WebProNews

This is all well and good but really only makes a difference for when someone tries to do a real time search for breaking news and has to fish for relavent tweets/ news hits. If everyone spams the phrases like 'michael jackson is dead' but there's no useful content behind it, just a link to a spam site, then the link is useless even if it does have a high following.

I'll be interested to see how businesses try to pick up on it for marketing. My company tweets and uses social networking as a very small segment of marketing but the content is actually worthwhile to the followers. For instance, we often post coupons to tweets or facebook that wouldn't be found on our site or in email campaigns. It works to keep people interested in the feed but would probably not affect traffic all that much.
