So, how do you adapt to a Tweating world? As a blogger, this question would have far more relevance to you. As a serious writer of the web log, you would want to have as many people subscribing to your thoughts as possible and would want your message to go to people who are looking for information similar to what you could provide. And Twitter is a phenomenon that you can not ignore in your quest for increased coverage and traffic.

It was a time when RSS and Atom were new on the web and people fondly embraced the technology to read their favourite stuff on the net, as and when it was published and updated. With Twitter, the virtual world changed, sort of. Twitter is home to many who surf and they get their feeds and fodder via their Twitter accounts. It’s as simple as following someone with the click of a button and staying tuned. And it’s not just following your friends and colleagues – the movers and shakers are logging on to Twitter to announce to the world what they are up to and some of the prestigious brands and institutions are out there, keeping their followers updated of what’s on and where.

Hence, blogs need to adapt to a Tweating world. One way is to create your Twitter account and post your synopses manually on to it or to plug in the Tweetly Updater. This is a WordPress Plugin that automatically updates Twitter when your blog is edited or updated.

If that sounds cool, there is this Plugin, the Tweetmeme that reports how many times your posts have gotten retweeted on the Twitter. One other feature that you stand you stand to gain is its analytics that gives you the average number of times that your blog was tweeted before you plugged it Tweetmeme.

Businesses are taking Twitter seriously as they follow and are followed ardently by fellow Tweaters. It is high time bloggers took it seriously as well.
