Is it okay to Tweet and Run? How long should someone remain on Twitter after posting a tweet?

I should add that I generally try and wait around a few minutes to see if there are any responses after I tweet something.

you shouldn't feel obligated after you tweet ,, that's the beauty of twitter

While I rarely leave Twitter and refresh the page often to see what is new, there are times when things call me away. In that case, I look at the new and older tweets to see what I missed.

I tend to use twitter via instant messenger during the workday, so I see everything. I very rarely go on the main site except to approve follower requests and check replies. When I'm out and about, I will send tweets via SMS, but not always have my SMS set to "on", so that could be a form of tweeting and running since I won't see any incoming @ replies until I get back home or near open wi-fi to check in.

I never saw Twitter as an ongoing conversation, though it seems like many people use it as a micro-chat room as much a micro-blog.

I will sometimes watch for replies but since I tweet alot while at work I might sometimes miss one that came over google talk

Interesting question simply for the fact that Twitter seems to be evolving and it represents something different to many different users.

Twitter is not chat; I don't think anyone should feel obligated to hang around for responses. I figure if a conversation starts as a result of a tweet it should continue on a larger blog, chat, or a forum.

interesting post,thanks
