Editor's Notes

  • #7 This is a big fear -- on Facebook you have the option to indicate all sorts of personal things, including your sexuality, your politics, and religion. Some of the answers are pretty whisical, as Buddy Brown is the name of this fellow’s dog. And I am not sure what the Republican Party of the Virgin Islands has to do with anything.
  • #12 Dell found out about a keyboard problem from Tweets on one of their Netbooks and fixed it as a result
  • #13 companies w/ own Twitter page. This is another notification system, better than email because it can reach people’s cell phones via text messages, so it is even more immediate than IM. started by a single person within the company who now has the job responsibility to check the feed and resolve any customer complaints You can resolve ticketing issues with Southwest, banking fees with Bof A, or even keep track of the latest community alerts from the LA Fire Department!
  • #16 Inuit finds customers of its competitors via Twitter and then sends them offers to try their services
  • #17 They make use of a service called Webpartner that automatically collects interested Twitterers in the DC area to market their service
  • #18 business.twitter.com
  • #19 Shel Israel’s Twitterville Laura Fitton (pistachio consulting) Dummies book
  • #25 And use it on your resume!
  • #27 “ Reserve” your name for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, email lists, and other places around the Internet
  • #29 Twitter > LinkedIn status, only can use one Twitter account per Lin account
  • #34 Best sites: VideoJug.com, 5min.com, and Viddler.com -- the Backup Exec video got 700 views from these three sites in two weeks alone
