I was nervous about using Twitter, too, but I really love it! I've found so many other bloggers via Twitter, so it's helped in building relationships that way. Also, you can link up your blog to your Twitter account so that your posts' links are auto published to your Twitter feed - another way to get your content out there. Lastly, I like following companies and products on Twitter; it's a neat way to hear about deals and free stuff (sometimes!) Good luck!

I've never tweeted, nor do I think I will. Right now I have a website, facebook, blog, and numerous emails. That's way to much to keep up with as it is, let alone adding one more thing.

But a lot of people do it...so good luck!!

oh, and sorry you're feeling bad. i was sick on Monday and it was all around poopiness.

I also read somewhere that you get the most out of Twitter when you interact with other people, which means @ responding and joining some of the # chats. There are a bunch of running and fitness specific chats worth joining!

I don't know how to operate twitter...
Maybe one day I'll venture into that world, but not likely.

I have days like that...when I'm off of work and no one else is. And then I just feel like poo.

You've got the twitter button...
I use it to "feed" my posts, it lets people know you have a new post if they don't use google reader. Also people who follow you on twitter, but don't follow your blog are alerted. You can do it through twitterfeed.com or you can set up your feedburner feed to work the same way.
I have to say I don't use it a ton other than that, there just isn't enough time in the day. :)

yayyy I'm so glad you joined! Here, try this to see if it will help you add the follow button on your page: http://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/112-linking-to-your-blog-or-website/articles/20164833-how-to-add-the-follow-button-to-your-website

I just joined too but it helped me get a few new followers and I always put my new posts on there. It's a great way to discuss things about your training without having to do an entire post. Hashtags are helpful and will help people find you. ie like hashtagging #halfmarathon if you were talking about running a half marathon or training for one. That way, if other people are looking for stuff regarding half marathons they would find you and may even ask qs or vice versa and could answer a q you had.
