I think Twitter was the tool of choice because:
-the noise was far less than Facebook
-the conversations were interesting
-you can connect with anyone and there's no barriers to entry

I will go into other tools more later, but I think never to the same extent. I've already had to schedule myself to ensure I don't spend all my time on Twitter and actually produce content sometimes!

Thanks for the input Catherine! What about Twitter resonated with you, if I may ask? Also, do you see yourself growing into other tools in the future?

I agree. I've gone headlong into Twitter, but I'm deliberately ignoring Facebook, LinkedIn etc. I know I can only do one thing well, so I chose the one that resonated with me, and put all my efforts there.

I definitely don't think you're alone in that approach, Jenny; I was pretty much the same way when I started out signing people up – I just started to try everything, and over time it naturally whittled down to what I like – I'm glad I have “hallublin” claimed in all those other places, but I'm happy with what I'm using & feel like I learn something from and about each tool every day.

I agree – however, I'm not sure that my progression into social media followed that path. I just jumped in head first with the “latest and greatest”, as I heard about each new thing…but I didn't master all of them. I've only stuck with the ones that have been tested over time:-)
