How Twitter Makes Social Networking a Tweet

What are you doing?

Try following me at http://twitter.com/PhilJohncock. Here’s why:

Two events happened recently that turned me on to Twitter for small businesses:

I have been enjoying the FREE “Thirty Day Challenge” with Internet marketing guru Ed Dale (http://ThirtyDayChallenge.com). I highly recommend this program, by the way and not just because it’s free. I thought I was pretty Internet savy until I started learning from Ed and the team. It takes a commitment of time to watch the videos. But, I guarantee that you will receive some of the most current training on Internet marketing today. As a taste, there are several tools recommended that every Internet marketer needs today: Flock (http://flock.com), Twitter (http://twitter.com), Twhirl (http://twhirl.com), Google Reader (click here), Stumble Upon (http://stumbleupon.com), YouTube (http://youtube.com), and Friend Feed (http://friendfeed.com). In this post, we’ll focus on Twitter.
A good Twitter-friend told me that she was “following on Twitter” some of the top Internet marketing people and networking with some amazing people. It is an example of “social networking” at its very best. While it can be used with friends and family, I’m particularly drawn to how you can learn by following experts, customers, clients, colleagues and thought leaders in your field. I heard a rumor that one entrepreneur filled her teleseminars just by using Twitter.

So, I decided to give you some Twitter resources so you can jump right in and Tweet (a Twitter post) away or refine your Twitter skills if you’ve been around for a while!
