Testing the Twitter waters

Yes, I’ve put Piddleville on Twitter (@piddleville).  When I say in the headline “testing the waters” I’m referring to this site being on Twitter. I’ve actually been on it for quite a while with @writelife.

I have two immediate worries with this site being on there. First, will I be able to maintain it so that it is worth anyone’s while to follow @piddleville? Secondly, will I find people/sites worth following using Piddleville?

That’s the thing with Twitter. You can follow everyone in the world that’s on Twitter, if you want to. It’s quite another thing to find the people to follow that make it a worthwhile effort. If my experience with my other account is any indication, it takes some time and some engagement to develop an account that is worth anything – both to you and to the people who’ve chosen to give you their attention.

I think I should have my answers in a week or so. As things have been going recently, I’ve been sluggish in maintaining Piddleville, the site. So how will it go now that I’ve added one more thing to maintain?

We’ll see!
