I added CommenTwitter to my blog so that comments were Tweeted in real time, and answer my visitors by using their user name (when I can, which is a good reason to use @username with your real name).

This way, everyone gets to see who their friends are meeting, why they are being recommended and the whole community benefits!

Have a great weekend!

I’ve been receiving those “get hundreds of followers a day” invites regularly too and there is only a tweet or two on the page but in my case, two of them had thousands of followers! I figure many people must be using an auto-follow service. The numbers are impressive but, like you, I want to interact with real people. If someone is using an auto-follow service, I’m not sure how active and involved they are on the account. I like to look at my followers, read their bios, check their web sites and I particularly look at their twitter stream to see whether – and HOW – they interact. I remember looking at yours because, at first, I thought you were a spammer because of the “gold” in your twitter name. I perused your stream and realized that you were the real kind of “gold.” Interactive, caring, engaged. Exactly what I look for in a follow!

I appreciate the mention and particularly like the idea of extending the follow friday in a blog post that explains WHY you follow certain people. I think it’s a brilliant idea. And, as you have probably guessed from this comment, I have great difficulty communicating in less than 140 characters.

TweetBoard is a great tool because it allows visitors to Tweet from your site.

CommenTwitter is a great way of linking the conversation on your blog, to that on Twitter!

Cheers, and thanks for the visit!
