Ahhh, Twitter. For better or worse, the service has gained major exposure from Ellen, Oprah, P. Diddy, and its most popular user, Ashton Kutcher. Additionally, in a desperate attempt to appear young and relevant, news organizations such as Fox, CNN and MSNBC have jumped on the bandwagon as well, shoving their twitter names down our throats and creating a television format based entirely around reading tweets from their followers. Of course, with this increase in exposure, the marketing folks come pouring out the woodwork: from self-promoting freelancers to corporate twitter accounts, it seems I can’t send out a single tweet without some spambot kicking in and auto-friending me. But how effective is twitter as a marketing tool?

Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook, MyBlogLog…there are so many tools to keep virtual friends these days, it’s a full-time job just keeping up!
But I’m going to make it easier on you.
Why would you want to follow me on these sites? Why, so I can do the work for you! Many times I’ll share stories, tutorials or other interesting tidbits that don’t make it to the site on these services. I’ll also post whenever there is a new post here on Twitter, but the best way to get those is still good ol’ RSS.
So go ahead and follow me on any of these services- you’ll be glad you did!
