Brian Clark over at Copyblogger had a great post today called 7 Useful Links for Weekend Reading. The idea behind his post is that there’s a lot of link sharing that happens within Twitter instead of blogs.
I often post links to things on Twitter that I’ve found to be great reads. In case you don’t follow Free Pursuits on Twitter, here’s some of what you missed. These weren’t all new last week, but that’s when I found ‘em.
How do new blogs attract readers? Does Twitter live up to all the hype about being a great promotional tool?
There’s no question that Twitter has become a wildly popular service. It’s now a more popular search term on Google than Britney Spears. For all its popularity though, people still constantly ask me what Twitter is useful for, especially people who aren’t trying to promote or sell anything.
There are plenty of self-proclaimed experts who tell you (on Twitter by the way) that Twitter is the secret to becoming the next top 100 blog or big celebrity.
The truth after 30 days of blogging is that it’s not as useful for attracting an audience as you might hope, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be using it.
