I’ ve been trying to convince my ex boss to use Twitter as a tool for marketing his online products and projecting his site as a voice or an expert in the domain, he is’nt convinced that spending time on Twitter will be beneficial. He thinks Twitter a waste of time.

When he asked me how much time I spent on Twitter and was it worth the time spent, I actually did not have an answer. I begun my search to find out how much time I had spent on Twitter since I started to tweet.

I came across Tweetwasters.com, this is a fun site that tells you the actual time you spent on twittering as well as tells your rank compared to other twitterers. Its also has a plugin that can display your tweetwasters stats on your blog, if you want to display how much time you spend on twitters to your readers.

As per the calculation I’ ve had 325 total tweets and assuming they spent an average of 30 seconds per tweet they’ve spent 9,750 Seconds or 163 Minutes or 2.71 Hours or 0.11 Days using Twitter!

My Tweetwasters rank: #18150

Check out how much time you’ve wasted on Twitter

While this is just a fun application, it has nothing to do with Twitter not being an effective tool to market your products. I highly recommend you to use Twitter and follow me . And no I am not sending this to my boss, unless he happens to see it on the blog.

Do you think Twitter is a waste of time, how much time have you wasted on Twitter ?

After about 3 months of launching this blog , I joined Twitter today and I am already addicted.

Below are 6 reasons I am glad I joined.

- Building a community :
To be successful on the ineternet or in any business you need to build a community or a network , The larger your Network the greater your Net Worth.
Twitter allows you to build you own community and network with co bloggers.

- Building awareness for my blog :
More awareness = more traffic = more money. You need to look at different avenues to get more traffic and usability for your blog.
Twitter helps you build the much needed awareness for your blog.

- Following my readers :
I recognise that many of my readers are on Twitter and it becomes important for me to follow them and be a part of the online community.
Twitter helps me follow my readers and keeps me updated about their interests and activities. To become a great leader, you need to be a good follower.

- Getting more reader interaction:
A blog with a lot of comments builds greater interactivity and involvement. I love responding to comments on my blog.
Twitter helps me comment on my readers activities, thus building a larger community.

- You get 140 characters or less to make an impact :
No one has time to go through long posts, the 140 characters forces me to be brief and creative in communicating with my readers.

- Twittering is Addictive :
You need to be a part of the community to experience the addictiveness of Twitter.

Follow me on Twitter , know what I am doing.
