I have to admit that I must be a great judge of talent or maybe this podcast pushed Mark over the edge of the other competitors. Ha! Mark won the prestigious iSixSigma  2009 MVP Awards for Best Continuous Process Improvement Tweeter at the iSixSigma Live Conference this year. This podcast was taped in July, 2009 but the information is still solid and even more relevant today.  Listen to Mark’s thoughts on Blogging and Tweeting as he surpasses 2,000 “Engaged” followers, this month.

Twitter’s New Users Drive 600% Growth

Popular microblogging site Twitter now has about 4M-5M users, the majority of whom joined in 2008 and have contributed to the site’s 600% growth in the last 12 months, according to the first “State of the Twittershpere” (pdf)  report from HubSpot. The research, which covers…

Spam Doubles, Personalized Spam Quadruples in 2008

Spam nearly doubled worldwide since last year and now accounts for nearly 200 billion email messages each day (approximately 90% of email sent), while “personalized” spam based on personal information stolen from the web, has quadrupled in the same time period, according to a study…

Now, is there a correlation? I hardly think so but are the twitter people running away from the spammers. But what am I doing following hundreds, thousands of people? Can I say that it is just another form of sophisticated spamming?   Help me here? What is going on?

Chris Brogan – Twitter for Business –
Thurs, Dec 11th, Noon CST

Twitter is all the rage these days, but what does this social media tool, part blog, part social network, part RSS reader, have to offer marketers? Join me for a discussion on using Twitter for Business with social media expert Chris Brogan and learn the tips, tools, tactics and strategies to get the most from using Twitter.

One of the faster growing trends on Twitter is the Retweet. If someone says something remotely profound or links to something that someone else finds interesting, an individual can take that tweet and retweet it to their entire network. Think of it like word of mouth for Twitter. Getting someone to tweet something you say (or do) and then getting additional individuals to retweet it is the highest form of praise and acceptance.

So, what exactly makes someone tweetable?

It’s about time.

Think about when it’s about you and when it’s about them.

People definitely love Twitter for the conversational and permission-based stalking aspect of the community.

Be someone worth following.

Twitter is full of so much little content, which is exactly what makes it even more complex to rise above. So, while it may be fast, easy and free to publish your thoughts on Twitter, it’s near-impossible to have your messages break through all of that clutter to become tweetable.

Just how tweetable are you?
