I blogged about exactly the same topic today. The first thing I recommend clients consider when thinking about Twitter marketing is to ask their clients and prospects if they Twitter. If you get blank stares it might be best to hold off for now.....
I think Twitter is a great and fun site...It has a lot of potentials...also the people there are pretty friendly and helpful.
would love to follow you LOL....

Twitter is definitely catching on, it is another tool to add to promo arsenal. It speaks highly to web 2.0 and the future of marketing.
I just visited your site by chance on the normal web crawl we do nightly and got stuck listening to and watching your "make your site a marketing machine" video presentation,. Excellent job, well done, it has helped me and whilst listening i could not help but make the changes, not all obviously, its taken me 5 years tio get we we are in a very competative industry, we WILL become clients of yours this year!

Awesome article. I'm definitely atwitter about Twitter as I see it as a simple, easy way to blog without getting glassy eyed at the computer. It's a terrific marketing and PR tool that can be fun in the process!
We feel that twitter is so easy to use and it offers so much potential for marketing on a budget
------------------------------------------------
Dave Winer, father of RSS says “Twitter, as it was conceived, was never meant to live.”
“It’s very possible with better engineering its architecture might have gone on for a few more years, but eventually it would have hit this wall, where there were too many people posting too many twits to too many followers. The scale of the system as conceived rises exponentially.”
So is the end of Twitter getting near? I hope not. Twitter I hope that you are listening and you better start taking things more seriously.
-----------------------------------------------
Here's my two cents.
For instance there are about 100m users of yahoo messenger and usually 2-3 of them talk at a time that means scalability of 300m conversations. On the other hand with 100m twitter users who usually send messages to 100-10,000 other users the scalability required is 10,000m to 10^6m I have never known any current architecture based on webservers to handle such a scale. So according to me Twitter was never meant to live. It is like a concept car that will never see production. Users of twitter don't understand this and they don't care.
They don't know whats happening when the website is down. The sad part is that the best analysts claim that Twitter is a billion dollar company in one year of operations. There is an old saying before the days of when people understood permutation combinations. One peasant asked a king to give him rice equal to the total amount gotten by placing double the number of rice grains on a chess square than the previous square, starting with one rice grain. There are 8x8=64 squares. We seriously need to visit grade 7 mathematics.
I know of only one News/Messaging system that supports around 1 billion users sending messages to all 1 billion users each. Thats a scalability of 10^12m. It is not Web based but rather on a massively scalable serverless P2P architecture based. The team is soft spoken and when I last talked to them I was told that they don't care about money or hype or fame but rather for just the passion of next generation global systems that will stand the test of worldwide use. Its called Mermaid News
Mermaid They have other softwares too but this post is about Twitter and Messaging. Once everyone comprehends basic mathematics that goes behind scalable algorithms they would go past the flashy screen and hype to actually want a system they can trust. To the analysts I would say it is easy to create a business plan, create a hype and raise $20m funding it is far more difficult to create something of use.
I just found this post from your answer on LinkedIn. I like the bit about being able to follow tweets about your company, but the url you provided isn't pulling up (terraminds). Is there another that accomplishes the same task?
Thanks.

@Robyn - Thanks for letting me know. Twitter now has a search engine of their own - I updated the link in the article, and here it is: http://search.twitter.com
I've used twitter for a few projects with mixed results. I agree though - you're only limited by your imagination!
Thanks for the great information! I never heard of Twitter before. Thanks for posting this!!
Twitter is a great tool when not abused for pointless posts. I find it works well as a means of establishing relationships with credible industry professionals, for developing a personal brand and for keeping in the now with what industry experts are doing or sharing.
Solid list here. Thanks for sharing.
I am so grateful for this podcast. You I have been online for years and have SEO clients, BUT I have never taken Twitter seriously.
I like how you present this information.
Thanks,
Yvonne
I want to invite people on my company website to follow our company twitter. How do I do that? I'm finding Twitter has a pretty steep learning curve for those of us new to social media. Thanks so much for your very detailed and convincing help.
I am just starting to use Twitter and found this article interesting and helpful. Thanks!

I work with several clients that I am trying to impress the importance of using twitter. I am wondering if you only had a 140 characters to do so what would you say?
Thanks for the great information.
Started promoting our site
ibenefitRx. Its kinda hard with not realy "specials" to micro-blog about though.
and the @ chats seem slike they are spamming!
Hi - thanks for the great story - I just signed up for Twitter today and love the advise given here.
Thanks for the howto. We have been using twitter for a bit. It's a great tool to communicate on the go.
Useful article and presentation Mike. Thanks. We're going to recommend it and post a link from our site.
Glad to hear that your opinion on Twitter has changed, although it sounds like you still have some doubts ("Now I think it has some value...")
The
Ashton Kutcher / malarianomore.org win this week is an excellent example and only the tip of the iceberg.
great post, i got my first twitter now.. hope can help my marketing. :)
Hi
I have been wondering - if when I post it message on my home page would or would not all the people following me see it ?
Also what about people I am following ? Would they see it as well ?
I would like to know if I can I send a message out to everyone at once ?.
Please tell me how all of this works.
Thank you Craig

Some clients I've consulted have had a lot of success out of automating the promotion and deal tweets on Twitter as you mentioned. Thanks!
From an security aspect, engaging CEO's in social media might be one tricky move to pull off. Who doesn't remember the recent scandals surrounding Twitter tweets leaking confidential information? Personally, I'd be wary and leave the Twittering and social media to a communications expert.
Great read very useful information this will help in our marketing efforts!

A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road. As they pass each other, the woman leans out of the window and yells "PIG!!" The man immediately leans out of his window and replies, "WITCH(女巫)!!" They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road. If only men would listen.
Nice Posting, thanks for sharing your thoughts!!! :)
