Twitter required serious working and i think its useless to spend so much time on one social media site, rather its better to work for keywords positioning on SE.

Instead of wasting your time and energy on Twitter, there are far better and more productive online (and offline) strategies to pursue.

All of us know the powerful influence of internet so we can easily understand what sort of communication can be achieved through one of the most popular social media like twitter. Lots of targeted audience can be reached through this type of communication. Twitter is a platform where you can have that personal touch from where you can get answer for any question about anything direct from the horse's mouth.And here lies the secret of success behind this social media site. This can be exploited as an useful advertising medium. I do agree with Eric.

It’s a service that you can use however you like, and it’s part of a broad wave of how communication is changing.

But there's an art to using Twitter well, especially if you're tweeting as the voice of a business or brand.

As far as directly trying to promote things, it seems like you first have to spend some serious time and effort into promoting your Twitter account! In a lot of ways, it still seems like a superfluous step in the marketing process, but it comes naturally for some types. I just can't find the patience for it, and that's probably because I'm not seeing proportionate returns..
