I think twitter is a great tool, and i've just started exploring marketing via twitter and instagram. i have to say, twitter is turning out to be an amazing platform to get my work out into the world.

As a reviewer and a Blogger I prefer book blogs by reviewers.

A good point, though people who love reading shouldn't have problem with that.ALynnPowers wrote:I think Twitter is probably better because there is the potential to reach more people, as opposed to with a blog. Because tweets are so short, you can read them quickly, as opposed to a blog where you might have to click on another link to be taken to another page to read the full article... and people today just don't have the time, patience, or attention spans to be bothered with that.

Again, I think using both is the best approach.

Most readers of books don't play around with Facebook/Twitter all day, so you have to catch them at the right time. I stayed active through the Thanksgiving/Christmas weeks promoting away, because most people were stuck in airport terminals checking flight times, and fiddling with their tablets...That's when to hit them.

Twitter feels like a way to connect with fans, while book blogs seem like a way to get reviews (especially if the bloggers crosspost to goodreads or amazon), with the connecting with fans being a secondary concern. If anything, book blogs would be about the bloggers connecting with the readers, and the authors connected with bloggers, rather than a direct connection.
But I could be completely wrong. I'm not a very savvy SNS person.
