Twitter is hot! I heard a statistic yesterday that it had grown 30% in one month. Don’t quote me on that statistic. In any case, it is grown a lot! More and more people are joining Twitter. There are more comments about it on television. I have even heard several members of my own family say: “Twitter” what is that?

I joined Twitter several months ago and occasionally I would go on it and add a update. I did not really get what all the excitement was about. Two people who were on a panel at a conference in Las Vegas had said they did not use their emails as much since they had started to use Twitter. I admit I just did not get it. How do you control those incoming Tweets?

Even in all my confusion, I started tweeting and decided that I would just have to figure it out. I was thrilled when I found my first ebook on how to use Twitter and I quickly downloaded it. I also printed out the “Welcome to Twitter Support! The section on Fun Stuff: friends, favorites, and stats taught me the commands to send private messages, mark updates, or even remind someone to update their Twitter page. At least that was a start.

Meanwhile I worked on building my followers. People are really nice. If you follow them, generally they follow you back. I concentrated on people whose names I knew and were primarily internet marketers. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with all of it, but it was and is fun.

Lately, I have found some great resources that teach you how to control and expand your use of Twitter. There was Tweetdeck.com, Twellow, and TweetLater. I now know how to control my daily updates, email to my followers, and all around navigate Twitter. I have come a long way.

Now, I have joined the ranks of those people who rave about how much fun Twitter is. It is great interacting and getting to know other Internet Marketers on a daily basis. Who would have known that I have things in common with Jason Calcanis, Joel Comm, Mike Paetzold, Joel Osborne and others? Love it, Love it, Love it!
