Recently, I joined Twitter as it is another way to connect with others who have common interests. Also, I have thought that if I want to do a PhD related to social media, then I need to become more proficient in various aspects of social media. Prior to joining Twitter, I had created a Facebook profile that I only use minimally, maintained LinkedIn account, and written two blogs (http://techforchronicdiseases.blogspot.com/ and http://innovativeglobalhealth.blogspot.com/). So, I am in the process of learning about other tools and aspects of social media.
I have been exploring the different aspects of Twitter. So, far I have learned how to develop my profile, create a list, follow people, and post tweets. I am trying to decide if I want to be able to access Twitter from my iPhone as I have a feeling that this might overtake my "free" time if I do not actively manage my Twitter time.
Prior to joining Twitter, I read the book, Twitter for Good, by Claire Diaz-Ortiz. This book provided insight into how to use Twitter for organizations/individuals that are socially oriented. Prior to jumping in and starting your Twitter profile, Diaz-Ortiz encourages you to create an objective for creating a profile and metrics by which you would consider the profile a success.
As I continue my adventure deeper into the social media and social networking world, I will share my challenges, successes, and insights along the way.
