I've used it for all the same reasons as you, except the RSS reader. I would never have thought of that. Not sure why. Do you have more than one reader than, such as google, and than follow feeds on Twitter? Also, is Twitter set up like other readers so you can get all the Tweeters in one Twitter Reader, each in an individual thread? I mean like Google or Bloglines? Wow, if that's true, I didn't know. Please reply if you can, and how to check into it! Thanks! What else do I use Twitter for? Intellectual stimulation! As you made reference to, I have found those on Twitter some of the most intelligent, intellectual and fascinating people. I work at home, and I often don't have interaction with those like me, both in and out of my niche. So it is refreshing to find likeminded people to talk to! Ones that think similar to you, yet that really stretch your mind, and help you grow! Truly amazing are the people on Twitter. I had never known, nor would I have ever thought I would be on. I had not too good experiences on Facebook and swore I would never go on Twitter. When I found those who twittered I was so delighted! There are people from all walks of life! Perhaps this may be a little controversial, but I use Twitter for a little bit of fun and play as well. My nice is blogging (as well as some other things as well, actually), and I often post "blogging tips" posts. At the same time, I feel we should also post fun things! While work is always fun and interesting to me, so is play! I believe in the motto "work hard, play hard." So if I find something of quality that is fun, I post that also. For example, I may post a funny cartoon in a blog or newspaper, a silly or cool video on youtube, a fun question others may want to answer, a link to a page of earrings my female blogger friends may want to look at -- & I ask them which pair they like best. Yes, it's controversial what I am doing, I know. Most NEVER do this. They want me to "cut it out" b/c they say it is "work time." I know I have lost followers b/c of doing this. Especially in my niche. They will stay on the web from early, early morning till sometimes midnight and NEVER post anything but work and an occassional "it snowed today." If I post a funny Christmas cartoon amidst many serious posts, they unfollow me. I find this amusing that some decide they shouldn't be associated with me (and therefore they unfollow me), merely because I have occassional fun throughout the day, such as posting Christmas carolers who can't sing, or saying that we should "mail our packages early, so that the post office can lose them in time for Christmas" (Jonny Carson). I think looking at a quick joke is just as important and interesting as "it is snowing." I know that I am unfollowed, I have seen it, and it's because I am supposed to be "at work" as most view it, and I need to be "serious." Well, if we are at a "cocktail party," as Perry Belcher intimates, why can't we have an occassional good time? We are working and having fun. I work very, very hard and play the same way. Intelligent play is fun too! Very much so. Tasteless play, never ever. So whoever wants to unfollow me b/c they are worried that I am not sophisticated enough for their friends and followers, so be it! Gee, do I sound defensive, LOL? Who cares! I think I just wrote my next blog post! Sorry if this was too long...

Having the ability to quickly answer someone's question or solve their problem is exciting to me as well. The biggest frustration for me is being able to track direct replies. I have used twirl, tweetdeck and summize in addition to the website. It gets distracting and confusing if you are trying to do other business at the same time. So sometimes I just have to shut it down completely. (but I hate missing any breaking news!) Thanks for sharing your insight into how to use twitter as a relationship and business building tool.
