They simply get a boost up with the help of webmasters !! They had a unique idea and it really worked !!
I am a marketer and I use twitter. What is twitter? Basically it is a great way to socialize and market at the same time. For a lot of people its just a conversation between friends and they like the thought that more and more people might like to hear their opinion. When you do not have a reason to use twitter, it seems fairly pointless and also makes no sense as to why so many people are really going crazy for it. There are really big leverage issues with twitter. Twitter is actually a major player in the evolution of search as we know it. If google and Twitter were boxers and in a ring,.. Twitter would be winning the fight. Think about how quickly news travels accross the web and who gets it first. Google news falls way behind bloggers,.. and bloggers are no match for Twitter where it comes to breaking news. Twitter is a constant conversation on every subject under the sun and anything not being talked about is only waiting for you to get people buzzing about it. Think about buzz. If you are a marketer, and you want to infuse your website with traffic,.. just spend a day joining into the already flowing conversation surrounding your topic. Get others to know you exist and are a good approachable person,.. and they will follow links to your website. It's that easy. So,.. if you want to sit back and watch the twitter universe evolve without you, I have no problem with that and I wish you well. If you want to take part and use twitter to evolve your online presense like I do,... come join me on Twitter, be my friend and I will show you around twitter.com/csendres
