If you have not added your Twitter account to your Linkedin profile now is the time.
Linkedin and Twitter have official partnered and it is about to make a big dent in the Social Networking space.

Not only can you now have multiple Twitter accounts added to your Linkedin profile but all hashtags are now recognized. So please use #twarketing if you post this article to your Twitter feed. The only thing I suggest is that you don’t post all of your Tweets to your Linkedin account. When setting up your Twitter account on Linkedin use the selection that allows you to only post the tweets with “Share only tweets that contain #in” hashtag. Take a look at what Reid and Biz below have to say and let me know your thoughts.

This was an interesting conversation between Christopher (Biz) Stone (@biz) and PBS Show host  Tavis Smiley (@tavissmiley).  I have been saying all along that Twitter should not concentrate on the advertising dollars but on the companies and corporations who are making money on Twitter.  Corporations like Dell, BestBuy, Jetblue and Zappos have made millions from their F_R_E_E Twitter accounts. 3 Million Dollars, Dell And A PayPal “Donate” Button I for one would not mind paying for a premium account from Twitter, especially if you gave me a way to organize the people who followed me and gave me Google like analytics as well. I still think Twitter should also consider making money on  major events like the NFL’s Super Bowl,  the PGA’s Masters and major elections. Twitter’s New Election 2008: Twitter Branding At It’s Best As Twitter grows it will have ample opportunity to make money, I just hope to be a part of that money making process when it happens.

If Evan Williams @ev is still trying to figure out what Twitter is going to become then we should just let him think.  Twitter is on the verge of  BLOWING the HECK UP yet most of us, and this includes Evan are unsure what  to do with it. I for one am hooked and have to thank Social CRM Expert Brent Leary @brentleary for not giving up on me when I said to him “What the HECK is a TWEET! and what shot do I need from my doctor so I am not exposed to it.”

The mantra of this blog is Tweet, Follow or Get OUT of the Way and this holds true to all the users and haters of Twitter. Evan mentions in his Ted speech that Twitter was a side project started on a hunch. This blog is a side project started on a hunch that Twitter will grow so much and be such a big part of the mainstream marketing industry, Twarketing results on Google would be in the billions. These Results 1 – 10 of about 1,020 for twarketing are growing quite well as of the date of this post.

So Evan, keep those hunches coming and maybe one day I can buy you lunch in LA from OMG WTF BBQ!!!!1eleven @omgwtfkogibbq
and you can buy me some gas #atlgas here in GA

Holla..;-)

I am not sure if you all noticed a little change in the Twitter Layout lately. This placement of the Twitter Search link could easily become an advertisement.  Now I would not blame them if they sold this space and I would suspect that the powers that be at Twitter are testing to see if anyone complains via tweeting about the placement.  If I were Twitter I would just GO FOR IT and let the chips fall where they may with all who would not like it.

Let me know your thoughts

Robert Scoble decided to do a live video cast on how he keeps up with over 70,000 followers on Twitter. He also gives an example of how he uses FriendFeed to filter all the people he follows on that platform.

The launch of the New Election 2008 site customized by Twitter has come at the best time ever. It was launched on the eve of the first Presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. This new site will be showcasing how Twitter can assist other major events and brands get real time brand recognition and market research.

Lets look at what Twitter’s new venture could do for sporting events like what just happened with the Beijing Olympics (Olympics.twitter.com) or for the those who are watching an event I am passionate about in baseball with the World Series (worldseries.twitter.com) Those who watched the last Olympics would have a place to discuss all the different meets, medals, victories and defeats. Major League Baseball could use Twitter to have their fans keep track of playoff scores and real time play by play for our favorite teams.

How about one of the most watched sporting events in the Superbowl (superbowl.twitter.com) The NFL could have real time forum of fans that who would love to get a chance to dialogue with their favorite teams, players and coaches.

Popular television shows like NBC’s Heroes (heroes.twitter.com) and new shows like CBS’s The Mentalist (thementalist.twitter.com) could build even more of a following for their fans who have a passion for talking about what happened and what will happen next on their favorite show.

Last but not least this new customized Twitter site could be used to launch a new product or service. Think of Twitter launching a product that you want to get out to the marketplace (yourproductname.twitter.com) All those who want to purchase your product could get instant access to satisfied customers already using it. You could also get automatic feedback from those who might be having a problem or have a suggestion on how to improve your product. You then get to monitor and then utilize some of the praise comments for future marketing efforts.

Twitter would finally then have a way to generate some decent revenue with each customization. They could even offer this to the same Fortune 500 companies (Walmart.twitter.com) that are currently missing out on what Twitter has to offer.

My only hope is that they also make this customization affordable for smaller businesses and not price it out of the stratosphere.

Let me know your thoughts on the matter at hand.

All the best

JB

It is amazing to me that in this day and age of Web 2.0 technology and Social Media there are still some major corporations that have not embraced the Twarketing boom that is occurring right now. Some of the companies that have currently impressed me the most on Twitter are not even part of the Fortune 100.

Whole Foods, Jet Blue, Woot, SouthWest Airlines and Zappos are taking advantage of Twitter’s market potential.  Most of the Fortune 500 are missing the boat on this one and I just want to let it be known who they are and ask my readers to help me catalog those that I have missed.

If corporations want to find out the dos and don’ts for Twarketing please check out Social Marketing Guru Jeremiah Owyang’s Blog or my previous post on Jeremiah’s best blog post about Twitter http://twarketing.com/2008/08/20/twarketing-jeremiah-owyang-twittercomjowyang/
