1. Why Twitter Totally Rocks

I first heard about twitter in late 2007 when the infamous Dr. Mani announced on one of his newsletters that he discovered Twitter and found it to be a remarkably useful tool. He then encouraged everyone on his newsletters to sign up for an account and follow him on Twitter.

I was pretty burned out on the “latest and greatest” mumbojumbo and failed to appreciate Dr. Mani’s enthusiasm for the new micro-blogging service. It was nearly a full year before I actually looked into twitter and setup an account. I was immediately astonished at Twitter’s ease of use and how quickly you can begin to build a targeted list with very little effort.

Building a list on twitter is not exactly like building a targeted email list but at the same time it’s also very similar.  When someone opts-in to your mailing list they have expressed an interest in your content and want to receive your messages.

Likewise, the same is more or less true of twitter except that your messages don’t go to anyone ‘s email but rather to a central conversation with many participants. Once your message is tweeted it can be seen by your followers as well as your follower’s followers all of whom can reply back to your tweet.

In the IM niche, where email open rates have plummeted, twitter can actually be more effective at reaching an audience than conventional email messages. Many twitterer’s, for example, often install a desktop client on their computers so they can be notified instantly of new tweets.

Twitter is also very similar to Instant Messaging (IM) but with a few crucial differences. First, with IM you can only send a message out to a single individual, not to a large central conversation like with twitter. Second, you can’t really build a large, targeted list with IM like you can with twitter, at least not very quickly or easily. Finally, twitter messages or “tweets” are strictly limited to 140 characters which means very concise messaging.

Twitter rocks because it combines the power of email listbuilding with the power of instant messaging. In so doing, twitter has created a new conversation, communication universe that has few parallels. Furthermore, Twitter allows for a kind of personal branding that really isn’t possible with other communication tools.

It wouldn’t be appropriate, for example, to email your list that you are currently watching a movie or listening to a certain song or playing a video game but it absolutely is appropriate with Twitter and in fact makes your followers feel like they know and trust you.
