Well, from a cynical start, I progressed with a new Twitter background thanks to Kip and actually started watching how different people use twitter.
Targeting and following entrepreneurs and business people has given me a following of over 700, and targeted newsworthy tweets have resulted in traffic on both buisness directories and this forum. We've also made a couple of sales on the UK Directory which I'm still baffled by!
So I'm less cynical, and now starting to appreciate the appeal and power of twitter.
Sending constant sales stuff just doesn't work, but link to something interesting or perceived as interesting and you have an interesting traffic generator.
I have a long way to go, and looks like a lot more to learn, but it's progress!
As always, be good to hear any other feedback, good or bad.
I may even tweet this
