I've had a Twitter account for some time now but when I originally signed up I couldn't figure out what good it was.
Then I had an idea. And it seems to be working. The idea is this. I have three of my own blogs plus another for a computer club. The easiest way to broadcast that I have a new post in any of these blogs is by Twitter. Twitter will also post to Facebook for me. Success.
I also find it the easiest way to be alerted when any of the blogs I follow adds a new post. They have to use twitter for this, of course, and some don't. Their loss.
And then there are those that use Twitter to advertise their products. Especially photographers that sell training. An example is Kirkus MacGowan, @KirkusMacGowan. He's not a photographer but his method is the same. He's a stay-at-home dad & Amazon bestselling author following his (pipe) dreams. Kirkis is following 23,656 twits and has 25,372 Twits following him.
I ask you how can anyone follow 23,656 Twits? Answer: They can't. He's selling a product - his books. In his case the book is
The Fall of Billy Hitchings.
I've had several similar to Kirkus follow me and then a few days later they drop me from their Following list. Why? Because I didn't follow them. Actually I did until I caught on to what they were doing. That's when I said bye, bye to them.
So lets wait and see. Will he keep me or dump me? I'll let you know.
Now I need to publish this post and issue a twit.

The Scream by Edvard Munch was done in the Expressionist style but now I can take it one more step to Abstract Expressionist complements of nature combined with the pollution in Laguna Creek.
