You Can Now Follow @Blogussion on Twitter!

by Alex · 22 comments

Finally, I have got­ten around to adding a Twit­ter account to Blo­gus­sion. I think it is one of those things to do for a lit­tle more reader con­nec­tion, and that’s cool with me.

It is my belief that you should fol­low any one who fol­lows you, and that’s what we will be doing with the @Blogussion Twit­ter account. I feel like we can really take the dis­cus­sion up a few notches with this Twit­ter account finally set up, so hit us up when­ever if you have any ques­tions, or just want to talk to us.

So some of the other things I want to add that will hope­fully increase the incen­tive for you guys to fol­low us and spread the word about our account to all of your friends are:

  • Get Updated When We Update Our Blog
  • When­ever Janith or I write a post, a link to it will auto­mat­i­cally be posted on the Twit­ter account. I don’t know if the Twit­ter feed app we use updates faster than some RSS read­ers, but we’ll just have to see then. ;)

  • Get Posts From Other Blogs
  • Yeah, we will be link­ing to other blogs on Twit­ter. We want to pro­vide you with other insights on blog­ging top­ics from other great blog­ging blogs like Blog­ging Tips (they also just set up their Twit­ter account @BloggingTipsCom), How To Make My Blog (@HowToMakeMyBlog), Blogses­sive (@Blogsessive), and some others.

    Like one of the amaz­ing quotes in our side­bar says:

    Link to your ene­mies. Link to your com­peti­tors. Link to every­one. Instead of being sticky, be linky

  • Fun Facts/Blogging Tips in 140 Characters
  • So we don’t seem to be like all we do is link to stuff, we will post some blog­ging tips on Twit­ter in 140 char­ac­ters or less. Lit­tle “Quick Tips” I guess you could call them.

  • We WANT to Talk to You
  • Seri­ously, we aren’t going to be the typ­i­cal blog­ging news feed! Send us some @messages and we will talk to you. We can dis­cuss blog­ging, answer ques­tions, take post requests, any­thing blog­ging related really.

Hope you fol­low us guys, we want to build a really cool blog­ging resource. :) Remem­ber, we will fol­low you back if you fol­low us!

Using Twitter is really a smart choice in building a community. And I think it will really help your blog as it is helping me also.

(Alex I found one error in this post. You linked Blog URL of “How To Make My Blog” with BloggingTips twitter ID; which I think is the mistake)

Moving on; I will also suggest you to add the new Twitter ID field in the comment box like I did few days back. This will help your readers add their twitter ID while commenting. More info on it:

Hope you will find my suggestion useful :)
Thanks!

Ah woops, thanks for pointing out that mistake! I will fix it now.

You know, I have seriously been meaning to add that plugin here for a very long time! I have wanted to follow all of the Blogussion readers on Twitter, but I never actually took that plugin as seriously as I should have. Consider it done after I reply to some more comments here. :)

I have used Twitteriffic and Tweetie, but not TweetDeck. Is TweetDeck compatible with Growl?

OK what’s Growl?

I just use the one twitter account which is easy for me to run but it does force a lot of people away as they want to see tweets about how to make money, not how to make money and some personal tweets between me and friends.

Maybe a second one would not be such a bad idea.

Alex April 23, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Yeah Dean, that was one of my thoughts as well. I have my Twitter account as my name, and that would appear to be a more of a personal Twitter use instead of blogging or whatever. So I figured I would make a separate account and see how it goes.

I guess it just depends on how big your screen is to see. If you don’t mind, would you be willing get a screenshot? Just to see how cut off it is. and see if I can fix it.
