A Clue for Starting out on Twitter.

For over a year I had no followers on twitter. I now after 3 days have 188. At first I was just following one person MC Hammer. 3 days ago I added someone who had alot of followers. It was a person called shoemoney who had 100k followers. What happened after I had followed him was that 3 people started following me.



So I clicked on. I started following more people. I am now following 900 people and yep 188 people have started following me. So that's great. People haven't followed me from darcylee.com yet as it's not getting enough exposure or traffic. I'm pretty sure that noone from twitter visited my website though, but also can't be 100 percent about that, so at the moment it's not generating any traffic even after posting a link to all my followers.



Twitter has been quite surprising. I never thought I could get so many users. I had just thought that people had just gotten followers via there websites, word of mouth or however. I had no idea all you needed to do was follow people and you would get followers. It's good. So my plan is to follow more people and hopefully the tide of followers will keep coming.



I have also set up a new facebook account and have a like button on this page. It will be a long time before someone likes me. Could be years.



Another cool addition to the site comes from LinkWithin.com. What this does is crawl every page on this website and then display 3 pages from previous posts, picture and text, at the bottom of every post. It matchs similar topics and pulls out old posts that would otherwise never see the light of day. With this people will browse posts that they might be interested in, it gives them a clue what the post is about and all you have to do is click and it takes you straight there. It installs very easy if you have a blogger site. You basically just need to log in and then postion it to the correct place, (which for me was under every post), in the page layout section. Very easy took a minute.



So thats me for now. 3 new features to this page that hopefully over time will help. I'm becoming quite a fan of social networking.
