I like the basic article as a beginner's guide but I hate the term "poach" your friends followers. Twitter is a microblogging platform. Just like in blogging, new Twitterers should "mine" the "blogroll" aka followers for new people or companies to follow. It means the same thing but it sounds a whole lot better in my opinion than telling people to poach anything.

Yes it has effected my posting frequency-especially the upswing in friendfeed activity. But the clincher for me has been facebook. Our company is utilizing facebook along with Twitter, Linkedin, and blogging. We love it but it has become a juggling act to feed all of the hungry "mouths."

Not less frequent, but there is some duplication now and not sure how the followers feel about it.

Yes, but contrary to the Twitter explosion, I have made more 'solid' business connections (and a few friends :) right here on Friendfeed.

Yes, It has delayed, or slowed my pace of blogging, but I think the increased traffic will result from all the Social Networking, and thereby justify the time spent Not Blogging.

Yes. But I have interacted much more with medical bloggers via twitter & ff than via my blog. So, I'd take that as a positive shift :)

Yes. But my blogging frequency has never been high. The change now is, I have consciously moved my insubstantial stuff (one liners, links) to Twitter and FF. So the blog is of more useful and substantial content.

I like this tool as I feel I am almost red-lining my social media comfort zone with the amount of fantastic content available. It's like the old slogan "So many books so little time" Today it's "So many links so little time"
