Integrate with the most popular competition.The single most useful feature I personally uncovered from Twitter was the ability to integrate it into my Facebook page so that may Twitter updates also become my status on Facebook.

Well, one thing I learn is when you offer a service or product make sure it has unique features or some distinct quality that won't be find on existing brands.

Twitter updates also become my status on Facebook.This demonstrates a fact that many entrepreneurs already know by integrating with your competition where your “customers” currently are, you make it easier for them to migrate over to your site.

“less is more” - Twitter is the ultimate proof of that which forced 140 character messages have made us all refocus on brevity, and as a result of this volume decrease.

The ego piece of rank is without the most powerful piece that will really mean a lot more to the owners of popular Twitter pages. Think about how easy it was to get blog rss in the beginning and how much noise you need to swim through now. The same thing should happen to Twitter soon and the early riser will reap the lions share of the market. Great article by the way.

I think Twitter is already mainstream. If I'm using it, then it is definitely mainstream!

None of my customers or potential customers are on Twitter.
What good does twitter do me?

It seems most people are selling or pushing their business on Twitter, but where are the customers? Lots of stores talking to each other, nobody listening.

My tests of moving traffic to my website via Twitter: I have 500+ followers. In a one week period only 37 hits came from Twitter-related traffic.
I could get more traffic by chaning the keywords in my website meta-tags.

twitter makes a useful product. People like to connect and twitter allows that, but much of their success is purely in getting brand awareness so far. But what happens when they burn all their cash? The VCs are gonna want ROI. Twitter itself doesn't seem to want to make money, so how long can they keep tapping the VCs?

Anyway, will twitter last even if it does start to make money? (which even Facebook is finding hard) I love twitter so far. I have found some interesting people to follow and I get arstechnica.com updates thru it. But I suddenly got a surge of followers (barely ten or so, but about double what I had) this weekend and I'm thinking, do I really want all these marketers/SEO/trend harvesters following me? I don't like blocking people arbitrarily, so I spend a minute or 2 looking at the person's tweet history and consider their bio. Some I let follow me without me following them. Some I block. I mean why do they want to follow me? I'm not an internet celebrity. I have some interesting tweets, but not many. Do I want to follow my follower if I don't know him and he has no reputation? Sometimes. Other times I just assume the potential follower is a lazy marketer who doesn't care about me beyond how much more money he can charge his clients because he follows one hundred thousand people and his competitor follows ninety thousand.

Anyway, my point is, if twitter becomes like work for me as I try to audit my potential followers, I will abandon it (or hide from the public timeline). So would many others. Then what would the marketers/SEO/trend harvesters do to get market data? I suggest they stop following and just use the twitter API to do automated searching on the public timeline.

If all that was TLDR for you, consider this: your business needs a consistent way to make money WITHOUT venture capital. In that way, twitter is a lesson in how not to do it. Also, if you think you can make money by following tons of people, maybe you can, but you might make more and be more responsive to your customers by being extremely selective in whom you follow and by interacting with them about your product. Make it at least look as if you care about them beyond their money.

Great post - I am finding that my Twitter relationships are in many ways more useful than connections I've made through Facebook or LinkedIn. Not to minimize either of those outlets, because I do gain a lot from both - but the information shared freely is astounding.

You need only ask on Twitter when you are perplexed about anything from a PC problem to a marketing idea to whatever your question may be - and within seconds there are endless folks willing to provide sincere assistance.

Just be sure to always give back more than you receive! Pay it forward!

Great post! Yet.. Don't forget that when this guys launched twitter they probably didn't expect this success or this road the site would take. The flexibility and the speed which how they changed and switched the business to where it was going was a key factor in their success. For entrepreneurs, it's like when Guy Kawasaki said "let the flowers bloom"

Excellent job identifying 'lessons' (I'm a big fan of those). A bit of a sidepiece, and very difficult to duplicate is there branding. When competitors emerged, people would say, I signed up at "XYZ microblog", it's like * Twitter*...

Beyond that the spinoff branding vocabulary is unprecidented. Tweetups, Twestival, Tweeple, on and on. There has to be a new page in the dictionary to accomodate all the new terms.

As stated, this is difficult to reproduce, but makes for an interesting lesson.

Keep it coming.

I have learned by being on Twitter that, one needs to focus, I don't always follow those who follow me, and I am now strategizing who and where my suspects are. I have 3 different services - this ought to keep me busy. Thank you for the information, especially the ranking.
