Something that just occurred to me is that the challenge of composing a thought in 140 characters or less might be good practice for on-air types. Thanks to PPM data showing that listeners are tuning out of long breaks, the drive to be succinct is more pervasive than ever. It's amazing how much I can edit out of a Tweet, and still get the same point across.
Yay: I picked up two followers today!
Boo: They were both the same spammer.
I like the Twitter block button...
I decided to dive right in and open a Twitter account under my air name. I figured it might be a good way to connect with some listeners considering the almost total lack of interaction on my station's website.
So far? Meh.
I have one follower, and it's a former co-worker. I'm thinking about putting my Twitter address in my station's email signature, since I do exchange email with listeners from time to time. I suppose I could also ask our webmaster to put a link on my profile page.
This is all in the experimental stage, but so far, it's been interesting.
