It's also nice to hear again that it's ok to be selective about followers. It's important to remind ourselves every once in a while that people have different reasons for using Twitter and it's not personal if a follow isn't returned.

They are a lot of fun and you can make great connections. Here is the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=41198537056" rel="nofollow">Facebook Group</a> for the Detroit tweetups. There is normally a big monthly tweetup, and other small ones. Lynn, if you’re looking to make more real life contacts, I would highly recommend going to a Tweetup.

I am usually the first person to jump aboard whatever new communication protocol is getting trendy on the 'net, but I have to admit, it took me awhile to warm up to twitter. But it's been so helpful professionally. I don't have a lot of real life friends using twitter yet, but more and more contacts in my industry are plugging into it, and it's great. I originally wanted to reign in my contacts so to keep things manageable, but I think the real power in twitter is in making connections, so now I'm trying to actively add a few people a week and grow my network. I've gotten leads from it, gotten to know people who could be potential referral sources, and found and shared tips with people. Andy loves Tweetie, but I'm using Twittelator for right now. I really wish Twitterific would innovate their iphone app. They were the immediate forerunner with the great GUI, but the new apps are adding a lot more features and lately I find twitterific lacking. On my computer, I occasionally use Tweetdeck as well, but I'm still pretty happy with Tweet-r. (And I can't get on board with Twirl at all, hate the interface.)
