What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?
Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.

I am a fairly regular Twitter user, more so when I'm not traveling, Here's what I tweet, and what I think my ROI is:
I tweet my posts as they are published. I re-tweet great stuff that has been tweeted by others, and by great stuff I mean links to posts, news items, questions to be answered, referrals, etc. I ask questions and engage in casual conversation (the equivalent of stopping by someone's cube for a quick question or feedback). I use it for research, networking, find a source, etc. I've used it to support causes that I believe in, get a restaurant recommendations, and re-connect with old friends.
What I get out of it: Increased readership to my blog, and with increased subscriptions and traffic my advertising rates go up. It helps to position myself as an expert, leading to speaking engagements and some consulting projects. It shortens research time, which in turn increases by hourly rate. It's connected me with the right people for press trips (group and solo). I've found referrals for hiring writers. I've raised money for a cause. I've made friends, who've had occasion to send work my way or to make an introduction that has opened a door or two.
That's why Twitter has value to me.
Lana - there IS no magic bullet, even if we all keep looking for one! Ha! For over 30 years of marketing and advertising consultancy I've been a proponent of this recipe for success: have a Media Mix. The media has changed, but the recipe hasn't.
BTW others - I love Twitter and how it connects me to events and trainings I would not otherwise know about. Last week did a personal interview w/a gal I met on Twitter, met another Twitter friend for drinks and am following another Twitter friend who is keeping me up on her travels (and Travails) in Nepal via Facebook. Oh, yeah the couple we had over for dinner (a writer and marketing guru) I first met at a TweetUp in Sedona.
Do you follow me? --Travelwriter is my Twitter handle.
We've had travellers coming to places asking where are the groovy cafes or restaurants serving late, or just the local bar terraces with a view eg:

Travel blogging is sharing your local secrets with either locals or visitors aswell as telling the world about your trips away :)
