How do you use Twitter? Many us who use Twitter are trying to answer this question and fumbling for the words. As soon as I craft an intelligent and honest response and offer up my answer, I am met with blank stares and more questions. I start all over again and grow frustrated with my inability to answer the recurring question.
Finally, clarity! In a rush to respond, to quiet the noise, I recognize that I am answering the wrong question. Huh?
How do you use Twitter? has nothing to do with a desire to know how I personally use Twitter. I look beyond the language of the question. What is actually being asked is, How can I use Twitter?; or Why should I use Twitter?; or, in some cases, Can you help me understand Twitter? It depends on who is asking.
My answer is yet another question: What are your objectives?
Some questions can only be answered with a conversation.
