Both have led to an increase in my personal blog traffic and webpage traffic, though Facebook seems the better vehicle for staying in touch with readers and my family. On Twitter I mostly I follow other writers and publishing information. If I had to give one up, it would be Twitter, but for now the two co-exist in harmony. With all the social networking groups out there, these are the only two I bother with any longer.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-55128412467397843552009-07-28T13:02:19.072-04:002009-07-28T13:02:19.072-04:00Funny and inspiring post, Gin.

I'm on Twitter, but so far haven't delved very far into figuring out all the ins and outs of the app. But a couple days ago I upgraded to an I-phone, and now I feel obligated to put it to good social networking use!Cricket McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786996969148417569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-73114307239793626992009-07-28T12:19:33.045-04:002009-07-28T12:19:33.045-04:00Deb - I hung around the dry cleaners for *hours* a...Deb - I hung around the dry cleaners for *hours* and no one took my picture. Oh, well, I'll try again tomorrow.<br /><br />Alan - you've given me an idea. I could write off the hairdresser visits as research on my taxes, couldn't I? I absolutely swear it's the only place I read Us or People. It's really like a library, when you think about it.<br /><br />Elizabeth and Lisa - Only downside is, authors end up talking to each other on Twitter, Facebook, etc. It's what we enjoy doing, but it's probably not reaching readers.G.M.

Research for an upcoming book?<br /><br />Of course, I'm on Twitter, too, but I'm still trying to figure out what all the RT's and ##'s mean.Alan Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695574442723430347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-10043854379016521622009-07-28T07:32:29.217-04:002009-07-28T07:32:29.217-04:00I was not familiar with Ashton Kutcher until he st...I was not familiar with Ashton Kutcher until he started dating Demi Moore (who's in my age group). Then I heard about him and Twitter. And, of course, he sells cameras. We authors could probably learn alot about promotion from him.Lisa Borkhttp://www.lisabork.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-72635740646530081512009-07-28T07:06:17.748-04:002009-07-28T07:06:17.748-04:00It's hard to open up on Twitter, isn't it?...It's hard to open up on Twitter, isn't it? I was a slow convert to Twitter, but have discovered that I'm getting much more traffic at my blog due to the application. I'm following mostly writers/reviewers/book people, and it's been a pretty painless way to keep up with the industry.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.com
