I think a lot of people forget how important it actually is to use twitter as a source of information as well. I feel that these days far too many bloggers are setting up twitter accounts just so they can spam their followers with links, instead of interacting with them

I agree. I think because it started as a social movement, businesses may not necessarily see the benefits of it for them within that world. When you think about it, it’s really a free resource tool. Thanks for reading!

Robert I think that Twitter is a must tool for marketing, but when done so, people forget that Twitter is a social network and not a TV with commercials. I don’t mind people promoting their content or website, but I don’t like the fact that they just set up an account to tweet 30 times the same website to all people. One thing that made me lough was, a girl mentioned me and tweeted me a link to a website talking about work from home for moms…
I understand that she wants to earn money, but she should have at least put some effort to it and pick a website that fits my age and gender
