I imagine it's not as highly recognized away from the the internet. On the other hand as the internet is becoming more and more pervasive, with greater than 75% broadband reach in the US, and with the increasing use of internet banking, social sites and other tools and functionalities, I'd wager that if Twitter has grown as much as it has in only 3 years, the chances of more people finding out about it and potentially utilizing it moving forward are high. Compound that with more and more regular endorsement by mass media, and the continuing flow of ever increasing data on the utilisation of social networking sites, including Twitter, by businesses to create buzz, make offers, gather feedback, deal with detractors and supporters in real time and build brand awareness. I'm not saying it;s easy, I am saying that as GenY and iGen will soon outnumber babyboomers, and 96% of them already have one or more social accounts, it might not be a businesses benefit to continue to under-estimate the power of social media for too much longer.

My question is , aside from Twitter being an interesting diversion, I don't see the real business value. I read posts all the time where people refer to Twitter as 'amazing' and 'unbelievable', but they rarely back this statement up with anything of business / marketing value. I'm ok with accepting that Twitter is a great toy to mess around with (if you are into that), but from a business marketing standpoint, can anyone quantify the value of Twitter? Maybe it has value for a start-up that is just trying to get the word out and hopes to catch some early influencers, but how can Twitter be leveraged to improve a company's bottom line? Think Nike, Microsoft, and Barnes and Noble... I really want to believe there is value to using Twitter as a marketing channel, but I just don't see how you can achieve a positive ROI.

Here's a list of the top 100 Twitter mashups/apps I found on Twitter (heh) thanks again to @doshdosh http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/labs/twitter-50 Hi Spostareduro :) Yep, it’s actually quite astonishing how much can be imparted in 140 characters.

The first thing I do in the morning, yes even before my first cup of coffee (miraculous as it may be) I am Tweeting "good morning".. I've seen incredible, funny, touching, intelligent, moronic, gross, obsessive, news worthy, and even spiritual Tweets coming that tiny 140 character box. It's never a dull moment. I love Twitter and even am mad at it sometimes. But wouldn't trade it in for nothing. I have to admit I too am a Twitter addict.
