Time for Twitter

by Tom on December 9, 2008

I’ve been on Twitter for a while now, but it has just basically been a place holder for all my Mastering the Flame blog posts.  I see so many people using it now, that I’ve been thinking about seriously starting to use it.

I’m pretty much a rookie on how to use it, so any pointers or tips on custimization or how to better utilize it would be great.

I figured it was a great way to meet other foodies and food & drink bloggers.  I basically started following other Foodies & Food Bloggers I happened to find on Twitter.  If you are on Twitter let me know, I’d probably like to follow you.  And if you’d like to follow me I’m TomFromMTF.

Also, for those of you on Twitter, who are your Top 10 Foodies or Food & Drink Bloggers to follow?  I’d love to know who your must follows are.

Be sure to follow me: TomFromMTF

Hey Tom - You can take a look at the list of who I’m following on my twitter page. They are mainly foodies of some sort, either professional or amateur. Also there are Twitter plugins/widgets you can ad to your blog that will update your blog and twitter at the same time (you type a blog post, it adds it to twitter or vice versa). Just search the wordpress plugins for “twitter” to find one you like. http://wordpress.org/extend/

Hope that helps!

Hi,
I’m new on Twitter too and haven’t figured out how to max the benefit of it.
But I’ll tell you the truth, so far I’ve seen mostly people blabbing about la and ti and da, and I just don’t have the time for this.
it’s hard to find the good stuff between all the clutter, u know what I mean?
Good luck to you!
Please do enlighten me if i’m missing on the big picture here, OK? Thanks!
