Wondering if I would get any benefit from signing up for twitter. Do any of you guys use it in a hobby context and are there lots of ladies on that would make it worth while ?  

There are several hobby benefits. Some ladies are now using social media instead of traditional advertising. Some show their face on Twitter, but not on their own website or ads. Ladies seem to post their tour schedules on Twitter before P411 or TER. Some have also decided to delist here because of the new review guidelines, so social media is the best way to see them. Also the ladies retweet each other's posts, so you can easily find new prospects. Finally, I rarely ever look at the photo board anymore since there's a nearly unlimited supply of provider pics on my Twitter feed from ladies I want to want to see, with none from those that I don't.

thanks for the info.  Is your twitter name any relation to your TER handle or something totally unrelated?

I don't want comments I post here connected to other social media posts.

Social media has a way of inveigling all aspects of your on-line life and this can cause walls to come tumbling down.

for many of the reasons mentioned above, tours, more pictures, clients can get a glimpse of my personality, interact with each other, we can see also things that clients like and enjoy.  
I do have instagram but don't use it as much... twitter is my to go always for any updates, tour, availability daily, where I am hosting at the moment, and much more!

How do you remain anonymous on twitter? Is it even possible to have anonymity on twitter?

I like to follow gal's that are on twitter because of the insight it can provide into their personality, how they feel about their clients, etc....it is very telling !

If you sign up for twitter or instagram, MAKE A PRIVATE ACCOUNT.

There is quite a bit of TER "Bashing" on Twitter.   Once you get on it-start following some gals-you'll quickly figure it out !

so, I signed up for an account with a false name and an email account that does not link back to anything on google.  I know what some of you are saying about the tentacles of the internet, so I tried to take as much precaution as possible.
I searched for the twitter accounts of some of my favorites and was almost instantly rewarded with more suggestions for other ladies.  I saw photos of ladies that surprised me. One is a lady I have known for a long time and I saw pics I had never seen before.  Great stuff
What I found that I didn't expect was the unvarnished opinions of some ladies. ie. political leanings , that I'm sure they would never share on TER for fear of alienating clients.  Quite revealing.  
Also, what I did not see was anything that would incline me to spend a lot of time on that site.
thanks for everyone's input

I agree completely !
I've realized some are BSC and others that are true sweethearts through their posts. A  very useful tool in deciding on a lady for sure !

My feeling is that the hobby should be an opinion-free zone, at least with regards to politics and religion (Why they have such a board here is beyond me.) and possibly other ethical and aesthetic topics.

to the twitter thing just joined earlier this month.

I've been on twitter for a few years now, but I use a separate account for the hobby.  I've also noticed an increase in the number of providers who are on twitter, as well as some agencies, and I see verification services like RS-AVS and P411 tweeting too.  I think it's a good resource for providers to market themselves, as long as they're careful in regards the content of their tweets, since it is a public social network.

I've recently joined twitter as a provider and I have noticed over the past couple of months that it also used as a way to "bond" with other providers. That's why you might see post or threads that are more "telling" about a provider than you would on a discussion forum or from her personal blog. I think twitter allows the providers to be more "real" about what is happening in the industry and they are able to get support from other providers. However I do agree with the clients, Twitter should be a positive platform for advertising, and it should draw more clients to a provider than chase them away.

make sure you never sync your contacts from twitter platform, some people just use twitter from a different device.. or you can use it from your commuter instead of your cell.  
I personally use my cell but I am very careful with sync contacts and with the privacy settings.

Thank you.

Twitter gives you a more rounded picture of a provider's personality, if you're interested in personality. Some providers just post pics, but there are alot who participate a broad range of topics beyond what you find on TER. (Some profound, some random.) I am able to tune-out the angry and BSC ones.

I have to use Twitter for my work and so I'd be too paranoid about being outed to be active with a private account. But I can see where the value is if you don't have a public persona that you need to protect.

I don't have a twitter a/c but my previous ATF turned me on to it.  It was a key part of her business.

I'm relatively new to twitter myself and I love it. It's a great way for hobbyist to keep up with me on what I'm doing throughout my day and week. Also, upcoming travels or even interesting topics to engage in.
