Twitter = Mention on MSN Money

I've been a huge Twitter skeptic for the past year or so. I didn't really see much value in little snippets of conversation, typed in 140 characters. Who has time to follow that type of chatter?

Then I sat in on the Twitter party hosted by the Savvy Blogging ladies. It was interesting to interact with some of the bloggers whose sites I frequent, and I picked up some blogging advice along the way.

I have continued to check back in on the conversation, and I've connected with a couple of bloggers who were looking for guest posts. Amy from The Finer Things in Life was one of those bloggers. She was looking for a guest post so she would have some down time after the Blissdom conference. I offered... She accepted.

To my surprise, that posted landed on MSN Money's Smart Spending blog this past Saturday. You can read it HERE. I was more than a little surprised!

While checking Twitter, I've also connected with Shelly from Coupon Teacher. She was looking for someone to swap store deals with. Now I send her my Rite Aid deals, and she shares her Walgreens deals with us. It's a win-win!

Right now, I'm mostly just a Twitter lurker. I check in every so often to see if there's anything interesting being said. I'm not a big tweeter. But I'm starting to see the value in the connections that are made in 140 characters or less.

I just started sending notifications of my blog posts out to my Twitter account. If you're a Twitter user, you can follow me @savingandgiving.
