To tweet or not to tweet

That seems to be the question in the freelance community right now. To become a regular user of the ubiquitous Twitter, announcing my actions in short little quips to a legion of followers (yes, a legion), I think I should have something interesting to say.

If Twitter is to be used as a marketing tool, there should be obvious value for me and my audience. At the moment, all I'm hearing about Twitter seems to be just a bunch of noise.

I do update my status on Facebook regularly, but I try to say something either funny or interesting about what I'm doing. And at least I know my audience on FB--people I've personally approved to see my profile and read my updates. Twitter opens up that audience to just about anyone online.

I don't think I'm ready for the world to know everything I do, right when I do it. That just doesn't seem like a smart move. Yet.
