Not everyone on Twitter wants to be visible. But for the most part, it’s about getting oneself known.

I’ve just subscribed to your feed. Got here from Jennifer’s blog. Yet another reason to thank her.

Of COURSE CatalystBlogger is better! Jennifer rocks. Twitter is stupid. Really stupid. So stupid I don’t even know how to use it. Or why. No. I don’t want to. You can’t make me. So there! And if you try, I’m telling my mom.

[…] everywhere these days? I wasn’t familiar with this social networking tool at all until I read this marvelous post on Inklit comparing Twitter to, well…me. Of course I was thrilled to come out looking good in […]

Carl,

One thing you might try to split the difference is setting up one or more TwitterFeeds (See http://twitterfeed.com), so what you’re creating as blogs can automatically send updates to Twitter via RSS. The trickle of traffic is trivial (hey, a little aliteration!), but what the heck, you can’t beat the price.

Thanks for the visit!

I’ve been trying to like Twitter, since I have so many friends who love it, but my mind instinctively rebels against sitting there all day providing updates. My goal is to create something that works for me when I’m not sitting there, not to tie myself to constant updates. I think you’ve hit upon the source of my discontent with Twitter.

Wow, what a nice batch-o-comments.

@Chris thanks so much for even more link love! Much appreciated. Oh my gosh, though I hope no one at Twitter finds this. They might cut me down to 120 characters!

@Michelle Thank you. I appreciate you stopping by very much and I think there’s probably a resource article I owe you because you’re doing some cool stuff.

@Jennifer, you know me — always a bridesmaid, never a business model. But I’m working on it!

Wow–I am awed and amazed to be so favorably compared! I also completely agree with your premise: just because you want to be visible doesn’t mean you should be. Not all of those “visible” people have anything particularly interesting to say. It follows that the more valuable your content is, the more your readers will be interested in what you’re selling (if you’re in it for the money, which not everybody is).

Don’t know if you were aware, but in addition to blogging about you blogging about EzineArticles vs. AC, I also Twittered about it:
