However, I’m still not sure what the right mix of social and business posts is best for those following you. I pick up followers when I write about my struggles with cooking English food in American, but got followed by a big news service in my niche when I wrote a series about recent consulting gigs.

Have the FB/MYSpace folks completely migrated over yet?

I find that I’ve switched gears from additional blogging, in a social environment (multiply) to Twitter.

I didn’t “get” Twitter, either, for a long time. I’m becoming bigger in the local community of bloggers, though, and they are Tweeters, and its become a fun addiction!

I think my regular indie blog readers would appreciate if I’d blog less about Twitter, however. *sigh* I don’t see that happening for a while.

Great blog. I’ve really enjoyed my walk around. ~Heidi (a new follower)

I think I am more polarized in my use of both, though I began using Twitter only recently and, thus, have not fully found my Twitter voice as of yet. But, at this moment, blogging is akin to writing a poem or a short story or an opinion or something otherwise ’serious’. It is a pouring out of my heart that is different than the spontaneous self that emits to Twitter posts.

I cannot say which is more personal: the ADD moment or the deeply felt, overwrought blog post.

Hmmm…

I would say, overall, that Twitter has strengthened my writing, and if anything I have written more in my blog than I did before discovering Twitter. Similarly my blog has garnered more followers in Twitter, some of which have become friends.

In short, for me the relationship between blogging and Twitter is symbiotic.
