I’m the first to admit I was a bit slow on the uptake for Twitter. My husband had been nagging me for months to get on to Twitter and use it as a way to grow my businesses.

Several of the more prolific ones that I follow swear they spend no more than 30 minutes a day on Twitter, but I really find that hard to believe. Many times it seems they are twittering just to say something, like “Good morning Twitterverse” when they begin their day, give more details than I want to know about what they had for lunch, what their children said to them, or when they take a nap.

The following is a response to questions I field from numerous marketers and attempts to compare the two based on four parameters.
