Twitter Me this, Twitter Me That

We all know that Twitter is a fast-growing social network that allows you to send short messages about yourself or what you are doing.  For instance, you may decide to share that you "just saw the movie He’s Just Not That Into You - Check it out." Or…you may want to say something like "Just got off the phone with Joel Comm and had a very insightful conversation."

As twitter grows and adapts their rules to accomodate the new user and people adding to their network the demand get more. I have noticed in the last few days that twitter times out quite frequently when you are trying to edit something on the website.  I guess with all the demand on the server it is hard to keep up.

I also noticed that there seems to be a new twitter application or ebook on twitter that is released every other week. I have tested a few of the applications and found they work ok but I went back to what I normally use. As for the ebook’s that come out, free or paid ones, I feel that it is a lot of recycled information.  I personally don’t know about the all the paid ones but free ones all read similar to me in my opinion.

There is one thing I can say about twitter. Since the launch of The $5 Twitter Trick I have noticed a lot of new subscribers to my twitter account. I seem to be getting like 30 new request per day but who is counting. I know if I applied using the trick myself, I’d probably get 10 times more follower to my twitter account.  I did buy the book because it was only $5 and wanted to see if it was anything I haven’t learned already from previous books.

I’m not going to put down twitter, but is it such a great tool as everyone says it is for marketing? Do people make the sales they really say by using twitter? I think its just a fad that will last a year maybe or less in my opinion. I also think that lots of people spam on there. I know you can control who’s tweets you want to see if you use applications like Tweetdeck.

I guess the irony is that I use twitter too. Although I don’t have 13000 follower because my other account got flagged for so called spam like so many others. What is a reasonable amount of tweets you should shoot out there a day? Do you use it too keep the important people on you fav list so you catch their tweets?

Please tell me what you think of Twitter
