Page 2: Marketers find Twitter a tweet recipe for success 
"It's all about Internet marketing," he says. "If you can catch someone's attention on Twitter, and 
they go write a blog post about you, someone else might link to it, and that will help your Google 
rankings." 
Matt Rutledge, CEO of Dallas-based website Woot, sends out only one Twitter tweet a day -- and it's 
the only marketing he does. 
Woot sells just one item a day and announces what it is nightly via a Tweet and an RSS feed to his 
website. Rutledge now has 270,000 Twitter followers -- No. 18 overall on Twitterholic's rankings, 
and No. 1 business. Whole Foods Market and Zappos.com are close behind with 263,000 and 
262,000, respectively. 
He can't point to any measurable sales gains from his Twitter love but says, "It's been enjoyable to 
watch Twitter grow. For us, with just one product per day, it's really well aligned with a short, 
micro-summary." 
Jason Hirschhorn, who recently resigned his post as president of Sling Media, the online 
programming arm for Sling, is happily unemployed but eager to broadcast his latest missives on 
both Facebook and Twitter from two to 10 times daily. 
"It's whatever's on my mind," he says. "I love the idea of telling people what I'm thinking about 
without having to talk to them," he says. 
On the plus side, he says he reads their posts as well. "I'm able to ingest a lot more than if I was 
having conversations with them," he says. "I wonder less about what to read or watch, because they 
post it, and I value their opinions."
