Lately I am noticing a trend where it relates to the “Tweeted” Twitter content affects on a Blog. Recently I decided to Tweet various content types as they relate to Rageburner. Since the concept of Rageburner covers several topics I wanted to supplement Blog content with articles on Twitter via links or “tweets”. By supplement I mean distribute content on Twitter that could potentially have been promoted as an article on Rageburner.

It worked by increasing Twitter followers but not site traffic on Rageburner. Sure new followers visit Rageburner, but do they come back consistently to see what Today’s “Rant or Rage” might be? Rageburner’s presence on Twitter far exceeds its Blog readers which leads us to question the priority of each. Do you tweet to increase followers or promote a Blog on Twitter to increase subscribers?

At one point I heavily promoted Rageburner content on Twitter and received alot of negative email and DM responses. Rightfully so I felt it became a self promotion rather than social focus. Twitter is about sharing, assisting others and building relationships. Therefore I only publish a couple Rageburner articles daily and tweet content received daily by Rageburner subscribers.

The result showed that relationships and connections on Twitter far exceed your blog’s need for promotion. Staying current and focused on your Twitter content provides one of many legs for blog traffic but should not be considered its primary source. If an author or subscriber disagrees, please provide data or comment otherwise.

The following video research by Sociologist Liz Pullen strikes up great conversation and socialistic viewpoints on a wide variety of Twitter Users.  500 Twitter user rankings were used based on “following” counts in determing the top user involvement in the video.  Liz Pullen analyzed behaviors of new users and twitter usage from personnel to business practicalities.  It creates an inciteful world of understanding while exploring the vast realm of Twitter.

1) Do new users understand how powerfule Twitter really is?
2) Do users think of Twitter as a only a social space?
3) Should new users use the suggested user list?
4) Should Twitter be used as a social, information networking or micro-blogging medium?

Pullen’s topics covered include Professional, Race & Age categories in these top usage accounts.  Her accreditations alone provide a welcome explanation for non-technical users and the early adoption of Twitter.
