my 2c is that Twitter is a useful way of having more of an online presence. One thing you need to look out for, though, is that people ask questions via it. After not monitoring PocketSword for a couple of days initially, I logged in and saw a few questions and comments - the @PocketSword account is now in my Twitter client, so it's easy for me now :) As for the Twitter updates from RSS . . . if you can massage them so that there is something meaningful & then a link, then I think they're worthwhile :)
