I put a widget in the bottom right of my sideboard (not sure yet if I'm going to keep it) that shows my last 5 tweets. 3 of them are automatic announcements of my latest blog posts. But one of the "silly" ones actually helped me stay productive. I said I'd driven home in the rain, and was going to write a blog post. Wouldn't you know, as the evening progressed, I really didn't feel like writing ... But since I'd already announced it to the world, I was able to zone the distractions out long enough to finish the dreamboard post ;-) Hi Mike,

For example, people are twittering things like "I just had a cup of coffee". Give me a break. I think I'm going to bail on it.

I've yet to determine how much additional time it's going to take. But so far, it appears to be a pretty easy way to expand my circle of influence. I've already got at 3 people following me, who I'd never met previously. There's a link to a good Twitter guide in my "favorites" post from Sunday. Hi Mike,

Do you use Twitter? I've heard so much about it, but I am not seeing how it is just a waste of valuable time. I have a twitter account and have posted in it, but do not see any return or how to get a return. Please educate me, as some people swear by it. Todd (or anyone). Do you use Twitter?

If they are willing to listen, it's fun. My son wants to be the next Steven Spielberg. He's got more creativity in his thumb than I have combined.
