I sit at a desk all day at work.  While I am actually working I do like to be distracted by Twitter.  I have the extention for Twitter in Firefox called Twitterfox.  I like it alot.  I did turn off the pop-ups because really that is VERY distracting.

I’ve read some tweets about promoting yourself and/or company on twitter.  This is all fine and dandy but here is the problem I’m seeing.  I follow a couple different Red Wing tweeters and I have to tell you when they tweet 4 times in a row I get annoyed.  Especially where they are links in every single post.

I know what you are thinking, then just unfollow.  I guess I could.

Here’s another question for you…How do you feel about people giving up their blogs just to tweet?  I’m not for that at all.  Tweets are what 140 characters?

I found this article on Mashable about Twitter and still stay productive.  It uses tweetdeck.  I’m usually late in the game so I’ll probably continue using Twitterfox until I hear amazing things about tweetdeck.

To sum up the article here are the 10 things you can do:

1. Manage to-do lists in Remember the Milk
2. Set a timer
3. Add a Google Calendar item
4. Get flight info
5. Track your expenses
6. Get news alerts
7. Track packages
8. Freelancers track job time
9. Keep track of gas mileage
10. Get the weather forecast
