		<description>I found at least seven Twitter benefits in my first week using it.

Now, finishing up week #2, I am completely hooked. Two chief marketing officers are now following me and I&#039;m building relationship that otherwise would not have been possible.

I find Facebook a pain because I do keep getting silly messages like so an so is watching TV today etc....</description>

		<description>I use Twitter (@mikesmind) and don&#039;t think that spam will ruin it.  Why?  In Twitter you decide who to follow.  There have been people that I follow who started to be a little &quot;spammy.&quot;  All I did was stop following them and the noise stopped.</description>

		<description>Hi Robert,

Do you use Twitter? YES
Is it a waste of time? NO
Will spammers ruin Twitter? Not if you don&#039;t follow them.
What&#039;s your BEST Twitter marketing tip? ...

I have to say that I was intrigued when you started following me on twitter. As an early twitter user, it is interesting to me to see the Internet marketers come out on twitter. Don&#039;t fall into the pattern of just posting your links. You will get tweeple unfollowing, or worse, teach your list how to use twitter all wrong.

I have several twitter accounts. My original main account as @jeanettejoy, one for bamboowomen for upcoming seminars, and one for my fiction writing. Creating accounts for events gets the community momentum going.

You never know who is following you. I had trouble sending a broadcast to my list, and within seconds of posting my question on twitter, 1sc was right there walking me through the process. The problem was with my email account because of spam into my account freezing my server.  

Most of all, have fun on twitter! Joy~ Jeanette</description>

		<description>I use Twitter.  My friends use Twitter too.  I think it is good if you do not have the luxury of time to write a full blog post.  You gotta update your friends/network with what you&#039;re up to... the easiest way to do it, at least in my book, is through Twitter.

Although, I must be honest to say that sometimes I do not like it because when I have a lot to say, I need to truncate the message to 250-words I think.  Bummer.  

But you can&#039;t have the perfect tool eh?  So I just make do with what it can offer.  

It seems like a popular tool these days... I see a lot of my friends... friends friend... all on Twitter!</description>

		<description>Hey Robert,

I think Twitter is great! Can really let lots of other marketers see what you are planning or launching very quickly. It is easy to link up with your &lt;a href=&quot;http:///www.Ray-Johnson.co.uk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Internet Marketing Blog&lt;/a&gt; as they provide widgets.

Also I have found it really easy to customise with your own design, to sum up twitter: it is simple but effective!

Thanks,
Ray Johnson</description>

		<description>Robert,

Thanks for a good, clear example of Twitter being used for something other than just occupying brain cells.

Regarding Paul Cowen&#039;s example of big name Internet marketers making use of Twitter, I suppose Ed Dale or Jeff Walker would attract followers on Twitter.  They already have a large, loyal fan base that pays huge dollars to get their hands on anything they have to say.  (A fan base that I believe, for the most part, was not created using Twitter.)  

Granted, I can see where &quot;Twittering&quot; can have value for someone who already has celebrity status in their field.  However, do you think that proper use of Twitter can convert a &quot;nobody&quot; into a &quot;somebody&quot;?
