Ah, a Wordpress plugin to allow Tweets to go on your blog. Yes I can possibly see it might be useful...

But then again do I have the spare time, father of 4 who require taking to stuff, taking part in amateur theatre and working with clients in the UK and around the world and the need to be up in their time zone.

Argghhh!

Nice post. When I first heard about Twitter I thought it was a lame social media site for people to tell others they are going to lunch or something. This post definitely tells readers other wise. Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

OK..this has got my head swimming. I've only recently started hearing about twitter, and now I'm starting to think that it is another place to get unfocused. Not knocking your post in any way. It just seems like there is always another thing to try and learn and implement.
I often read James Brausch's blog and he rants against getting 'unfocused' - a point with which I really agree. Actually the other day he posted somehting about possibly hiring an intern just to go out and learn these kinds of things for him and provide a quick synopsis of how they work and if they work for marketing. Not a bad idea really - if you've got the money ;-)

Thanks for the great info. You've given me something to chew on for the next few days.

Cheers,
Eric

@Eric - usualy I delete Brausch's "branding" posts, but this was quite a creative segway - nicely done. :-)

Re: having the time for Twitter/getting unfocused - certainly it shouldn't be one's focus - it's one of the first things I let go when deep into other projects.

Thus, I've had no Twitters for the last week or so, as I got "30 Minute Backlinks" out and about.

But, I do see referral traffic, and I think it's worthwhile when used properly - that is, with focus.

I am with Sara. Twitter was not at all what I thought it was. Sounds like something Thumper would enjoy doing.:) Thanks for explaining it so well.

One example of a company which is doing the right thing on Twitter is Popeye's Chicken. During the presidential debates, when no one gives a @#$% about chicken, they're stepping into the fray and making all these witty puns which put them right in the discussion. Whoever is running that campaign deserves a pat on the back: http://www.clicksharpmarketing.com/blog/2008/10...
