Twitter is the micro-blogging leader of the world.  It is not surprising that there are so many other services that are copying and creating services like Twitter.

Some think that it is silly.  Some people just don’t understand it.  I personally think it is worth the time and energy I spend using it.  It’s great for helping people, getting feedback, and just plain making lots of friends.

Here are the 3 biggest reasons that I use Twitter:

• To find more people who have the same interests
If you need people to survive, Twitter is one of the easiest tools you can use to find people.  Whether you are looking for your next customer, or looking to see what the competition is up to, you can find people who are tweeting about any topic by using Twitter’s search engine.  Plus, Twitter allows you to build a massive amount of followers so that you can build relationships, business or friendly.  There is really no limit as how many followers you can have.

• To create a content distribution channel
Twitter is not the end of the road, and should not be used for that.   What I mean by that is that you should use Twitter to push people to the rest of your content, not just to capture information.  Looking at the overall picture, Twitter should be like a flood gate directing the flow of traffic.  Plus, if you want to strategically create better results, then create value for your followers by entertaining them and providing them with useful information.

• To establish your name or brand on one of the biggest social fronts in the world
When I see a guy like Perry Belcher (Social Media & Internet Marketer), who has over 100,000 followers, it makes me wonder how influential he is.  All I can say is “Very”.  People listen to him, and he tweets awesome stuff. Twitter has helped him to build his brand. It can help you too.   I once heard Perry say that the average Twitter user has the power to influence 500 people per day.

All in all, Twitter is one of the most powerful tools out there right now.  If used properly, it can assist anyone to build many thousands of new followers in a really short period of time.  More followers can definitely help you get farther and faster down your individual path.
