still, people do follow back. Are you expecting someone to follow you back, just because you followed them ?
Okay, let me make this clear. I will follow people only if their tweets are useful or good or nice etc. ie, if I am interested in what they tweet about. Â If you are following me, thank you, thank you very much, but don’t follow me just because I followed you, but only if my tweets are useful to you !
ain’t that fine people ?

Your Tweets Make Me Feel Good
When twitter became popular, I thought people will stop blogging and start twittering. But people started blogging about twitter. More blogs were created serving various aspects of twittering. When I started twittering, it influenced my blogging habits in a positive way. Your tweets make me feel good, and keep me inspired.
I Read More
I get to read more interesting articles, thanks to twitter. 90% of tweets that I see, includes a link. It could be an article that they liked, their own blog post, or a funny picture. Anything worth a retweet is shared among everyone, and we all read it. Other than comment forms on blogs, Twitter gave me another platform to communicate, share and socialise. Continue reading

Are you addicted to twitter ?
I have no idea why I am spending this much time on twitter. When I have nothing else to do, I keep reloading my twitter page for new tweets ( I haven’t installed any twitter tool yet .. Â may be I will, soon .. ). And even when I have something important to do, I keep coming back to twitter, for another reload.
I created twitter account a few months back and left it there and Twitter was not popular like this. Â Even when I saw twitter’s popularity growing, I didn’t feel like using it because I had nothing to do with twitter, or I have no idea what the use was, for me.
Initially, like many others I was also thinking this, why should I tell the world “What I am doing” using a website, and 140 characters ? Then twitter changed in to something more … Obama started twittering .. CNN , Facebook, Google … and then Google started worrying about twitter launching search and then ads … people started  dreaming about their tweets being published in newspapers like their blog entries do.
