Hey Recently I got an email from my friend to Join Twitter and I Immediately joined it. But I have doubt if I will be able to promote my blog/website through it.. Let me know your experience with Twitter
I am using Twitter, but not for marketing. I think it's a very interesting service with a lot of potential. For instance, I was on a vacation to Valencia in Spain a few days ago. My wallet was stolen, and I posted it on Twitter. It took a few minutes, and "all" my friends had this information. It's a great service to share information. I have seen some people that are trying to use it for marketing purposes only, but I am not sure if they are successful or not. Jens
Well, it all depends. In the beginning, I was getting some GREAT traffic... more recently, it died down but that's because I'm not going on it as much. But if you need a decision on whether you should join or not, check out this post http://www.datmoney.com/2008/03/getting-noticed-with-twitter-and-get-some-good-traffic.html Hope it helps!
It's a good socializing site or to use for sending out information to people who add you (Or more likely return you adding them. This is a great way to get more views of your information but as an advertisement you'll get removed quick if it's not something that they want to see.) For marketing it can only work well if you have something that people want to read, and know that they want to read it. Marketing via socializing so to speak. Larger or specialized companies/people of interest be able to use this for marketing. However, it won't work well for everything.
Twitter is a great tool for both Socializing and Marketing. You can build a large amount of followers using this website and if they are interested in what you are doing, you could potentially grab a whole lot of traffic. If you have lots of followers Twitter can help you a lot whether it be with marketing, socializing or just building relationships with other people.
