How journalists can make the most of Twitter

TWEET, tweet, tweet, that's all I'm hearing today. Arriving back at my desk, I see author Nick Daws is now following me on Twitter and there's a debate about whether it's worth it on Journobiz.

Best of all, Paul Bradshaw gives an all-points-covered rundown here. Excellent stuff - especially the bit that advises to just give it a go.

I wrote about Twitter in Press Gazette last year.

As someone who used to write for a now defunct blog called Twitterati, I was also interested to read a Shiny take on the top 25 Twitterers and Twitter services. And how did I come to know of such a post? Well erm, by Twitter of course.

Follow me here if you're interested. (Latest update: Back from the nutritionist. In tears. In a good way.)

Thanks for the mention, Linda, and for signing up to follow me on Twitter. Anyone else is welcome to do likewise (see URL below)!

Personally I'm still getting to grips with how best to use Twitter, but from reading the relevant Journobiz thread, I guess I'm not the only one!

I read your Twitter article. Good information. I'll schedule Twitter into my day. I've connected with other screenwriters, but haven't communicated with them.
