Are you using Twitter, I am

I now have an account on twitter under the name integrity_ethic. Is anyone else on this site using twitter?

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm not totally sure.; ▶ Reply to This

I have been a registered user of twitter but just recently (last 1 1/2 months) I started using it much more. I have found that my web site has exploded with increased link popularity. Before using it the way I have now my link popularity was around 7,000. It is now over 30,000. The increase in popularity is validated by more than one site which measures link popularity. My search engine exposure has also dramatically increased. I know that just using twitter has not been the only reason but it is the only change in my activities that would account for this increase.; ▶ Reply to This

If ever so slightly, but the numbers are saying those visits are coming from twitter. I like it and do recommend you join. Look me up if you like and I will twitter back.
