Tweet Tweet

So, my friends... I have finally succumbed to a widespread addiction.

I am now on Twitter. That''s right, I tweet.

Not that there is any reason one would need to keep up with my every move. I am really exploring the application as a marketing tool for a current client.

My take so far is that every social network takes a bit of work. From a marketers perspective, to get successful results from signing up for a site like this (and the MySpaces and Facebooks of the world) requires a great deal of community investment. It takes a while to make friends and people wont flock to you automatically. You have to spend some serious time hanging out on the site and making friends.

So, now, I am basking in my new land of steam of consciousness haiku. I like the little community I have gathered so far and pray earnestly for additional followers.

Today, I noticed that the Twitter site is closed for maintenance - yikes! I am already having withdrawal symptoms.
