Ya, Twitter is really awesome when it comes to building relationships with all the important people who are pretty hard to get to using regular methods. (Heck! I bet that a carefully-constructed Tweet good guarantee a response from Shaq.)

Twitter is a great tool to network with people. I still need to network more. It is getting to the point of who can get the most users following you which is ok but to a point. You can get your blog posts to huge range of people which is always good. That is what I like about it. Greg Ellison

Excellent post. Last year when I first started using Twitter I didn't get it but stuck with it. It is by far the best tool I use to network. I've met so many people in the industry by using it as more of a networking tool as opposed to strictly a marketing tool. I think it is best to not worry about how many followers you have, but focus more on building quality relationships with new people.

I have found twitter a great way to connect with people that usually wouldn't have time to talk with me. As a networking tool Twitter has a lot of potential.

Twitter is definitely and unbelievable tool for networking and building relationships, especially if you use it the right way. Which brings me back to the point you made above when you said "The way you network is by first building a relationship. Give a little, don't expect to get a lot up front. " So true!

I find that way too many people on Twitter are just trying to follow as many people as they can and are only on there to hard sell everyone without any desire to build relationships.

What they will soon find out though is that the more they jam their products down peoples throats without building a relationship with their followers first, the more people that are going to Unfollow them, Block them, and definitely NOT buy whatever it is their selling.

So the moral of the story is: Be human, Be real, and then (and only then!) will you really start seeing the true power of Twitter!
