I've found that sometimes rather than Google something, I just search for it on search.twitter.com. I find that particularly useful if I'm blogging on a topic (mainly for my parenting blog) and want to see what other mommy bloggers are saying. If I Google the topic ... I end up with the VIP blogs and the slick Mommy sites because they index higher. But on Twitter I find the quintessential mommy blogger, typing away while her kids nap. (No offense, mommy bloggers.)

I think "driving traffic" may not be the best metaphor to use. It's more like being a fish swimming in a conversation ocean. Every once in a while, you get a glimpse of another fish you might want to get to know. And all the fish are doing the same thing. The blog or a local coffee shop is where the meet up happens. The cool thing about twitter is that it is in real time. Just like real life. The other cool thing is that people are forced to edit their comments to a limited number of characters.
