Recently, at the 8cr Author Pow Wow, we talked a lot about ways authors can get their ideas spread, and of course, Twitter.com was part of that discussion. The group ranged from those who were only familiar with Twitter, to those who used it daily. The variance in the latter group was how they were using it. Some sell directly from it (does this really work?) and some used it purely for personal thoughts and actions (sort of a public diary).
If you can handle a bit of profanity on a Monday morning, Axel Albin over at Tiny Gigantic posted some great information on *what* Twitter is, *why* people should use it, and *how* it can have an impact. If you’re not familiar with their blog, sign up for the feed – always great stuff going on over there.
