I also started Tweeting on Twitter.

Twitter, twitter and twitter. It seems now everybody started tweeting. Different people use twitter for different purpose. Twitter ask you a simple question- "What are you doing?" Some people use Twitter to share their personal thoughts, some shares about conferences and places they visited and some shares knowledge about their products to generate revenue (serious game).

If you are already following on twitter, I am sure your home page is flooded with tweets. I joined twitter last week and got more that 1000+ tweets!!

The question arises here about the value we are getting from twitter or the importance of twitter. Well I think we can exploit twitter to get updates and news about new things around us. The kind of tweets you are getting depends upon whom you are following and what you are tweeting.

If you are following people who are in same profession to you, it will give you good learning about your industry. If you are replying to the tweets then it will surely help to create long time relations. The twitter business model is now loved and accepted by everyone, atleast after Dell made $ 1 million just by tweeting!!

Tweeter is a very effective medium to connect and share with your friends, colleagues, relatives and other. It help to inform about what are you doing and whats your plans over weekend and so on.

So now I want to share some simple tips and tools to use your twitter for making friends, informing your manager or as a marketing tool.
