The question is ... can Twitter take the hit? They are already having issues adjusting to the heavy load of having so many users ... can it take the hit of the heavy indexing Google would have to do to keep up with constant posting?

The other question is ... do you want it to? Do Twitter "conversations" make any sense outside the Twitter world? If you came in from a Google search without a sense of context or timeline, would anything on Twitter be actually understandable or useful? Or is the possibility of Google searching Twitter just adding more noise into the mix?

I use Twitter, but I am having a hard time find anything useful about Twitter. Everybody on Twitter claims to be an expert in some feild, 70 % of people want to sell something. I do think it is fad that will be used for one year or less before people get tired of it. It is usefull in a sense that makes easy to know what D-Howard is doing today, but is it useful in a business sense, I find it hard to beleive, I like to hear different opinion.

I personally believe that Twitter is the most revolutionary marketing product since e-mail. Twitter no longer just revolves around  "What Are You Doing?" It totally evolved from that concept… Now there is "How Do I Feel About This." In my opinion there are two really big reasons why Twitter is so great. One – you can get a hold of people that you would not be able to outside of the Application. Your examples proved this splendidly. And Two – Real Time Searches.  You say that you can`t find anything relevant?  I really don`t know how you can`t.  Do a search in Twitter for you market, and you will find tons of real time searches that will allow you to become that expert in your field.

And I should point out that I don’t see Twitter as a platform to make money with… I see it as a platform to communicate with the market you are trying to communicate with. Don’t get me wrong there are probably lots of people making money off this, I just don’t use it like that.

Those that spam twitter people usually don`t follow. posting the same affiliate status updates is a waste of their time. they have no idea how to use twitter. 

On the other hand, I ran across a nice article on how one company is actually using Twitter correctly.

Its hard to put a $$ figure on the amount of time it takes to build a community and track that profit.  SEO and PPC are much more easier to put an ROI figure on.

Microblogging is a broadcast medium in the form of blogging. A microblog differs from a traditional blog in that its content is typically smaller in both actual and aggregate file size. Microblogs "allow users to exchange small elements of content such as short sentences, individual images, or video links".

 

As with traditional blogging, microbloggers post about topics ranging from the simple, such as "what I'm doing right now," to the thematic, such as "sports carsCommercial microblogs also exist, to promote websites, services and/or products, and to promote collaboration within an organization.
