Writers, Twitter and Twellow.
Who among you are using Twitter?
Do you know where to go to find out?
Here’s the place - Twellow.com
Yes it’s a take off on the Yellow Pages - only with a focus on Twitter members.
When I did my last Twellow search for “writer” there were 13,849 people found on Twitter with some connection to or participation in writing activity.
(Searches are done within the bio, name, and location
sections Twitter users provide on their profiles.)
Here is what the Twellow login box looks like - you must be a member of Twitter
to search because your User Name and Password are required to use the system.
They provide a link to sign up if you are not a Twitter member. They also explain
what protections they provide for keeping private that information
Yes, that is a bit scary and enough so to scare many of you away. (Shades of
Brave New World, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451) Just gulp and do it or you become
too “out of it” for much of your audience. (I have to gulp! - sometimes two or
three times a day as I constantly modify my privacy protectionist nature.) Why?
Why do it? Curiousity and Legacy. Expand my audience - carefully.
Choices - so many choices!!! - - - Twellow?
Check it out - it doesn’t hurt for a writer, any writer, to be somewhat familiar with
the emerging developments in the digital universe, in this case the Twitterverse.
However, I will admit it does take a bit of courage to trust these systems and
those who operate or use them. You decide for yourself.
I hope your exploration will be worth your time. That is one of the challenges of
participating in the digital world and its access to new people and new information
- how do you manage your time exploring it?
You will note that there are very few, if any, “best seller names” in your “writer”
search results. Perhaps it is because they are too busy writing!
Twellow.com - Enrich your mind - explore your writer world - but don’t waste time.
Above all write!

Expand your universe. |
Meet new friends on Twitter. Friends from around the country and around the world - people you’d never meet otherwise - expand your universe - get new ideas - new contacts - expand your “writerverse”. Scary perhaps but great fun! My last caveat: Keep the discipline to manage your time to write. Let Twitter add to your writing - not be a distraction! |

Thanks for the writeup about Twellow. As the lead developer for the site I’d like to make a correction. One is not required to login in order to use the site. The login is only for those who wish to modify their listing, or to make following others more streamlined. If a user chooses not to login then browsing categories and using the search functions are still fully available.
Thanks!
