I am not a Twitter-er. Correction - I was not a Twitter-er. However, after Seth Godin’s faux pas in not claiming his name in Twitter and thereby opening himself up to a faux Seth Godin twit, I decided it was time to give in and start tweeting er… twittering.
Does this mean I must notify everyone on my TwitterList when I’m eating lunch, or feeling down, or vacuuming? Will they TwitterBack to give me menu suggestions, cheer me up, or offer to come over and dust? I have to admit I don’t totally get it, but since I’m supposed to be Internet-savvy, I guess I’ll have to get twit it.
I found a good blog posting titled 10 Benefits of Twitter for Companies, so I signed our company, Terralever, on as Twitter-ers too. I’m going to summarize his 10 points, but you really should go read it, if you haven’t opened a Twitter account. (Remember Seth Godin.)
- It makes your company look “open”
- It helps you get clients
- You can communicate with clients

So hey - when you start twittering give me a tweet - I’m SEODiva on Twitter.

Sona, you don’t want to get left behind!
Seth’s experience had all of us running to make sure we at least got our personal and company names. Good reminder, but now surely you can see the SEO and traffic benefits? Try it out.
