I am finding myself becomming addicted to Twitter.. http://www.twitter.com/preneur
but am yet to find the true value there..

I have received one or new sign-ups to my database from Twitter but that doesn’t justify the time i have spent “twittering”..

I see the value in a few ways…
- in links as Brad says
- as a way to grow your network
- a way to let people ‘into your world’ and feel the love, which grows the bond with prospects
- seo value as Ed points out
… and most importantly
- another contact method (a form of check move theory)

Thanks for the comments, looks like Ed’s just pwned me I think I’ll have to play with twitter a bit and see what it can do.

Brad - if the only benefit that you can see is PR then I can’t see that twitter will be influential for long as it’ll quickly become a spam free for all.

Thanks for the mention

Brad raises a good point - Twitter’s potentially a good place to get links.

For my money, I stopped using Twitter (and blogging) at around the same time because they weren’t directly making me a profit, and were distracting me from more profitable uses of my time.

David,

I wonder about that, too. I even asked Ed what he liked about it when he spoke at StomperNet Live in Atlanta this month.

One thing worth noting: Twitter has a high Google PageRank and you can create static links to your web site(s) on Twitter and they count for incoming link popularity.
