How to Demo Twitter - Holy Kaw!

How to Demo Twitter

Posted 1 day ago and seen 5612 times

This is the set of links that I used to demo Twitter to the Surfing Industry Manufacturers Association. The purpose was to show consumer brands like Reef, Sector 9, and Sanuk how they could use Twitter as a tool. I went down through this list to show them why Twitter is such a valuable marketing tool.

Introduction

  • Home page

  • Profile page

    • Monitor

  • Search

  • Surftech

  • Starbucks VIA

  • Guy Kawasaki or Alltop

    • Watch

  • Search for “Comcast”

  • Search for “Comcast ” or “Directv”

    • Sell

  • Dell Outlet

  • Kogi BBQ

    • Support

  • Comcast Cares

  • JetBlue

    • Interact

  • Virgin America

  • Starbucks

    • Prospect

  • Camaro

  • Camaro near Palo Alto

  • Advanced searches

  • Surfing or skateboarding

    • Tools

  • Tweetdeck for Mac or PC

  • Tweetie for iPhone

  • Tweetmeme to build traffic

  • Twitterfeed to insert RSS feeds.

  • CoTweet for a "CRM" approach.

  • Objective Marketer for tweeting.

    • Best Practices

  • Always be linking—“inform.” Example: Surfing.alltop.

  • Always be responding.

  • Always be getting retweeted.

    • Dogmas to Ignore

  • You should “me-form.”

  • You should not repeat tweets.

  • You should not automate tweeting.

  • You should not use ghosts.

    Good stuff, but I wouldn't put any advice related to Twitter at the level of "dogma", a bit over the "all"- top, maybe?

    This is great list of businesses who get Twitter. I think Hummingbird 2 would be a fantastic addition to Twitter tools section. ( http://bit.ly/eH12M ) This new software lets you keyword target and follow real people. Really excellent performance for small business and individuals looking to gain alot of interested followers and new customers.
