Combining Twitter with Blogging

Twitter is a wonderful social network that allows you to send micro blogs (140 characters or less) whenever you want and communicate with others some who may blog in real life time. Twitter is an ideal way to promote your blog each time a new post is made manually or through a scheduled feed that will send a tweet when the post appears. In addition to that you can send twitpic pictures of something you blogged about or just something you found interesting as a way of encouraging interest in your blog. However, unless you are active in Twitter such as interacting with your followers and retweeting (RT) simply sending blog promotion tweets will not be as effective. 

With Twitter the big thing is not just collecting followers.  What you want are the followers who actually follow you because they are interested in what you have to say.  They are the ones you are most likely to interact with and the ones who will be most interested in reading your blogs.  So get rid of the Twitter spammers and dead weight then focus on the followers who are following you for what you are saying.
