Seriously, what is twitter? Well, check it out. Twitter Oh, and make sure to set up an account and Follow Me on it. It’s similar to Facebook or Myspace where you update what you are doing at the time. It’s basically a way for people to stay in touch with each other, but in reality it is much more than that.
Politicians like Barack Obama are using it to alert the press and the public as to what the next move is. You can do the same for yourself when you are working on a new online project or are simply looking to allow people a chance to get to know you as a real person. I recommend doing both. If you want to properly market “You Inc” then its important that on top of being an expert in your field you are real person that people would actually like and enjoy learning about what you do.
It’s page rank on google is an 8 out 10, a very popular site and high traffic site to have your links and information on. It is a great way to build popularity and to show your particular expertise in a chosen field.
Again, I do not recommend that you just go in and post a link to your site over and over again in your posts. That is a sure way to make the folks following you there want to be SICK!
Ferny Ceballos referred to twitter as New Age “Voyagerism” and I guess I have to agree there, but it is a good way to stay in touch with your contacts and get them to the information that they crave!
Enjoy!

Jason, has it right here. Twitter can be an amazing marketing resource for any small business, but you’ve go to do it the right way. Like any other legitimate online marketing effort, it is crucial that you provide your followers with information that they will find valuable. Start sending spammy junk and your followers will dry up faster than a puddle in Phoenix!
