I have found for me it is best to just go for it. I made two spelling mistakes on this post. More importantly is that I wrote the piece. Nothing happens for me unless I go for it. I will make mistakes as I move forward. I'm not perfect. No one is. Working on things until it is perfect just doesn't work. So thank you Marisa for pointing out the mistakes but I think you are missing the point of my post.

This is a great post, for the most part, and complements most of my own ideas about whether or not using Twitter for business is a good, strategic move. One thing to note: be sure to double proofread your posts before they go up because statements with even just one typo, let alone two, (e.g. "Support – are you having an technical or other issue, let people now on twitter.") make first timers to the site a little weary about its (and your) credibility.

Twitter is a tremendous tool as a knowledge network and news source. I found out about the plane crashing in the Hudson via twitter (just as my bus was about to enter the Lincoln Tunnel). Anything that helps you become smarter and more informed is going to help you get more business.

Agree completely with your evaluation of Twitter. I've used it for help with technical issues, feedback on articles, and establishing my personal brand. I also get satisfaction helping others with their issues in my areas of expertise. Paying it forward = happiness.

Right after I wrote this blog post the death of my Uncle hit me hard. I twittered about it and got a lot of really good feedback from my followers. It helped me a lot to feel better. Thank you twitter followers.

I totally agree with your Twitter for business assessment. I especially enjoy using Twitter to see how successful people in my field (and beyond) are spending their time. It's an idea I first read about in a Joe Vitale e-newsletter mailing, and it immediately "clicked" as a great way to be able to emulate the positive choices of thriving individuals.

Each of your points is spot on and a reminder that we must take advantage of every opportunity to get our business noticed, without spamming or turning off our followers.
