A Secret NEW Business Weapon

I few months back I received an invitation to Twitter.  To tell you the truth, I did NOT get it.

If you are not familiar with Twitter yet, it is what is a Microbloging system.

With it you can blog simple acts and thoughts as they happen throughout the day.

I honestly could not imagine why anyone what want to know what I was doing at that level, and I just did not see why I would care to knwo what they were doing.

Well, I have had an opportunity to rethink that opinion.

I had an opportunity to meet with a true internet marketing guru, Drew Kossoff (www.rainmakeradventures.com), a few weeks back, and we chatted a bit about it.

He planted a few thought seeds so I started watching this more closely.

I found myself gaining interesting and meaningful insight into the lives of the people I was following.

I suddenly realized that I had a new competative marketing weapon to use.

One colleague I ran into was amazed when I asked him very specific questions in regards to a trip he had just taken with his family.

An business associate of mine asked me how I knew who was where and what they were up to? I explained my use of Twitter and how I was using it to track friends and see what everyone was up to. 

Now he is addicted to Twitter and uses it to cultivate relationships with clients and get the inside edge on his sales competitors.

This is interesting but it is nothing when you consider the internet marketing and social networking implications of it.

I can think of dozens of creative ways to use it.

Can you?

Please comment with your ideas.
