Do you Twitter? I’m new to the whole concept and still can’t seem to get the hang of it. I understand it can be a great promotional tool as well as an easy way to stay in contact with your friends.

Here is the problem: I know very few people on Twitter. I guess it would be much more excited to have several followers, all craving to see what you write next. In a way, it’s a very personal micro blogging system. I’m not sure if I’m going to stick with it so here are 5 reasons (maybe to convince myself) to keep the tweets going:

1. Blog Promotion: Twitter is an easy way to promote your blog (or website) as you meet new peeps. Maybe even gain some fans along the way.

2. Buzz- Great way to generate buzz for a new post, contest, event, or story. Hopefully, some of those followers would be tempted to look.

3. Keep up with friends and family- Keep everyone updated on your status or track someone else’s status. Good way for family or friends to be in the know.

4. Breaking the ice- Meeting someone new..send them a tweet to break the ice.

5. Source of info- Stay updated on news, unique stories, and popular reads.

Are there any other Twitter reasons?
