Twitter - still trying to figure it out.
I did finally get around to reading all the posts about Twitter I had been collecting, and a few more. I even installed Twirl yesterday. But I have to say - I still don’t totally get it. I guess I mostly can’t figure out what I would say with it that anyone would care to hear.
I’ll keep watching on Twirl and maybe I’ll get the hang of it after a while. I’m thinking I may stop following some people though - its nothing personal - just more than I can keep up with.
One of the posts I read suggested having multiple accounts - I wish I had thought of that before. That could be helpful. I know different people from different contexts and some of them just would not be interested in things that people from other contexts would be.
Here are the posts I read:

Hi Trisha,
Thank you for the resource links to other posts on Twitter. Personally I haven’t joined Twitter….not sure if it would be a great benefit or just another distraction. Thanks for the tip that suggested having multiple accounts. This is particularly if you are targeting different markets.
A link you might find helpful is Ed Dale’s http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/. Ed gives a step-by-step, of not only Twitter to help you profit online but to gain coverage for your blogs or sites. Really is amazing info that he gives away freely.

Thanks for the link - I will check that!
I think I am starting to get twitter now. I’m using it with Twirl. I don’t understand this ‘pausing’ thing it does though. I can see how it can be helpful. I think it is best not to follow too many people with it though. At least at first.
