http://venturebeat.com/2008/12/15/twitter-has-made-dell-1-million-in-revenue/ Twitter has made Dell $1 million in revenue Above is the original blog post. $1 million in revenue in the last 1 and a half years just from twitter is not bad at all. All they did was put out discount sales updates to their followers. I checked them out on twitter. Although Dell has a few different Twitter accounts for different divisions, all their updates are only in the hundreds. Most profiles less than 500 updates. Okay, it's true that Dell leveraged existing brand power, but Twitter is also a great way for branding and build credibility by itself.
Good Info Weng, I believe that Twitter is one of the most powerfull tool in IM, Especially Buzz/viral Marketing.
Absolutely. One of the key aspects of twitter is that of someone typing that message minutes or even seconds ago! People love when stuff is live, and this is very close to live.
Excellent find Weng, Interesting read too 'cause recently I've written about Twitter and it can be manipulated as a great marketing tool. There's a reported 4-5 million twitter accounts!!!!! With another 5k-10k made new everyday! It's really a gold mine for marketers and waiting to be exploited sooner or later
Tweetbay.com has launched classified site that integrate with twitter, I think it will make twitter a nice platform for Buying & Selling products among social circle.
twitter is very powerful few years ago only techie people or webmaster would go on it and now everyone goes on it.
Yeah, the people who I see using the site as intended seem to be having great results with it. The spammers will get banned or ignored and complain that it doesn't work.
Good find, but I don't think most people are quite that lucky. I'm going to give Twitter a shot since there has been so much discussion here lately. I setup my account af ew minutes ago. Unless you have a large following, I just don't think you'll recieve much traffic from this thing.
Joined twitter today and I'm addicted!!! I had a myspace page but pulled that down a year ago, I may go back and put one up. Twitter is another great way to promote your site! I'm using it for my site comedyworld - though my site is a niche site with in a larger market (concert tickets). I'm going to use it to get in contact with others I know and spread the word on my site!
