Twittering Pagans aren't people who live by Pagan Standard Time, aka PST.  They are Pagans who are using Twitter, the social networking tool that is proving to be more than just a fad.  Pagans are just some of the thousands of people using Twitter to connect.

Tweets and Followers

The tool is like texting except you don’t have to answer messages in real time.  Each tweet (or message) can be no longer than 140 characters.  This definitely forces all twitterers to get to the point, but there isn't a limit to the number of tweets that can be made.

You can search for others who share your interests and friend them like you do on other social media applications like Facebook and MySpace, but Twitter friends are called followers.  You and your followers can all read each others’ tweets and can respond if you wish.  There is also the option of making your tweets private if you want to share them with only a select group of friends.

Twitter as a Promotional Tool

This has become the new way to promote your business.  It's a good resource for entrepreneurs including Pagans.  Blogs, Etsy accounts, eBay stores and personal websites are just a few of the things you can plug.

You can become quickly inundated by messages depending on how many people you follow and how often they update their tweets.  TweetDeck is a handy application that can be downloaded to help put your tweets into more easily readable groups.

Spammers have caught on to Twitter's promotional possibilities but can easily be avoided or taken off your list of followers.  Twitter can be an addictive but fun way to keep up with friends and family and make new contacts for business.
