Birds of a twitter brand promote like crazy

I just updated my Twitter account and scrolled through a few of the pages. It seems that for general searches, i.e. communications, the results aren't really that specific.

Everyone is on there. The space can get kind of crowded, and it's a brand (pun intended) new phenomenon (ten seconds is old on earth 2.0). I have found a few friends and will get into the program to understand how it can be utilized. There are job posts, individual looking for services and a whole host of things.

If anyone is going to get a page which will at all talk about work or look for clients - keep that apart from personal silly stuff. Don't promote a business with @2sxxy4u. The same rules we followed with email kind of apply.

Some of the pages are simply pictures of business cards, which is a great idea. I am imagining that flow of communication. Someone sees a twicture of a business card and picks up the phone. They then contract with a business that way. Nope. They would do research and Twitter may help if there is a pre-existing relationship. It's the metrics and following what streams bring in which pools of leads that are key to understanding this new connector of people.
