I agree. News tweets are great, especially if they follow the subject of your Tweeter account.

I am definitely a Tweeter blend. My stores represent a number of niche markets (gothic, Egyptian, Wiccan/Spiritual, as well as more general clothing, shoes, etc) so I have multiple business account to try to keep them focused and on topic. I try not to bore followers on my scificollector twitter account with talk about Ancient Egypt for instance. But then I do tweet about problems/events of the day as well now and then (though still try to keep it mostly on topic). It makes my day diverse and actually keeps me up on the latest in each area too - never a bad thing :)

Great post, I especially like #1 and #2 the most. It's all about just being you, keeping it real and connecting with others, no real strategy, just logic.

For literature, I'm honestly surprised one of your three links went to a defunct account that hasn't posted a story in a year, when there are active writers (like @novelsin3lines @midnightstories @disneydiaries) and publications (like @nanoism @thaumatrope @outshine and @picfic). For a short form, there is some really interesting stuff out there when people can find it.

Sometimes I wonder if the only people talking about social media / Web 2.0 are the ones talking about it on twitter, facebook, etc. . .

Social media and whatever the next generation is going to be, just like all the old ways of communicating, require an approach tailored to a target audience to be successful. The user has to identify his or her objective for using the techology or application and then make an effort to understand the target.

I absolutely agree that there's a place for all of these and more (even including the crazed fans). That's the beauty of twitter - following who you want and making your twitter stream what you want it to be.

I started out as the 'silent/corporate' tweeter when I claimed @ZionBuffalo for my workplace. . . then I became a 'corporate' tweeter when I started to actually use it . . . then a 'corporate/personal' tweeter when I started to make connections and enjoy it . . . then I started @mnplatypus when I found myself wanting to make connections that had nothing to do with work.

While it could be considered a 'corporate use', I think 'News Feed' is a valid eighth category, whether it's @cnnbrk or just a personal blog RSS feed being Tweeted.

Absolutely neat ways to approach Twitter. And you can have multiple account to combine and use different approaches to get most of Twitter. Just be careful of its addictive nature!

Does it feel to anyone else like the beginning of the end of Twitter is starting before the end of the beginning is done?

As the current hottest social app, it's reached the 'it can be about business' phase really fast and heavy, yes?

And who can keep up with more than 20 people? Am I just slow?

For those of use who seek a category for everything, now our Tweets fit into tidy little boxes. Now, for those seeking to understand themselves by their reaction to the boxes:

1 - Don't box me in, there's *no one* like me
2 - Yep that's me, a couple of #3s and a #2
3 - I don't care
4 - ?
