Why do you use Twitter?
Lately I’ve noticed some trends in social media, in particular with twitter. I am curious what other people think, so I put this questionnaire together. If you use twitter, please take a chance to fill it out. I will be posting the results to this survey for everyone to see next week.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am not affiliated with twitter or any twitter related services. I am just curious and I’m sure other people are as well.
Thanks everyone, results to this survey will be posted next week on Wednesday. I will leave the survey open to responses until Tuesday evening!

You’ll definitely have to tell me how this works. I’ve found use for all of the thing in your survey, and I find more and more uses for Twitter every day.
The question that I’m pondering these days is what the opportunity cost of Twitter is – how much time we spend on it vs. how much MEASURABLE benefit we get!
I use twitter as a networking tool–I like to meet people who are on twitter who are like me–innovative passionate people. Tons of people who are on twitter write blogs so they appreciate comments and will often come back to check you out. You can definitely develop relationships Gary Vaynerchuk style.
I would say I use it mostly as a networking tool and way to keep in touch with what’s going on out there.
Tiffany,
Good mention about the opportunity cost of twitter. I currently find twitter to be a valuable tool in helping my network grow.
Here is some more meat on the twitter survey bone, I use twitter to:
Learn more about topics and people of similar interest
Get exposed to topics and people I might not otherwise come in contact with
Ask questions seeking answers to a specific task, work or personal
Trial balloon launching to test ideas
Challenge concepts both mine and others
Create relationships personal and professional
Extend geographical relationships to facilitate in person meetings when travelling
A 21st century police scanner
Bottom Line – twitter is an cultural and intellectual stretch for the mind
