I've been a Twitter member for a long time, and enjoy checking things out several times a day. Of course, there ARE many added benifits, too.

For those of you wondering, here's why you might want to consider becoming a "Tweeter" yourself.

    Hmm, I've never thought of it that way.
    I just checked my profile and it has a PR of 2.

    It is a new profile, but a PR 2 in such a short time is quite impressive.

    question is are the links DO FOLLOW, i got 1 PR 5, PR 6 and several PR4. Trick is to link your twitter account to your blog posts, so they tweet your posts automatically.

    Thanks for the post

    My Twitter page is PR5, but I always thought that Twitter was NOFOLLOW?? I link to my main site from Twitter, and haven't seen any significant PR improvement on there.

      I noticed that too...they must be not weighting it the same as a regular site. but it still can send a lot of traffic.

        Oh yeah, I get some traffic from it, so not complaining. I have all my blogs auto tweet, so there's plenty of activity on my page, and I get regular visitors to my sites. Just didn't think the PR counted for much :confused:

    Twitter is such a great and powerful marketing tool. I enjoy using it to stay in touch with folks and in doing business.For the purpose that Twitter was created makes it important enough.

      But wait - aren't we constantly told here that "PR doesn't count for anything".

      Maybe it counts when you have it - and isn't a valid measure when you don't have it?

      I'll admit to be perhaps the lone Twitter holdout on the WF. I really don't like it - but I'm not all that social so that may be the reason.
