I do tweet, iTweet on Twitter. I know a lot of folks don’t get Twitter. You always get those that think why would I want to let the world know I fed the cat or masturbated nine times today (man I went blind that day LOL), oops.
My point is that if you want to Tweet “I just had a dump” you can, that’s the beauty of Twitter. But you can also use it for many many more things than that. I have just picked out two examples below and how they could utilise Twitter
DJ’s you could tweet a list of your playlist for your upcoming show. You could TwitPic behind the scenes pictures of you doing the show. Tweet links to competitions or accept competition answers from Twitter followers. If you have a mix site you can tweet links to your mix site. You know the possibilities are endless.
Journalists you can tweet links that direct followers straight to your story, yes your story. No wading through a papers website to get to your bit. Just tweet the link direct to your story. Also you can tweet a breaking story from your cell phone direct to your followers and newsroom. As Twitter is worldwide you could get spotted and be asked to write for a huge news organisation, or even be given your own webpage to write there and get paid megabucks. Hey you never know
The only thing that holds back how you use Twitter is your imagination. I would suggest those that have not used it, get off your arse give it a go. Get some followers, say hello to them, tweet some links to your stuff. You will be surprised how quick you get involved, more importantly how involved they get in you.

The best way to "get" Twitter is to just jump in and do it. Those of us who use it can explain and make screencasts, and How-to video until our fingers are sore, but you won't really grasp it until you try it. And by try it I mean actually spend some time using it. None of this creating an account, tweeting a couple of times and declaring it 'stupid.'
If you do a google search on twitter, there are plenty of articles in magazines such as Business Week that talk about Fortune 500 companies using Twitter. It's been touted in many places as a good marketing tool.
