The problem is you follow them, they follow you and then they don't tweet about the reason I am following them in the first place. In fact, one of the most connected people in my industry tweets all day long. It makes you wonder, where do they find the time?Bill Hamberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332051777445567157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308233174730005922.post-3515037808488383462011-01-10T15:55:33.421+00:002011-01-10T15:55:33.421+00:00Great article Wayne.

I've had a nagging feeling for some time about the exact point that you've articulated so well. <br /><br />Working in marketing myself I've found it very hard to get real value from using Twitter, other than to provide an amusing distraction.<br /><br />So many businesses are so obsessed with providing "interesting content" that my News feed has just become a borefest of Top 10 Tips articles and Stephen Fry retweets...Luke Watkinhttp://www.jobinaclick.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308233174730005922.post-44582773102945629582010-12-20T10:04:23.920+00:002010-12-20T10:04:23.920+00:00hi,

While Twitter is fun and it has it's uses, most business people fail to understand their products, services and advertising are inherently uninteresting to the outside world.

For example, my hosting company once used Twitter during a catastrophic failure they suffered. Their engineers gave live updates as they brought everything back online. From my perspective as an anxious customer, this was absolutely brilliant. I'm sure it was useful their end too, as they weren't fielding endless calls from their customers asking the inevitable question over and over again.<br /><br />In this article I'm focussing on the viability of Twitter as a direct contributor to a company's promotional activity. It's certainly useful for some kinds of business, but I take the view it's destined to fail for the majority (for the reasons stated).Wayne Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425315423552852381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308233174730005922.post-59045237048007440132010-11-12T14:16:01.301+00:002010-11-12T14:16:01.301+00:00Hi Wayne

Found it interesting so think I'll retweet it :-)<br /><br />I think the point of twitter for companies is to provide the human face of the company and allow its clients closer access, both to send messages to them and to follow what interests them.<br /><br />Also it keeps the company front of mind in the client's mind.<br /><br />However like you say it has to be compelling. For instance I'm interested in links my hosting company posts, their announcements of upgrades, etc.Jonnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351889647575034716noreply@blogger.com
