I’m sure you’ve probably read a blog, received an instant messenger, got an invite or something that has to do with Twitter in the last couple months right? You’re also probably wondering, what the heck “Twitter” is and how in the world can anything like that benefit your marketing efforts or internet business blog. This is something I found in Digg and there are some great comments too, notably:

I'm still trying to get my head around all these new microblogging platforms like Twitter. So I did a bit of keyword research using Wordtracker and by searching for Twitter I soon realised that one of the largest search volumes was for 'Lee McDerment Twitter' - I did a bit of research and found out that he loves God and The Bible and guitars. His music is actually really quite good, nothing like you would expect.

Anyway so I made a Twitter profile for him and a Lee McDerment Squidoo lens, mainly as an experiment to see how you can use microblogging to generate leads or sales.

I'll be very interested to see how this does in the next few days, he seems like a well nice guy, so he could probably use a bit of extra exposure.
