Web 2.0 App Of 2008 For Solopreneurs: Twitter


twitter_logo2Happy New Year. I have to apologize first to my many readers for taking so long to post for the new year. I have been trying to determine what I am going to focus on both professionally and personally for 2009 and could not get my act together until now. This post will be short and sweet because I just want to pay homage to just one Web 2.0 application that has really made an impact on me and many millions of others.

Twitter, oh and by the way my Twitter address is @jbrath. If you don’t have a Twitter account yet get one NOW. It is free and will bring you into a whole new world of social media interaction. I got so wrapped up in Twitter I grabbed the domain name Twarketing.com to study the many companies using Twitter as a marketing tool.

There are many books on Twitter but I am personally waiting for the release of Joel Comm’s book Twitter Power to come out next month.

If you are new to Twitter, one of the best blogs to get up to speed is Twitip.com TwiTip is edited by Darren Rowse from ProBlogger

There are even more Twitter application to support your using Twitter. Some of my favorites are Tweetdeck.com, SocialToo.com and Twittercounter.com

You can also use Twitter’s search engine when  you want to do research on something and get real time responses.

So I would have to again say that Twitter made the largest impression on me in 2008 and I am looking forward to what they have in store for 2009.

Have a blessed and prosperous 2009 and please tell me your experience with Twitter Good or Bad.

All the best

JB

  • I started using Twitter at the end of 2008, and quickly realized how powerful it is for marketing. I believe it will remain one of the best social networking tools throughout 2009.
