Twitter

[bogeyman]

Twitter is good for business.

That is if your tweets are like a canary, rather than a crow.

HTH

Eh?

Twitter isn't for everyone, in the same way bulletin boards or blogs aren't. Some people like the sound of their own tone of voice a little too much, others see too much noise to signal, some like to be passive observers - or active facebook/myspace stalkers.

To each his own, but I like Twitter. By following the right people, by choosing carefully, doing your research, there's nothing like it for staying on top of industry trends and understanding the motives of the top people in your game.

I wouldn't be so quick to write Twitter off just because, like the rest of t'interweb, it's 98% rubbish to 2% brilliance.

Well said that man, although I suspect the signal to noise ratio is even lower than you suggest. I've made some useful/interesting contacts via Twitter, and managed to blag myself onto the Microsoft BizSpark program via one in particular.

Do you know there's one place where this has not happened?

And its the good old tube.

Dead silence all the way for the most part and long may it continue.

I blame northeners. They like to witter and prattle about nothing.
