- 18. So, earlier on today I put on twitter that I was unhappy with the service I had got from the Commonwealth Bank. Anyhow, I then started getting followed by someone who sent me a message asking me what happened? Turns out he was in Customer Relations at the bank. Anyway, I sent him back a few direct twitter messages telling him of my frustration and he obviously pulled my details up on his computer and gave me a call and lodged a complaint form! How cool is that!?

- 22. Weāve surpassed $2 million in revenue in terms of Dell Outlet sales, but weāre also seeing that itās driving interest in new product as well. Weāre seeing people come from @DellOutlet on Twitter into the Dell.com/outlet site, and then ultimately decide to purchase a new system from elsewhere on Dell.com. If we factor those new system purchases that come from @DellOutlet, weāre actually eclipsed $3 million in overall sales. From http://en.community.dell.com

- Think about when you stand at a bar or in the lunch room at work. You pick up snippets of conversations. Sometimes you join in. Other times you ignore them. Perhaps you even eavesdrop. Twitter is a place where random assortments of people meet. Trying to define Twitter by its technical characteristics is like describing music through the wave frequencies of sounds. It’ll be technically correct but largely useless to most people. At the moment, Twitter doesn't make any money! There's a big question mark about whether it will last. Some stats say that young people don;t use it. Not sure that matters.
- Of course, some people have other views... This is, of course, a little bit of humour but it highlights that Twitter's role in all this is still immature

- Using Twitter as an example but could apply similar principles to Facebook, LinkedIn, etc Short - 140 character maximum Instant - once you enter it’s out there (no recall, although you can delete a tweet) Everyone sees it - although it’s likely that followers will be the main ones that take notice Replies, retweets and direct messages Click-throughs to your website, retweets, uptake of special offers (think of how you measure responses to mail-outs, phone campaigns, etc) Best way to learn about how twitter works and what it can do is to look at the real world

- Conferencing and events Twitter feeds on the screen are dangerous and ought to be avoided in my view Having someone in the audience following the Tweet-stream is useful. You can use a plant in the audience and discretely use SMS to let the presenter know what the audience is focussing on (saw this used to great effect recently but relies on having an experienced presenter who can think on their feet. Hashtags are a protocol that lets tweets about a specific topic be pulled together eg #sytycd

- Put a link to a Twitter feed on your corporate home page Not only tells people you’re on Twitter but lets them know your actual feed. There are many instances of people using false names to pretend they’re someone else In the example I used earlier about journalist Asher Moses, the situation was exacerbated when fakers pretended to be Asher and made more inflammatory remarks. Register obvious contractions and other forms of your company name. There's no enforcement of the same rules for Twitter names as there are for corporate domain names. It;s a free for all.
