Twitter: I have been using Twitter more to talk to authors. Last month we did a twitter book tour for a novelist and she received traffic to her website doing that. 2. Linked In: Haven't thought about using Q & A for that. Definitely want to try that one. However, I do use Linked In to get news from publicists and magazine editors. 3. Asked Readers: I have a Weekend Chatterbox feature that feeds from user comments. I got that idea from you, Daren. I get a nice number of hits from that. 4. Google: I use google, bloglines, technorati, topix, and google blog search to locate who's talking about my subject. I find new bloggers that way and introduce myself to them. 5.I use #5 for my 1Question Author Series. My readers love it, because it's short and I ask questions that newbie writers want to know from published authors and only publish the ones that have weight. 1.

Your way is far faster than emailing everyone you want to ask. I must get round to actually using Twitter. I guess I'll never be described as an early adopter of social media.

For a couple reasons: 1. I'm not sure I want people to know what the heck I'm doing all the time. Not because I'm doing bad things, but because I want to have a life beyond staring at gadgets all day long. I do that enough. I like looking at trees and oceans and sunsets and stuff. 2. Isn't a little isolated, solitary time better for the soul? Why must we constantly stay connected? Remember the good old days when we used drive with two hands on the wheel? Can you imagine Thoreau in his cabin at Walden, tweeting people every five freakin' minutes? Can't join yet! How come I keep resisting joining Twitter?

As my blog is all about political and cultural critique and analysis I find that including authorative comment, ether from more established blogs or other mainstream news sources works the best. This also has the added advantage of generating trackbacks to more established blogs, and so can increase your exposure to more established bloggers in your niche. very good tips Darren. personally ive never had much look with Twitter.
