And I preferred the pre-twit Andrew :-) So no Twittering for me. I suspect the word 'twit' doesn't have the same meaning in the US that it has here in the UK ... because Twitter just sounds so silly to me, I don't think I could keep my self respect if I was so desperate that I had to base my business around something with a name like that ;-) Dean Well, I hate parties.

This is a hard question. Personally, for product driven styles and your a new company, Twitter would be about Brand Image building. Yes, you'll sell some products, but if you focus on Brand Building, you can sell a lot more. Warrior even has a profile and all the WSO's appear as a tweet. I'd say that is product driven, eh? My approach is to use Twitter as a Personal Branding Tool, and it was interesting that it is possible to sell products. But, Twitter is not the best way to sell products, because Google won't find you, and it takes a lot of time to get followers. And, I think those viral tweeter generators are for the birds (no pun intended). That is my story, and I'm sticking to it. Thanks Andrew.

Established brands all over the place use it as an extension of their customer service. And anyone can use it anyway they want, and if they don't like it, they can get their money back :-) However instead of just direct lead generation, which "success" can be tracked the same as any other old school sales tool, bulding relationships with other business owners that you can learn from, count on, possibly have JV's with, get to speak at conferences etc... is the best route IMHO for someone that doesn't already of an established large company.
