I started using Twitter in 2006 to feed an insatiable desire for procrastination. It seemed harmless enough and it was more interactive than a Rubik’s Cube so how could it hurt.

Frank Brown - I agree that businesses are interested in using Twitter to promote their products, yet Twitter has not established an advertising platform yet. You would think Twitter would be able to provide relatively efficient targeted advertising via aggregating tweet/profile information...like facebook does. It will be interesting to see how they find a way to make money off of such a popular product.

RankUno - Thanks for the 5 steps, Mario! Adding to #1, Be Realistic about yourself - Let your user name be your brand or company name, place your brand/company logo as the profile image and let your bio give details about your company/brand. I would also more than agree on sticking to your target audience by asking questions to yourself on a regular basis.

“The best gauge at the moment of the impact of the new site is WHO is ‘engaging’ with the site. We have new bloggers who did not previously participate. We have new people uploading reader pictures who did not previously engage with the website. We have people commenting on stories, blogs etc who did not previously interact. We have gone from a limited conversation between the same 10 people to a much bigger conversation with more varied and interesting topics.”
