Web 2.0 property Twitter has produced a lot of attention in the last few months with a plethora of celebrities integrating Twitter on their TV shows , and business strategists saying that you can use Twitter to new business leads , the talk about Twitter is hard to avoid . You most likely know people on Twitter and you may well have received bribes o follow people on Twitter. That segues us to our main topic . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?
It seems as though many people are still ignoring the potential of Twitter. That could be because it’s potential is disguised inbetween benile posts about breakfast choice.
But however you approach your Twitter strategy and there’s a great FREE training video about that at http://www.TrafficHug.com/twittervideo/ but whatever you do, you should be doing something. The smallest benefit will be extra chances for impressions , ideally with some way of people finding you by your keyword, or your name.

You paste the HTML in to your site.
It works great on Wordpress blogs as a sidebar Text Widget. I’ve added one on all my blogs.

Integrating your Twitter page with your existing web properties is an essential strategy. One you can do in the next 10 minutes, with a few mouse clicks,
