Default The Definitive Guide To Twitter

Do you want to know how to get more out of Twitter?

I've been getting a lot of questions about how to use Twitter from my clients lately.

Why is there so much buzz about Twitter?

If you feel like you don't understand Twitter or if you want to know how corporations are using it, then I've written an article for you.

Click here to read the article: http://twurl.nl/w5mdhb

[A snippet from the article]
If you don't understand how Twitter works, why it's popular, or don't have the time to use it, the information here will help you wrap your arms around the enormous potential and buzz about the brand.

If you are currently a Twitter user, regardless of your level of experience, there's plenty of information to give you a deeper understanding of the platform with tons of links to add to your tool belt.

Tim, nice article--very comprehensive!

I can really relate to hearing the "I don't get it" comments all the time! Good job of breaking down all of the powerful features.

I know most internet marketers find twitter as a good social networking but for me sometimes I find it as a waste of time. What's good about twitter for you?

For myself, the advantages are visibility, credibility, relationship-building, establishing expertise, traffic to my blog, newsletter sign-ups...I have also been asked to guest on a Blog Talk Radio Show and several teleseminars because of Twitter.

Actually, Twitter is a very comfortable, easy and quick way to communicate with your friends, but as a media to promote your blog is 0. I personally never follow the updates that contain links

I have used twitter and for awhile there were many leads and a lot of traffic coming to my websites. It seems in the past few weeks there was a huge drop off in activity and many are saying that the fad has kind of ran its course. I think Facebook and Myspace may have killed some of its buzz as well by switching up there platforms to look like a hybrid version of Twitter.
