Does Anyone Have A Great Twitter Example?

Ken's Blog

I've been having a fun exchange with twitterers over at Twitter.You can see my posts there at...

http://twitter.com/KEvoy

Before I was "tweeting," I didn't see it as a useful adjunct for building business. I just didn't. But I kept hearing it, so the only way to really understand is to do it. Now that I've set up my own Twitter spot and am twitting (does that make me a twit?), I still don't see it.

I certainly don't see anything I can do there to help grow SiteSell. It's just not time-efficient, not compared to what I could otherwise be doing.

I can see the "fun" in it. But I'd rather socialize and help grow businesses here. Otherwise, I'd rather socialize offline, where I'm not typing!

But a mini-industry has grown up on the "secrets of using Twitter to grow your business." They include such great ideas as subscribing to 40,000 other twitterers so that they subscribe to you. Twitter spam. Everyone not reading someone else's tweets. Wow. That's going to work.

How Discovery Is Different Than Search

Ken's Blog

Matt Cutts, while discussing the new Google Blogsearch...

http://blogsearch.google.com/

... brought up a really interesting point.

Discovery is different than search.

With Stumbleupon and other Social Media, including BlogSearch (which folks will RSS-subscribe to, to get political feeds or whatever), it's more about discovery. You "stumble" onto interesting new sites.

But when folks search, the vast majority won't use BlogSearch (only the small percentage of super-savvy and techs, but we have to remember the mass market). They'll use Google. If they are searching for news-type articles - or I should say if that's what Google thinks they are searching for - they'll include a couple of news sources in the Top 10 of their "Universal Search" results, just as they would include some images or videos if they thought those were relevant.

But when surfers use Stumbleupon or Delicious or subscribe to Yahoo! Buzz...
