A Song About Twitter?

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but people on the internet are lovin’ Twitter. Everywhere, including here, you have people talking about it and posting what they call a Twitter Badge in the sidebar of their blogs. Check out our sidebar, mine and Brent’s Twitter Badge is there showing you our last post on Twitter. I’m much more active than Brent, but I’m much more active on the internet than Brent as evidenced here on this blog. But even people who aren’t very internet savvy are getting on board at Twitter.
Why do you think that is? Well I suppose many feel it’s a way to socialize with like-minded people (Tweeple or Tweeps in Twitterville). It reminds me of a big party where you can hear other people’s conversations all going on at the same time. But you can’t always here both sides. So you pick up on information here and there, and then you wander around to learn more. You may even say hi to someone because they were having a conversation that interested you. There are people talking with each other, some talking to themselves, and others talking to everyone in the room.
The question that leads every 140 character post is “What are you doing?”. Heck, that phase is almost as iconic now as AOL’s “You’ve got mail” or Verizon’s “Can you hear me now?”. In fact Twitter has been discussed on offline news shows the likes of CNN, ABC and USA Today.
Yesterday I was on Twitter and someone I follow (I don’t remember who) posted a link to a song about Twitter. Yes, can you believe it, someone wrote a song about Twitter. If you know and love Twitter like I do, and have been on the internet and in social networking for any length of time, you’ll understand and agree and have a good laugh about what the guy talks about in the song. I just think it’s hilarious, so much so, I posted here. Just click where it says PLAY in orange.
Very soon I’m going to change the report I give away when you sign up for my newsletter. And…you…guessed it! It’s going to be a report about Twitter. Everything you need to know to navigate Twitter and use it not only for fun and staying connected, but to market your products as well. I may get that done this weekend, so stay tuned!

Twitter is a great tool for social networking but creative ideas like this are often necessary to get ahead of the rest. SEO is a well known art these days so more honest work is required to promote your interests, particularly on competitive keyword searches.
Hmm.. gives “Sorry, this article is not available yet.” when I click on it. Twitter is definately popular. I wonder how long it will stay that way. The retention rate of twitter is fairly low, I think it’s over 80% of visitors don’t return from a study that I read. But it is still very exciting for internet marketer.
I did come across the song few weeks back. It’s so awesome to see that twitter has become such a big part in our lives isn’t. Who ever hasn’t heard the song, you guys surely have to.
Really good post. Good info for everyone who’s interested in design.
