    Hey Guys
    I wasn't sure which forum to put this in so I figured the bucket was the best spot.

    My most recent blog entry is about "Twitter Tank". Another hobbyist setup a pico reef tank. All of it's inhabitants will be voted on by its viewers. Viewers can vote via Twitter or visiting the site HERE

    You don't get Twitter or you don't get this concept?

    I haven't been Twittering long. Never really took the time to figure it out. I've been using it to promote my blog and I like it alot now that I've been using it.. It a great source for traffic.

    As far as Twitter Tank - It's basically a tank maintained by that guy and you can Tweet or vote your requests on his website and he'll stock the winning inhabitants into the tank.

    For the most part.... I mean some people aren't always active and don't see everything. It depends if their sitting at the computer/have a Twitter app opened on their phone.

    I can say that people on Twitter are SAVAGES. As soon as I post a link on Twitter and go back to check my stats- I have received 10-20 clicks pretty much instantly. They click the hell out of any link you post. There are also bots that will click your link and crawl your website so a small % of those clicks aren't actually people.

    Also another nice feature of Twitter is "trends". If I make a tweet and at the end of it say "#Aquarium" anyone looking at aquarium related tweets will see my tweet- even if their not following.
