Twitter as a Marketing Tool

I posted a while back about the possibilities of Twitter as a content delivery platform, and speculated about ways in which we might use Twitter to push content to potential readers.  In the end the idea is a marketing play, and it looks like Twitter might be getting some traction with some marketers (take a look at this great overview by Mark Silva,) although others are still unconvinced.

I still feel that Twitter could be a viable part of a marketing campaign, assuming Evan and crew can keep the site running.  I still have problems posting from IM and many other users complain of reliability issues.  Regardless, Twitter and other micro-blogging services should be considered as part of the marketer’s social media toolkit.

  • Chris,
    Thanks for picking up the story. I think in a few years we'll be talking more about micro-blogging and it's role in marketing.
