I just stumbled upon the site Nachofoto.com I use Nachofoto to promote my food & celebrity blog 1. http://celebritybodygossip.com/ 2. http://dietrecipesblog.com/ Nachofoto is really simple to use. "Just submit image links from your site to Nachofoto and you are done." I get lot of traffic from this site. Nachofoto also allows users to make free slideshows.The cool part about Nachofoto slideshows is that all images in the slideshow link back to the original website(from where that image was submitted to Nachofoto.com) It worth giving a try I love twitter too!!

I love the links people post and the variety of things they recommend and I learn so much. I get frustrated sometimes because i cannot follow a whole conversation because I only have half the people involved and people don't always use the @ to find the other half. I don't think its done anything for my traffic but then I havn't really tried to make it do so. I am more like a silent observer at a party listening to those popular people entertain us. It's a strange place but its fun. http://twitter.com/ImGenie say hello I love reading twitter. I love the links people post and the variety of things they recommend and I learn so much.

If social media is about the conversation and the engagement, then asking the question instead of preaching is what its all about. And what better way to engage than to ask "what do you think?"

To address some of the questions coming in from those new to twitter and the skeptics: 1) there are tools to minimize the noise-factor on twitter. I think the "Flock" browser side bar is great--makes your twitter stream a sidebar 2) you can do the same as above and add value to your blog content by adding an rss widget that follows your twitter stream and shares with others. that way if you follow chris' advice of asking a question, direct tweats and other related commentary can be part of your blog context and add to the conversation 3) you can have your twitter twats update your facebook status line (mark silva is...) via the Twittersync application--this also will remove the "IS" if you like. If you use the Twitter application in Facebook it appends "is twittering" which is annoying and a ham-fisted brand play by the platform--no one in fact "is twttering" rather twitter is conveying their state of mind or action 4) you can search and create custom content rss feeds using the excellent search tool at www.terraminds.com -- i've used it to track @marksilva posts so that i get direct-message notifications via phone, email, rss reader, etc. Finally, someone asked about whether to post personal of professional content. I do a little of both because people who follow me are also employees, friends and colleagues and I do believe that what is true in our heart of hearts is universal, so worth sharing. Also, b/c it shows up in my Facebook status, it's appropriate to "keep it real." hope this is helpful. cheers! silva http://www.twitter.com/marksilva http://www.marksilva.com Great post and comments.

It would make it easier to find people with similar interests to follow. It seems that the search only looks at name and bio info. I searched for "stock trading" which is what my blog is about and only found about 15 or so active users. http://twitter.com/twblogn Is there any way to search twitter posts for keywords?

Besides that, I have to agree with Anna. Isn't it nice to just disconnect at a certain moment and do things that really matter in life? I mean in real life!
