I have resisted for a while but I have finally given in and joined Twitter!
Twitter if you haven’t heard of it before, which would be surprising because everyone seems to have heard of it, is a social media and micro-blogging site that allows users to send updates or Tweets up to 140 characters long. Twitter has become hugely popular over the past couple of years and is a great way to connect with people in a more relaxed way.
I have started to use this service recently, and I have found it easy to use with help available if needed.
On the downside the last few times I have tried to login on the site itself, I haven’t been able to because Twitter has been too busy!
But there are loads of plugins and extensions for Twitter that can be used to make life easier, here are just a few:
Twitbin
TwitterFeed
Twitt-Twoo
TwitterFox
Twitterbar
I have just started using TwitterFox which is a Firefox browser extension that allows users to send updates from a box in the browser, without having to be on the Twitter site and makes things really quick and easy. And I am going to start using TwitterFeed which posts your blog’s feed to Twitter whenever it’s updated.
Do you Tweet?

I’ve only just started using it and therefore don’t know enough about it to comment constructively. But it is true that the monetization methods for Twitter are not immediately obvious (if any).
The clever part would be finding out what they do and how…
