I try to use it to promote stories (the only reason I signed up for it). Like you, I do my social interaction on Facebook and here on my blog, though of course, as you can see, I do like to write posts!

I have an account over there, but hardly ever use it. I try to interact with people - no results. Everyone is interested ONLY in promoting their own little blog, website, products, services etc and forget about the most important thing - personality.<br /><br />I am really not so good about writing articles, thus I am not really blogging all that much. I relate to Facebooka lot better because I can ask a question, get an answer, interact with people etc ah, twitter…..useless, totally. I have an account over there, but hardly ever use it.

Above is a post I made a while ago about health care reform. I used the tag #healthcarereform so people could find it easily. If you click on #healthcarereform, you will be taken to a page that shows live updates of everyone else using the #healthcarereform tag.

A hash-tag is a word (or phrase with no spaces) that begins with a #.

So, say, I could tweet

Lit candle for #Hestia this morning & prayed to Hermes for success at work. #polytheism

and it would index. Not that hard. If I were to post that to Twitter, #Hestia and #polytheism would be turned into links.

You know I'm on board for any project concerning polytheism. So if you can fill me in on how it works, let me know and you can count me in.<br /><br />I'll have to have a look at your webnovel. I have a project I've begun working on myself (at http://helhest.blogspot.com). I have been working on it for several months now without actually posting any of it. It will take the form of entries in a captain's log in a universe set in the future (in a xenophobic post-invasion human star empire). I just completed an image for the captain and am working on a couple of symbols (one for the imperial house and one for the ship itself).

I think we should organize a #polytheism hash-tag party because that would make the Muslims complaining about shirk a bit less visible. I <em>mostly</em> use @quantumelody for personal/professional things. I post sometimes (not all the time) when I update KALLISTI. I always post when I have a new webnovel update.<br /><br />My third account is still in beta, so I'm not adding it or publicizing it. It's a fictional character from my webnovel (Nàsis, the woman organizing the five folio letters written by the main character). I plan on using it as a nice publicity front.<br /><br />Twitter chats happen when a group of people develop a special hash tag (#writechat, for example) to talk about something important. There are third-party apps that you can get to do this. Twitter is kind of new, so most of the people in the chats stay on-topic. They just don't use the hashtag for off-topic things, anyhow.

I've always been curious about different ways people might use it. I never thought about it as an open chat room, but I can see where it could serve as such. I think I OD'd on chat rooms back in my AOL days so I avoid that scene these days (I wasted too much of my life doing that - was a real addict). Do you find much use or application for it in a religious sense? As I noted in my post, am curious about that too and I'll ask you since you're the first one to comment who is a heavy duty Twitter user Kayleigh! ::mock shock:: I'm glad to hear people can get good use out of it.
