    An oldie but still a goodie. Nice succinct deck, Doug.

    Great insight here, but as a Twitter user and B2B marketer, time investment seems to be more and more of an excuse. Integrate your Twitter ID with your demand generation campaigns and create Google alerts to notify you every time your company name comes up. There is minimal time investment and no, you don’t have to hire a new position to do this. Twitter is not a fad. It’s here to stay. Use it or lose it. Be creative. Dust off traditional beliefs. I was that way for a while as well and can relate, but there is significant power here. Google B2B companies using social media and you will see real-world success stories everywhere. :-)

    In my experience, to successfully manage Twitter, B2B marketers have to allocate resources and budget. With shrinking marketing budgets, B2B companies must use their budgets efficiently to expand market-share and drive revenue immediately. I think targeted sales and demand generation campaigns are much more critical at this time. After this recession ends and Twitter popularity continues to grow, it should be a great branding vehicle for B2B companies.

    You might be right but It feels to me that Twitter won’t go away as a B2B marketing medium. Second Life was too hard to get people up to speed in (though maybe it was just ahead of its time and virtual world meetings will come back).

    Hmm. Definitely not convinced.

    It’s great if you want to follow a celebrity (but note that they don’t follow many others).

    So far, I think this is a fad which will fade. Just as people are having second thoughts about Second Life for B2B activity, and holding meetings.

    Thanks. Good point on nofollow (slide 10). I still think there’s backlink potential if followers pick it up and share in other places. But point taken.

    Re: Slide 10. I think I’m right in saying that currently Twitter has ’nofollow’ on all links, so sadly no link juice - yet. @Shortlisted
