There was a prior thread on this started by Bianca Berends under "Techniques, Tips and Tools" but I think there were only a couple of responses.

I try to use it infrequently, when I have something more interesting to say than what I had for breakfast. I do find it annoying when people post a lot of trivial nonsense that I have to scroll through.

I think Twitter is good to use when you have an announcement to make, a link to a post to promote your blog, or something you have discovered that may be helpful to others. I think that is professional. I am not sure how effective it is in advancing a portrait career.

I think it is easier to connect with people and share what you are doing on Facebook - once you meet a few artists, things tend to go viral and all of a sudden you have 300 friends.
