Thanks for the article, especially the blog links. Loved looking at those cheerleaders on intentionalfoul.com! Phew! Where was I... Oh yes, of course, I tweeted your post. The last comments are a helpful reminder of good tweeticet.

I'm not sure I get what is spam and what isn't on Twitter. I guess posting a link to your article is not spam (or is it?), but if I post a link to say that I just wrote an article "here"(link), is THAT spam? But if that is what I have just done, then why not tell people who are following me???

So far, I have enjoyed clicking other people's "I've just posted..." links to articles, blogposts and so on, even ones that are trying to convince me to click through to a sales page.

I must admit I'm not so keen on clicking on Twitter links that take me directly to an affiliate product sales pages though. Hmm. Feels like I'm being cheated out of a bit of love and attention from the marketer I guess!!

Articles! ah..hum.

We all know how  good well copywritten material is essential to creating,maintaining,refreshing our websites is, if we want to be in the forefront of search and visitor aquisition and conversion.

So much so these days as to assemble words and phrases so way out,in order to, what we assume will hit the reader hard with  a BIG impression.

I think Jason is an exeptionally competant author,but even himself appears to at times excel in the production of mind exploding sentences,for example;

The first paragraph about (about is such a simple word,we all understand),yes!about Limerick and Limerick 2. Am i missing a trick here i simply dont understand.

This one is fantastic,and i mean it in a nice way,quote"I pinged an elite group of leading edge,on the fringe,historically wid web west new media hip- shooters about effective professional tweeting" wwow! that is so bow-wow-wow-yipee-yo-yipee=ayish. Sorry Jason,maybe im just a PR poser,naysayer, No offence, just hope you can take a joke. I really do enjoy your articles.

It's funny I wrote a guest post today about a few myths surrounding social media. Many still view Twitter as a waste of time. Sadly, life is not all business. In the workplace do you only discuss company business with colleagues or do you often have  gasp "small talk" before a meeting starts, in the hallway or round the proverbial watercooler? The allure of Twitter is found in the minutiae. The minutiae is a marketer's dream. I could rely on charts, graphs and demographic tools to get to know my market or I can hang out with them and gather the info real time. It always surprises me that people miss what appears so obvious.

I completely agree with your last sentence, Jason. If people or businesses haven't already established a following, I don't think Twitter will have much effect on their popularity.

Having just created my Twitter account a few weeks ago, I know I'm a little late to the party, but honestly, I don't think it's a very fun party (and I admit I haven't contributed much to make the party better.)

Though I've joined in, I don't think the fact that the word "twit" is part of the service's name is a coincidence, judging by the majority of the tweets ("twits"? "twitters"?) people post.

It is a nice little 2.0 tool. I attended the blogIndiana conference a few weeks back, and the organizers set up an account, which Twitterers (tweeters? twits?) used to post comments about presenters, ask questions, and find out about sessions they couldn't attend. But beyond uses such as this, I'm not too confident Twitter is an integral part of Webiverse 2.0.
