Do You Twitter?

 I clearly don't have time for Twitter, yet I am at it all hours of the day and night. I'm hopelessly addicted to following those who follow me, finding new people to follow and trying to hook readers into retweeting me into viral space. Then I woke up.

I use Twitter to lure people into reading my articles and blogs, some of which I get paid for (a pittance, for sure) and some are just for exposure.  Maybe an editor from some huge glossy will read my article on Fibromyalgia and will DM me with an assignment! Yeah, then I woke up.

If I spent the time I Twitter on querying editors, I'd probably be spending my time more wisely, but, well, I've done that and it hasn't been all that successful, since I only have one glossy under my belt.  One never knows, right?

I don't have a product to sell, unlike 90% of Tweeple, and quite frankly, after looking at a couple tweets from people promising to make me rich by getting me followers and I have more followers than they do, well, let's just say I lost interest.  Does anyone really click on those? The best way I have found to get followers is to find someone who has lots of followers and follow them. Quick and easy. After a week, I unfollow anyone who is not following me. Simple.

I really don't have much to say on Twitter. I see lots of little news clippits and quotes and some of them are interesting, but it doesn't explain the hypnotic effect that Twitter has on me (and apparently lots of other tweeple!)  Time passes very quickly when I am on Twitter and before I know it I've spent most of the day watching tweets go by. Today I decided that since I don't have much to say, I might as well say nothing on Hubpages!

Guess I'll tweet this and see what's going on. Then I'll go start dinner. Yeah, right. Then I woke up.
