		<description>I'm the founder of TwitterCounter.com and noticed your button in the sidebar here. You have a lot of followers, especially compared to your RSS count. How did that happen? Any tips for getting more followers?

		<description>Like you, I'm a huge fan of Twitter. Found my way to your blog that way. I also really admire the way you handled that first negative comment and responded to the commenter really well, resulting in a good back and forth dialogue. To me, that's what social media is all about.

		<description>I'm not quite sure how we connected but it might have started with Twitter and you commenting at my blog but I enjoyed this post.  

I was particularly impressed when you decided to keep the first comment, which was written somewhat negatively by someone in sleepy stupor.  Your response was even keeled - you did not seem offended.  The commentator wrote back, apologized and admitted he was off based.

Anyway, great post about how you use Twitter.  I just started it not long ago and am slowly maturing with it.  It's not as addictive as I thought it would be - I can go all day without it.  But whereas I had my doubts about its effectiveness on increasing traffic, I no longer do.  According to my stats, I am getting some nice traffic from twitterers mentioning my posts.  On occasion I'll mention them myself but am careful not to promote myself recklessly.  I try to sprinkle interesting articles, posts from elsewhere to give my tweets a balance.

Nice job!

P.S.  Do you have Blackberry?  If so, do you use a special Twitter program for it?  I don't know which application to use.

		<description>Hey Scott, 

nice  blog, I'll prolly follow.  Found it cuz you chose to follow me on Twitter, http://twitter.com/jokahn 

perhaps a silly question.  So if I want to display content from my blog to Twitter, is that possible?  I know there are many twitter apps out there.  It would be cool to automatically add my blog posts with comments to my twitter posts, even if only the links or shortened versions came through.  

i'm working on new blog, new title.  I've kind of let the old one die on the vine.  

Cheers, 

Josh
