Two things that have helped me with managing time and how I focus my attention on Twitter are Tweetdeck and Search. On Tweetdeck I have several groups set up that I can scan. I also use Search and the Tweetlater search to find people who are discussing things of interest.

Mari Smith and Denise Wakeman/Patsi Krakoff are people that I know and trust – they have been enormously helpful –

Have fun in the Twitterverse – without it we wouldn’t have had a chance to sauy Hello

It took me a while to understand it – in some ways it’s kind of like stepping off the roadside into traffic with your eyes shut. Darren Rowse’s newst blog, Twitips, is enormously helpful getting to grips with the Twitter environment.

To me Twitter is a kind of supercharged way of crossing boundaries. On my blog, I write about spirituality and interfaith stuff, and therefore people who comment tend to be interested in the same topics. Same with the blogs I love to read and comment on in turn.

But of course I’m interested in absolutely loads of things, and following down various Twitter links is a really fast way of finding a wider community.

In fact I’m consciously holding back a little bit following more people because I could easily see Twitter swallowing my whole life!!
