    I know nothing about it, all i do know is these things come up, everyone jumps on it then it becomes frowned upon and onto the next thing.

    For now im sticking with tried and tested marketing methods.

    I really don't know much about it... though I guess that I need to learn. But don't really understand the big deal over it.

    Twitter is a great marketing tool if you know how to use it. Once you have a certain number of followers you can drive good traffic to your website, and it is more easy to do that than others Social network websites (my opinion...)

    How long has it been running??

    Founded in 2006.

    What do you know about TWITTER??

    At it's worst Twitter is a really stupid new fad.
    but...

    On a good day Twitter is:
    • An amazing live search engine,
    • Powerful marketing tool, and...
    • Something you need to learn about.

    I've been hanging around twitter since late 2007 and have recently started using it to market tons of offers to a very smart followership. Getting tons of returns and traffic pretty much free.

    Twitter is a Mini Blog and has an rss feed that you can ping. I put my urls in twitter and ping it have been doing so for 2 years now. My twitter has a Page rank of 6 and I have around 1200 followers. Twitter has no follow links but does get picked up by yahoo.

    Twitter is many things to many people but what often goes unnoticed is that it can be an incredibly powerful marketing & community building tool with the ability to develop your brand, build relationships with your audience and provide a promotional medium that has the ability to go viral

    Twitter is just a lazy people's blog. Although being made popular by many bloggers, not sure it is as worth as it has been projected now.

    They've gotten a LOT of good press and publicity lately... and it's being mentioned constantly on talk shows, incorporated in newscasts, and supposedly being used by a lot of newsmakers and celebs. Nobody could afford to pay for the publicity theyve gotten... so it may be a fad, but it's a fad that'll make the owner uber-wealthy if he sells it soon. Even if it's the next beanie baby or pet rock its worth a lot if sold during the craze.

    Related note - I blogged about it today (see link by avatar)... but until the VB8 software shows something besides the name of my blog you'd have no way of knowing that. :p
    [Yeah, I tried the recommended fix, didnt work for me.]

    Twitter can be a very powerful marketing tool for your site. I would recommend everyone to hop on board and figure out how to take advantage.
