Does Twitter Reduce Your Blogging Efficiency?

I do not feel twitter is taking away from my blog, i am a fanatic of keeping a list of things to do and separate each thing i do by making priorities, first blog #1 on my list then all other networking comes after..twitter, emails, posting comments and such, plus i have a job in the outside world...very organized little woman.thanks for post awesome.

I am very good at organizing my time, each day i write list of things i must do in sets of time, meaning i spend so much on blog (priority #1) and then twitter (checking posts, comments etc..) and then emails, and so on you get the picture. So no i do not think you are wrong or otherwise but twitter does not take away from my writing that is for sure....and I have a job in the outside world ahahhaha thanks.

I think I have something like 10,000+ tweets, I try to keep[ my tweeting time pretty efficient but there's no doubt it cuts into blogging time. I do consider it an essential part of being a blogger and having an active community, so it's worth it.

I tried my luck to engage in Twitter but I found it ineffective. I guess I still don't know how to use it. Focusing on my blog however has been very beneficial. :-)

I see Twitter as a way to market content elsewhere. I think straining to interact through Twitter is a waste of time for me.

When I finish a good post (I think anyway) I send it out to Twitter and 17 other microblog networks. I do this through Ping.fm I know you probably have a milion ways to do this but ping.fm works for me so I stick with it.

For me Twitter is probably the most powerful for referral traffic. Stumbleupon is by far my largest referral source but it is not a microblog like Twitter.

Hey dragonblogger! If it wasn't for Twitter I never would have stumbled upon your 1 word Twitter poems!

I'm a newbie blogger and haing launched my blog about 3-4weeks ago after months of exhaustive research, I am now in stage 2 of my blog discovery - How to find the time to stay active in all the varoius social media platforms.

I have a relatively small Twitter following, and a new blog with a relatively small number of posts. I also have an account on Sprouter, Linkedin and Facebook.

Even with a relatively small following on all platforms, I'm already finding it difficult (and stressful) trying to keep up with all of the great folks who have decided to vist my blog, or tweet my post or blogengage it, or tweet it, etc. etc. Whew! I mean really - please someone tell me HOW DO YOU KEEP UP WITH IT ALL and still find time, not only to POST new content but also to try and actually make a living out of this!

I mean, I love blogging but I"m not sure how folks like you with a number of blogs and a number of very active social networks can keep up with all the interaction that is necessary to build a community.

Any ideas? I see my buddy Infopreneur has added a comment here - James? You're about a year ahead of me but basically you started out from scratch just like me...How do YOU keep up? I do't want to have to quit bloggin because I"m not successful at it - just as I do't want to quit blogging because I'm becoming good at it!!

HELP!?!?

It can impact on your time a lot, but the higher you climb the more effort it takes to stay there.

I am working harder than ever at the moment, but it's a 100% worth it.

Ultimately I get my posts done for the site then socialize with my readers, it's getting tough but if it was easy everyone would do it.

I have to say you are the most interactive blogger I have seen on Twitter though so kudos brother!

Well worth a re-tweet great post

It does. It is so easy for twittering to become an obsession. All the time wasted can be easily used for creating better content..

No issue from me. Why? I don't tweet. :P But will start to be active on it.

Yes, it did. I'm active mostly in Plurk, second in Facebook, and third in Twitter. To me these sites allow me to keep in touch with other bloggers when I am not able to write a blog post. However, this is turning out not to be the case.

I tend to read more and write less. I learn but I have to strongly agree this had reduced my blogging efficiency.

With that, I'm trying to make a change. I won't wait until the next day of New Year to change.
