Barbara, I couldn’t agree more. In my experience workgroups love having greater clarity regarding the scope of their task and greater specificity regarding the questions they need to answer. It speeds up the rulemaking process AND the product is better. A twofer.

I am not at liberty to discuss in great detail, however, I have a closing this month as a direct result of @Twitter.

I have had many other people *contact me* – I would guess 2 of those will most likely be a ‘close’.

So yeah, I’m me on Twitter. That’s very apparent. Business is not why I started, nor why I continue to be there, however, yeah, it’s definitely working for me. @KimWood

In light of tonight’s Online Dominance Webinar, it might be prudent to have your special guest expert G-II Varrato speak to the “highest and best use” of online social communities and micro-blogging at Twitter. I would even encourage you to consider adding a follow up post from G-II’s comments about Twitter. One more thought, when you send out information on a special guest speaker and their field of expertise (in this case online social media), maybe include links to their various sites for a closer examination. My efforts to find any Twitter conversations from G-II proved fruitless. http://www.youcanfollow.me/

Hi Kathy – I don’t think this article is dismissing Twitter simply because it is an online social networking tool. It is donwplaying Twitter’s effectiveness because this particular tool is very limited in its capacity and we have yet to see anyone having success using it as a business tool. In fact, when I read some of Mr. Russer other articles and such, he mentions quite a few social networking tools that are in fact pretty useful for business communication and development. Not sure where your point about seminars and conferences not being effective earthbound tools comes from in this particular post as he never addresses them?

Our company just spent an hour meeting talking about Twitter and several other of the current “Social Networking” phenomenon. After about 40 minutes, some one in the back asked, how much business can you personally contribute to using Twitter or any of these other networking avenues? The speaker, one of our most tech savvy agents, said “None yet”.

Bottom line, if it works, we may try it, but we must remember that getting a buyer and seller to a closing table is the name of the game.

Is Twitter being discounted simply because it is an online social networking tool? Your post leads me to believe professional conferences, seminars, and community involvement are not an “effective earth-bound business tool” either.
