I left twitter alone a long time ago. Your time is valuable. If you must use it outsource to someone else to do. In most cases everyone on this site is doing everything theirself. Ya have to use your time in the most effective way.
i have autoblogs...majority of traffics come from twitter...my 1st ever sale on IM was from twitter... but u need to find targeted traffic in order to perform well with twitter...otherwise, 10 000 followers are not prove anything...
Automated Twitter is a joke. But if you actually use it to start and maintain conversations, it can be amazing. I've hired people for contract work who I met on Twitter.
Twitter is great for my site. When I have a good new article I can get people viewing that thread (my Stats report ~10 visitors on average from Twitter when I post an update) and for me that's valuable.
Twitter is good tool for getting traffic but it is a great tool for wasting time also. You get your time easily wasted and you will not know also.
Its not "purchasing" traffic, but its certainly targeted - to some point. I found that the social networks do a great job in driving targeted traffic so you can give away a free product.

Yes , I once used it to promote a Rumor ,I Got 6000 visitors to my site in 20 mins. after I'd successfully promoted the rumor for a week .
Twitter is best tool for me i have using this from many years and i am very happy with that,. All the best
twitter is superb, a very useful marketing tool, but as ever you need to use a range of marketingapproaches rather than rely on just one avenue.
